No one's said that...have they? I can't believe anyone buys that as he's the most universally rated young player we have.

anyone saying that is just trolling, personally his ceiling is higher then anyone on this team

I was looking at this yestrerday.

11/12 - 25 senior players 8 youth Apps
12/13 - 25 8

13/14 - 23 5
14/15 - 22 4
15/16 - 22 51 (35 Kelechi, 8 in the FA Cup game)

16/17 - 23 17 (46 if you still include Kelechi at this point)
17/18 - 20(?)

Mancini with a full 25 man squad played 2x as much as Pellegrini with 22 players, and when Pep had the same 23 man squad as Pellegrini he played the kids 3x as much.

I think it's a case of "If you don't want to use kids, you won't", whether that's with a 20 man squad or 25

This needs to be posted everywhere. Way to many City fans keep lumping Pep in with the past when he's one of the top coaches at big clubs to incorporate youth in his teams.

I kid you not, they know who they are and it's easily researched.... I won't name names though, just that they should stick to ice hockey and riding mongoose through Nova Scotia (:

Would these people be ones that watched games last year? We have some stupid fans, I guess that's how they ended up as blues in the dark days, as I've often asked myself was I stupid back then lol.

It's the FIFA generation, moneyball shite..

Watch a game up close and personal and the game comes alive... those who have to rely on stats are unable to sense real talent and invariably suffer from self doubt..

Rick Holden completed more dribbles than any other player in one season, did this make him puskas??
