I've never said they would make it. Just that they deserved the opportunity to have a go & would have been perfectly able to come on & do so.
You are completely wrong about Pep at Barca. He used about 15-20 academy kids in his time there, most of whom nobody has heard of since but a few we have. They still won stuff & played great football. The idea using kids costs a club, is nonsense made up by people on here.
So the league statics are wrong too? He gave 3 debuts in his first season, the three I've referenced, 3 with senior experience.
