I can see the benefit of Johnson, Agger, Coates, Doni and Aurelio getting some time, but I would have liked to have seen some youngsters given a go.
The game had it's benefit as a training exercise. Pretty much all those involved either were returning from injury or have not had many opportunities for the first team. The result wasn't important, having fit players ready to replace in case of injury or suspension is.
I agree mate, I just expected the likes of Amoo, Suso and Coady to have had a run out too.
I would have thought Lucas would have been rested after playing twice for Brazil and part of the game on saturday too.
