First problem is having Walker in 3/4. He will not be used this much.
I agree. But this would be in games where you expect to be able to attack, a lot. The strength of the attacking midfield is to dominate possession in the attacking areas. Walker's pace provides the cover for the odd counter and for the wide attacking midfielders to supplement the centre mid when the ball is turned over.First problem is having Walker in 3/4.

Expect and want are not the same.You’re in for a season of frustration if you expect to see much of any of these formations— for a (many) reason(s)
I want us to give more opportunities to the best academy players. I hope it will happen. I am not certain that it will.

Still means keeping some around on the off chance they need something to fall there way to even see the bench, never mind the pitch. A total waste of kids at 18-21 for me, when they could find 20-30 starts elsewhere.Suggested line-ups - ideas, not to be forensically analysed as all manner of things can play a part - injuries, illness, progress, performance.
Keep 2, loan 2. Keep the squad about 20 deep. Bobb can still rotate into the EDS for games he doesn't make, he wont lose much still being the 'inbetween' player. Think is just too many (Gomez,Palmer, Perrone, Bobb & McAtee) to shuffle as it stands.

They will be given the opportunities Pep sees fit. They will not be favored (and risked) for being Academy productsExpect and want are not the same.

Could also argue there'd be less counters if someone better on the ball was playing over walker. He'll go through stretches this season where he's on the game sheet for a while consecutively, and then vice-versa.I agree. But this would be in games where you expect to be able to attack, a lot.

You are stating the obvious there. There is nothing to suggest that any new buy would be more productive than the academy players, certainly not Olise or Doku, and nothing to suggest that is true either.They will be given the opportunities Pep sees fit.

Gus, I think you misunderstood me.I would argue otherwise
Without giving the academy players a chance, we cannot say either way.

Pep can however say from what he will have seen.Gus, I think you misunderstood me.

I'm all for promoting academy players ( especially like the look of MacAtee) but IF Pep does sign a new player like Olise or Doku it means he doesn't believe they are ready.
Palmer looks a world beater in the,EDS but he hasn't managed the step up yet...he may well do but his performances so far in the first team suggest there is a way to go
