Aarons is a big disappointment. When he first played a couple of years ago he showed some very exciting potential....but all his injuries have massively hindered his development.
Wonder if his court case is a factor too?
The lad is a sicknote and basically done very little at the club .ok the odd bit of magic here and there but apart from that????????some fans think Rafa should play him,why should he ?were in a battle until January comes .remember Joey Barton when we needed him and he got sent off when he didn't need to make that tackle .Well he let the team down and rafa is doing what he can with what he has got .Aaron's isn't going to save the day just like mitrovic isn't

Kev.
We have 11 players capable of making a decent fist of this league, albeit it mid table.
Rafa, for some reason, plays only eight at any one time. Or is it six.
We all know on here what our strongest side is and it don't include Joselu, Perez, Diame, Manquillo, Diame, but they still get picked.
Aaron's, we should give him a go.
From what others have said about Aarons when they've seen him play for reserves - he's been cack.
Think it was mick that said about him on here.
I also think the court case is playing it's part.
So how old does Yasin Ben El-Mhanni have to be to get a go? He's twenty-fecking-two!!!
He can't be worse than Aarons. He can't be worse than Diame. He can't be worse than Perez. Even if he just stands there most of the time and eventually turns over the ball more than 50% of the time he gets it, he'll be better than Diame and Perez.
Not suggesting the lad is the answer but we have some donkeys on the pitch. And before Aaron's name sullies anyone's mouth, what about this fella? He doesn't pass. And look beyond his silly keepy-uppies and nutmeg videos, he's not afraid with 3/4/5 players around him. Rafa just needs to get him to pass the ball and surely he can contribute more than Aarons...

Good shout on El-Mhanni, i don't know what he's like but when i saw him last season he wasn't great.
Got bullied off the ball very easily and just wanted to run with the ball, even if that meant running into the corner and then losing hte ball.
Might be much better now though for all i know.
El-Mhanni has been awful, so has Victor Fernandez and Callum Roberts.
unfortunately, under peter Beardsley, they've all been dreadful, I've stopped watching the u23s as there's nothing to see there!
i have no idea! if they are all so poor, then the scouting and coaching right through the academy must be dreadful.
it's barely even worth having a reserve team, but Keegan is still criticised about that kind of thing.
I do know, the way our team is playing would not be improved by promoting any of the young uns up a level.
