Not often you win 4-1 and still shake your head at the manager. Its criminal the way he neglects youth

Are they not playing tomorrow

 

[super_city_si]

yes im nitpicking. His team selection was excellent. Just a shame to waste a perfect opportunity to give a young player some expericence

Got to disagree, it can be frustrating but we have 2 sets of first teamers. Failing to play fringe players or players battling for a first team spot will lead to bad morale and tension that the manager won't want which is what we had under Mancini in his final year.

It's a results business and he/we got a result.

Then why do our board and owners continue with the holistic shit if we ain't fucked about youth. Something has to give.

Are you for real?. Great team selection, great result and you still want to moan .

Come on, he brought on a 34 yr old who has played the last 3 or 4 games. I'm sure DeMichelis is man enough to not mind if he doesnt get 5 minutes v Hull

10 mins left. 3 nil up. Wants to bring Silva off.

On the bench you have a) Demichellis, a centre back who probably won't even be playing for us next season. Or b) Garcia, a Silva-esque youngster who could go on to play for us for over a decade if given minutes to assess him ability on the big stage.

What do you do?

As i've said on another thread. What benefit to the payer or team does 6 minutes give any of the youth players.
If Manuel thinks they can do the job required, they will get time. See Kelechi.

6 minutes first team action in a competitive game will give the youth player a huge boost. Lets face it, they're not likely to get any more time than that.
