Alexander-Arnold got a start in a very high-pressure game on Sunday, and I really don't believe he's better than Maffeo. For some reason we seem more reluctant to start academy players than Tottenham (Winks), Everton (Davies), Southampton (Sims), United (Rashford) and Arsenal (Iwobi).

Alexander Arnold started because there was no one else to pick. Everton and Southampton are in the same spot we used to be, their team is shite so it's much easier to pick players.

Iwobi came through before Iheanacho, and rashford has been shoved out to the wing to get him away from the important areas while appeasing fans who thought Mourinho would kill off their youth policy.


We've had 3 league debuts, champions league debuts, Foden and Diaz involved in the first team. This has been the best season for youth at this club for years.

And again, even Cruyff took 2 years to promote kids from la masia when he took over Barcelona. People expecting Pep to arrive, instantly bin seasoned professionals for kids he'd known for a week were living a fantasy.

We know he likes small squads and we have an inflated one with deadweight he couldn't get rid of but has to include. Give the man a fucking chance.

Many liked to blame Pellegrini for preferring senior players.
I said then and I'll say now, it's near impossible to leave out a senior pro to play youth in his position.
Delph & Fenamdo needed game time, so that sadly leaves no room for Garcia.

We all sit behind keyboards and want young player X to play, but we don't have to consider squad harmony.

delph and fernando two guys that are more then likely leaving, getting starts. it doesnt make any sense. give Garcia a run of games.
 
He absolutely commanded his area all night. Showed some lovely tackles in the end, but mostly it was his calmness, press resistance and the eventual distribution which made it an absolute stellar of a performance. Don't think Yaya could have been any better in the pivot role today.

(Will probably ejaculate after someone makes a compilation video of his game.)
 
Needed about ten minutes to get going. Again a very good performance. You can wonder what more he needs to do but competition is very hard.
