Had high hopes for Dada-Mascoll as a DM but he's been plagued by injuries. Missed virtually all of last season & not been involved so far this season.We seem to produce a lot of good CB's in the academy, all capable of playing out from the back, bringing the ball forward etc.
I think this is the nature of how the club plays in the same way from senior to junior, and also possibly because as defenders they don't have to defend as much as some at other clubs development squads will, something of a chicken and egg situation, of having more time on the ball with slow build up, and not many teams attack us.
It's a pity we don't seem to develop quite as good DM players from the system, because they would be worth their weight in gold, if we could bring one right through to the first team. We all had hopes for Tommy Doyle ( think that was more sentiment), but he'll have a good career just not with City.

Big Night, good luck lad.
The players that have made it have been a RB and attacking midfielder so hard to say what has workedWe seem to produce a lot of good CB's in the academy, all capable of playing out from the back, bringing the ball forward etc.

He didn’t do much wrong, The whole defence and midfield was disjointed. He was no worse than Akanji, for instance.Not ready based on todays showing.

Had a shocker, but talk about being thrown in the deep end! The whole back line was poor really.

Poor lad.

Seeing the rash display for Gyokeres big chance at 3-1, with Simpson-Pusey being last man, pushing up and tackling leaving a huge gap for Gyokeres to run into just says it all for me.
Thats a big step-up in intensity that Simpson-Pusey needs according to his play today.

That’s how we play. Dias would have been done the same tonight.Seeing the rash display for Gyokeres big chance at 3-1, with Simpson-Pusey being last man, pushing up and tackling leaving a huge gap for Gyokeres to run into just says it all for me.

No pressure on the ball in midfield kills the offside trap, whoever the defenders are.
