I understand the need to win,regrdless of the situation.....but what is happening right now isn't working too well....so try something different,it might just work,especially in a dead rubber.They are no more special than Foden, who got his chances when he earned them, and had to wait until he was good enough.
It might be a farce of a season to you, but to Pep and everyone else at the club it's a very real, very serious season that they want to do well in and pick up trophies, not write it off as a season when we didn't do well but the youth got more chances than usual.
Pep has much bigger fish to fry. He's got to get players back fit after injury layoffs, he's got 2 or 3 badly out of form players he needs to play into form, he's got a CL group he has to finish top in, and an attack that needs to create more without David Silva.

Agree - when you have 20+ senior players on big money then you will always have some of them that need game time to get fitness and retain form. Pep will be thinking that he needs these players to be ready - they are the ones he will turn to when injuries hit or when the fixtures pile up.They are no more special than Foden, who got his chances when he earned them, and had to wait until he was good enough.

Children? lolSo let's just forget about getting people like Aguero and Fernandinho back from injury, Sterling and Bernardo back in form and see if some children do better?
Yep,he isn't getting a deserved opportunity.There have been several where he could have played,but nada.I think Doyle could have played a bit more this season, and last season after the restart. He started a league cup game against a strong Southampton team 13 months ago and did well but since then he's only made 3 brief sub appearances and one start against Bournemouth this season. At the same age Foden had made over 35 appearances so you can't really compare their trajectories.
Children? lol
Sterling is playing like a donkey,Zinchenko the same,Mahrez one good game in a Blue Moon,Gundogan patchy at best,Aguero not fit,Dinho leaving in a few months,Garcia? fuck knows.....
I'm not talking about playing them from the start in important Prem games,i'm talking playing them in a meaningless Chumps game or coming on for 20 mins when we are comfortable in games - they are good enough and their presence would be beneficial in every respect.
Out of interest,how do you see there progression?
Last night a couple could have been on the bench,no reason not to.THB could have played instead of Garcia.One could have been on the bench against Burnley too.Sorry, you actually think they should have played in that match yesterday after seeing how Porto played?
Also, don't call it meaningless when it's not.
Yes. I do see the very clear and obvious progression that is there and I wrote a massive post showing the progression and the pathway about 3 posts ago in reply to you.
Children???Fully expect both Doyle and Palmer to start next week.
