Pep brought on Kompany & Gundogan vs Newcastle.
Ok, he wanted to give John Stones a few minutes in midfield, and have a look at him. That's still a choice though.
Pep sees that as being more important than giving Foden some game time. I don't, as Newcastle are not the kind of opponent Stones needs to be able to play against. Wheras any opponent is experience for Foden.
His choice was Pellegrinish imo.
You and I aren't under the same pressures as Pep though. I don't agree with all his selections , but I am only a supporter and my choices don't have any impact.
They can’t learn anything unless they are up against a fully focused, motivated and organized opposition team. Brahim does need to learn when to release the ball and when to run with it. If he’s facing defenders that have given up and rather kick him down or doing half arsed defending then he won’t learn. When we’re many goals up the pace of the game is ridiculosly low. He needs to get use to real senior football pace. Not that walking pace football.They won't just get 10 minutes at the end of games though. They should however learn from every appearance they make; even short ones.

What do you think that Foden learned in his 10mins cameo against Huddersfield? Neither him or Pep would’ve learned anything from it. And it’s not about prioritizing young players over results. It’s actually possible to both play young players and win games.Of course they can learn when they are so inexperienced. That doesn't mean they shouldn't play in more challenging circumstances or learn more from those.
What remains the case and likely will for the foreseeable is that the manager of MCFC will prioritise results over blooding young players so supporters and young players will have to be patient on that front. Any time they get on the pitch, they need to do what is asked of them and make the most of the opportunity.
Would also ask would people rather win the Premier league or have Foden and Brahim each start say 20 matches?
I’ll ask you this. Would you rather win the PL with our rising stars each getting 10 hours experience or 1 hour?
I ask you whether you realise your post is total, irrelevant bollocks.
Only joking.
