Ngog is actually one of those youngsters you say Rafa will never "blood", so is El Zhar who played and set up Riera's goal in the weekend, and so is Lucas...
Rafa will go to the market in January for another player I think(right winger maybe). Rightly or wrongly im not here to debate, but there is no way that any of the following will make more than a very very rare appearence this season if at all. ngog, el zhar, nemeth, plessis, pacheco. (especially if were in the hunt for the EPL come march)
Even in the carling cup he still play's people like yossi, pennant, lucas, voronin, aurellio, keane etc.... In all honesty, I would love him to play Ngog, nemeth, pacheco, plessis and insua in a carling side. I dont give a shit if we get necked 6-0 its all about time and experience, none of which you learn from sitting on the bench or running around in some back paddock in the reserves.
Oh and one last thing, who was the last player to come from our reserves team who has actually made it with us. Gerrard!. Apart from that, warnock and guthrie for there respective teams.
