If we had to field an Academy-only Premiership side

--------------------------Gunn
Maffeo-------Denayer--------Bryan-----Smith-Brown
-------------Davenport-------A.Garcia
Roberts----------------Byrne-------------------Brahim
------------------------Kelechi
Subs: Lawlor, Adarebioyo, Humphreys, M. Garcia, Celina, Ntcham, Ambrose
Maybe swap Davenport with Celina and then drop Byrne back.
I went for solidity and 'experience'. The reality is we'd struggle as some of those players haven't played senior football yet and the squad depth wouldn't be that good. There's no doubting the quality though, Kelechi could get 20 league goals and Roberts could get 10 but how would those players fair with their backs against the wall in a relegation scrap? I think with Guardiola in charge they might just survive the drop and even thats reaching. Pellegrini would have got them relegated...He would have misread the hypothetical, signed Bony and put Kelechi on the bench.
