As I have said before, this would have started ages ago i Mancini's time. Kids who have now gone would have been used, even if they weren't good enough long term, just to take the weight off. Then I would now have an idea of which ones were more suited to fast tracking & which were not ready.
The League Cup would have been ideal but also some of the games where we have been winning easily. I would ALWAYS have some kids on the bench.
This season, Jason Denayer would be in the squad as cover for cb, right back & def mid. George Evans would be regularly used as cover for midfield. Brandon Barker for wide mid. Pablo Maffeo for right back or to cover in midfield when we need to close down or rest sonebody, Kean Bryan would he a regular. All of these would be ahead of Patrick Roberts, Garcia, Tosin, Humphries etc, most of whom are not really any use to the squad from a practical point of view.
Denayer would have become a regular in the team, in several roles.
The player who was used last season, Pozo, was further away from the required level than any in that list yet the manager was willing to risk him but jt's too much of a risk to ever use any of the others.
It's bullshit. He has no plan for these kids & no idea if they can be used or not & neither do we, because we never see any of them. A proper manager would know by now. He jyst spends money to solve problems, that's all he does.
I stopped at the Mancini bit im afraid.
