Young Stars

[Mark]

Well the only thing I'm upset about is that boro's second goal was given as an own goal when I don't really think it was, but it's their style to try and make our new hyped up expensive signing look as bad as possible, so it's expected...

But I'm happy and admitedly quite surprised we got this far in the first place playing so many youngsters, but I'm glad to see how promising a lot of them look.

Basically I wanna know who you think has been our young player of the tournament. Stack for his great saves? Clichy for his consistency? Aliadiere for his goals? My vote would go to one of those three probably.

Once again, well done to the youngsters for getting us this far. The future is looking bright.

Stackie. His saves were brilliant.

 

[Stim]

Aliadiere for me, we blatantly missed his goals when he didnt play. The other two are also worthy winners though.

 

[jeremiesgirl]

Ali without doubt -he really shined in this competion and scored that fantastic goal against Wolves -we must remember Ali really helped us to get as far as we did by scoring goals in EVERY round on the Carling Cup he played in.

Well done Ali!!!

ali, clichy and stack.

 

[patrick42uk]

clichy, despite aliaidiere's goals, i feel overall performance-wise he has been the most consistent.

it's a real shame ali was injured, he looked so good in this competition, crying out for a place in the starting 11. i hope he comes back and plays some FA cup games perhaps if we draw a weaker team after hopefully beating chelski.

I think ali, Clichy, Stack and Bentley have all done really well, but in this order for me:

1) Ali
2) Stack
3) Bentley
4) Clichy

There's not much in it though.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

ali, clichy and stack.

Seconded. Shame Cesc didn't get more time, he looked good.

 

[Fuzzo]

1. Ali
2. Clichy
3. Stack
4. Bentley, ALL VERY WELL PLAYED

 

[Andrew]

A tie between Clichy and Ali. I would just choose Clichy, because he has shown against better quality opposition (boro tonight) that he can perform well.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

If Gael Clichy does not turn out to be a huge star for us, I will be shocked

 

[Mark]

the only thing hindering clichy's progress is that ashley cole is not many years older than him. perhaps we should convert gael into a left midfielder although he looks a lot better at LB.

 

[pome]

bentley, stack, ali and clichy all look very promising shame ali got injured, he could have finnished what he started! we missed him big time in the semis

 

[Mark]

also a shame we couldnt've seen senderos play in this competition. we have to wait till next year now...

 

[pamilih]

Everybody played, but too bad we lost one man. First we are a bit thin upfront and then we are down to 10. As AW said, we could've won if 11-11, because we were actually at par with them.

 

[Senght]

Ali for his goals. Im also surprised that we actually got so far in the Carling Cup. Weak opposition maybe? He

 

[gypped]

Let's make Stack oour next #1, and before you know it, he'll be replacing Shay Given on the Irish national team! I've been impressed with him, and I think he could have a great future at Highbury, then at Ashburton Grove!

 

[r_blair2]

Clichy looks good on the left wing

 

[satan_beckham]

aliadere surely,when he didnt play,we always loses..in carling cup that is
