The above is a link to the Dortmund players being bartenders for the Christmas party. It is a nice thing to see and it shows that the players really do appreciate the fans. I think if WBA ever did that, say after a bad relegation season, I think we would see some of our older players do it such as Foster, McAuley, Lescott, Brunt and Morrison. Maybe even Anichebe and Pocognoli would also do it.
Drewks, I understand your point but against Hull tomorrow, I think that it is likely to be a tight game with not many clear cut chances especially in the first half. Due to this I think it would be a waste if we started with Varela and, due to the game's tightness with neither side wanting to take too many risks and expose gaps, he has little impact before coming off. I would rather we save him for the final 20 minutes and utilise his his pace off the bench against their tired defence to swing the tide in our favour.
If I'm wrong and the match is an open end-to-end contest with lots of chances and both teams trying to exploit each other then not starting Varela would still work out because Berahino and Sessegnon can run the Hull defenders ragged for the first 60-70 minutes and then Varela and Ideye come on to hurt the tired defenders even more, finish them off and win us the game.
