Burton (a) pre-match thread

Except he would have been in the squad tomorrow if he wasn't in dispute.He's 18.......and at one of Europe's best sides,you'd think he'd want to show a bit of patience and try and make it here.

Anyway,this isnt the thread and it ends up going in circles as people will always disagree.
But he’d only be in the squad because we are 9-0 up at half time in the League Cup against a League One team. I think he can probably realise that it’s only in these rare scenarios that he’d be given a chance, more to protect important players than to develop the kids, and that it’s not really enough to choose staying over going to Germany, for example. If he can get more money and more opportunities, then it’s a no brainer.
 
It’s the same young players get no chance discussion over and over again. Other than the odd exception, what European top team is playing their kids of 18 on a regular basis?
Yes I’d love young players making it in to the first team. And if that happens when they are actually 18, great. Pep says of Foden he will be treated like any squad player from now on. So he needs to be good enough. As do the other youngsters.
 
PEP:
Komps still has a little injury, should be fit soon.
KDB and Foden will start.
2-3 young players will start, 2-3 on the bench.
Mangala not in the Burton squad.
Muric in goal.
Underplayed players will play, others will have a rest.
No comment on refs due to obvious consequences. "Just play better."
Maybe 1 player will be tested on a different position, otherwise on their usual position.

Brilliant news.
It is. A full month ahead of schedule. I hope people are patient. He's missed so much football it's going to take a lot of games to see him back at his best. The sooner he starts playing competitve games the better.

I only really know from the early 70's on but there weren't too many playing in any top team regularly at that age.

This is probably it. Would love to see Pozo at some point
