And what makes you think we'll concede 5 if we play the youngsters ? we conceded only two when we played the kids against Spurs in the Carabao cup, we conceded 4 when we played the same team without the youngsters, sorry pal but your arguments don't hold ground.

Needs to watch a game from the stands , it might actually dawn on him that his persistence with these tactics is futile.

I think you are living in a fantasy world if you think children will come in without any senior football experience and perform at the worlds highest level.And what makes you think we'll concede 5 if we play the youngsters ? we conceded only two when we played the kids against Spurs in the Carabao cup, we conceded 4 when we played the same team without the youngsters, sorry pal but your arguments don't hold ground.

Sorry but people complain we carry rico and he has had a couple of seasons in the first team, we cant carry the younger ones with no experience with the first teamers . Do you expect them to get us winning games ? Really ?What a daft post. No one is saying throw 5 in together for fuck’s sake but why not give one or two a try out , fire example O’Reilly in place of Gundo. McAtee when Phil and Kevin were out of form/injured?
Oh and guess what? Wilson-Esbrand is a left back with league experience - he might be a tad better than Josip at defending the left side.
Yeah I get it we're winning a lof of titles with the current players, Gundo is the best midfielder in the world, Walker is the best RB in the world, Silva is the best RW in the world, and Lewis is the best young player in the world, if you're going to be a smart-arse I don't need to be serious.I get it. You dont care about winning trophies, whats important is that we give every youth player with a decent possibility to become an average PL player a few years in the future some minutes.

Actually you can blame Pep's slow passing style for that.
No.. because Pep had Sane.. Pep had Mahrez.. Pep had KDB.. they didn't all side to side. But Grealish does. Now Pep might be to blame for going with a "small squad".
But we can sum up the last 2 months and this last game in 2 sentences:
1. No pass to Haaland in the box till the 90th minute!
2. Too easy to counter without a good enough press.
Without 2 midfielders, 2 CB's, a RB.. I don't see how we make top 4.
I can't believe I'm saying this but is our team actually jealous of Erling so much so they won't play to him??
FFS I totally don't understand how Nunes.. yes that horrible Nunes is the only one able to play passes to Erling.. why/ how does that happen??
No mate, we're winning the treble with current Gundo, Silva, Walker and Lewis, there is no chance in hell the children will do any better than them.I think you are living in a fantasy world if you think children will come in without any senior football experience and perform at the worlds highest level.

The way pep talks about them and his refusal to name and blame players , if players had down tools we would know as we knew when the team downed tools on bobby , it woyldnt be a secretProvide evidence it's not.

All of these players were winning trophies when they were getting minutes ahead of the players you listed, that according to you should be getting minutes instead.Yeah I get it we're winning a lof of titles with the current players, Gundo is the best midfielder in the world, Walker is the best RB in the world, Silva is the best RW in the world, and Lewis is the best young player in the world, if you're going to be a smart-arse I don't need to be serious.

You are fucking wumming nowNo mate, we're winning the treble with current Gundo, Silva, Walker and Lewis, there is no chance in hell the children will do any better than them.
No I don't expect them to carry us to wins, I expect the injured and washed up players to do it.Sorry but people complain we carry rico and he has had a couple of seasons in the first team, we cant carry the younger ones with no experience with the first teamers . Do you expect them to get us winning games ? Really ?

The solution is obviously to replace them with better players, not worse ones. Funny how you also are writing of Lewis, a youth player that is getting minutes, when complaining about youth players not getting minutes.No mate, we're winning the treble with current Gundo, Silva, Walker and Lewis, there is no chance in hell the children will do any better than them.
I'm talking about right now, the players that won us those trophies are past it, injured, or burnt out, they won't be leading us to trophis this season, so why not give the kids a chance not only to prove themselves, but also to give the burnt out players some rest, and the injured players time to recover, maybe if they rest they can improve their performances later on because there is no way in hell that the results will improve if they keep getting run to the ground and rushed back from injuries, is this too much for you to grasp ?All of these players were winning trophies when they were getting minutes ahead of the players you listed that according to you should be getting minutes instead.
No I'm being a smart-arse like that guy Vester.You are fucking wumming now

As I said, probably since the ones who has actually seen these players every day think that they are significantly worse. Is this too much for you to grasp?I'm talking about right now, the players that won us those trophies are past it, injured, or burnt out, they won't be leading us to trophis this season, so why not give the kids a chance not only to prove themselves, but also to give the burnt out players some rest, and the injured players time to recover, maybe if they rest they can improve their performances later on because there is no way in hell that the results will improve if they keep getting run to the ground and rushed back from injuries, is this too much for you to grasp ?
We’re already 2 down and dead and buried. Why persist with the same tired players that have failed to turn it around every single game?
Even if its just to preserve them and give them a breather for the next game.
100% this. Running Bernardo & Gundo into the ground every game is doing nothing, least of all helping them. At this stage it makes no sense to expect them to perform better, so why not mix it up
Even Lewis has been run to the ground, his form at the start of the season was far better than what he is now, replace them with better players ? yeah because it's going to be so easy getting those players in January isn't it ? ok fine let's wait for the transfer market, in the meantime let's keep playing injured and tired players every single game and expect the results to magically change.The solution is obviously to replace them with better players, not worse ones.

No. I expect Erling,Phil and the others to do that but they might just play a part in helping us to do that.Sorry but people complain we carry rico and he has had a couple of seasons in the first team, we cant carry the younger ones with no experience with the first teamers .
