Demi has played midfield for us about 20 times, usually pushed forward due to a sub. A bizarre thing to have a bash at him for.

And I actually don't care if he plays a full team in these games. The reason I want him to play youth in the first team in the PL and Cups is so that they can get used to the speed of thought and fitness needed in the first team. Playing in half arsed friendlies is almost useless to them and could be argued that it makes their proper team debuts even harder as they had a wrong impression of the required quickness.

As a marketing exercise which these are then bring out all the stars and the nice dancing bears, doesn't really matter. Though having a few kids on the pitch is always a nice thing for them to experience emotionally. I'm all for a full team in the US.

Oh I don't know. As we watched wondering if any of the other kids would get a run out on comes...good old Demi. They say good comedy is all in the timing and Pellers nailed it with that one. So yeah he got a few raspberries over it. We all know Demi can do a stint in midfield in fact there is little we don't know about Demi and what he can or cannot do so why bother. If you want to give Demi a run out then swap him for Boyata another player in the 'what is the point of...?' category.

I guess it all depends on what you want out of it. Me I wanted a few kids amongst the regulars so until we got that I was giving Pellers the bird.

Can you give me an example of when we did this?

Or did you just read it on here and it fed into your Likkle City insecurities?

The feeling amongst a lot of fans is that we are waiting for Guardiola to join us, when he's ready, filling time till he's available. This is dangerous on the playing side & embarrassing for a club the size of City.

so it's embarrassing because people, who are not employed by the club, have made assumptions to suit their own uninformed narrative, to then make irrational judgements about people for absolutely no logical reason.

So 442 is the problem then. Why play it if we don't have the players? Shouldn't we play the hand we're dealt?

We won the league playing 442 in the majority of our games in the last two seasons we've won the title. I don't wish to labour the point, but you seem to have an incredibly short memory. I also struggle to remember any moment during Mancini's tenure when 442 was a problem for you. Hell you supported the abortion that was Mancini's version of 352.

Except it isn't an uniformed narrative. There is an informed narrative that we have an agreement with Pep for 2016. Some may feel this is a great idea, a bad idea or even an embarrassing idea but it's not something fans are just irrationally 'making up'.

I think the common feeling is that you're talking shite
