Did Pacheco not show him what he could do last summer?

...was going to post the same. He had an excellent pre-season last year but didn't get a sniff once the real stuff started.
Let's hope Rafa has more confidence in him this year.

Did someone quote Rafa from last pre-season by mistake ?

He only started getting it together at the end of the season. I hope Rafa takes it easy for half a season, get him back to tip top and then give him a chance if he's looking the goods.

rafa should show more faith in his kids in the C. the team is usually half first team members (usually the ones who can't get a game) and the kids, it should be more kids and a couple of experienced players.
I've decided Kelly is gonna be superb.

Rafa's a stubborn fucker, and takes a lot of convincing.
The kids should be used in Carling and FA Cup matches. If they don't get through a round then it's no great loss. Although I dunno if Benitez will agree, we've been 3 years without a trophy now and the pressure will start to grow...

Ayala isn't even good enough for the reserve team, maybe not even the U-18s...

A little harsh there. It can't have been easy playing against Arsenal's jet heeled kids alongside that big, slow, clumsy fucker Kennedy.
Ayala is pretty rash at times but isn't a lost cause just yet.

Benitez has said this kind of thing before. I can't see it happening really.
The route from the academy to the first team appears to be extremely difficult indeed. Even if these guys do well in friendlies then the next step I suppose is Carling Cup games. However, if they play in these they are lining up with the dross of the first team squad, not the top players and so as soon as we reach a decent team, out we go and most of these players are not used again, some of them drift out on loan somewhere and (as we know) rarely ever return.
You could argue that they just can't be good enough but sometimes players will benefit and improve from playing regularly with top players at a higher level.

Every time I've seen him play he's been shite. And when you're that slow in the reserve league, how can you take the next step up to the PL? He'll be out on his arse quickly.

Ayala reminds me of Traore.
