don't really care about the motive, they played, whilst we put doubts in our kids minds because they don't even get thrown a freebie as an opportunity to prove themselves in-game.

Spot on,Ragnick made the right call.

Oh yeah I agree, Pep was fucking infuriating on Tuesday night

Can I ask all of the posters who keep stating what the youth players are thinking, how many of them have you actually spoken to? Can you name names?

Every season is the same. Same posters getting upset because we don’t give 2 minute cameos out same posters using it as a stick to tell us how Pep is shite with the kids etc. They seem to take it personally for some reason.
I’m pretty sure when Pep eventually goes he will go with a first team squad of at least 5/6 homegrown cemented in there with 2/3 regular starters. Some won’t be happy until it’s 8/9 though the way they bang on about it.

Christ alive, imagine looking at that bloated carcass down the road and licking your lips in anticipation simply because you can see the maggots moving.

Superb.

If we're talking about the rags, you could throw some kids in willy nilly. If we're talking about City, the quality and perfection of football required makes it more difficult.

I've said this before, i love Pep, i would give him a 10 year contract today. He's the best there is but he should have gave the academy lads some meaningful minutes, end of. It's neglectful of him not to imo. At our level you will only get a couple of chances to do it with no risk. Tuesday was one of them.

Not when we are playing a dead rubber with a half arsed first team anyway

Just so people know.

You can whine about Pep not playing youth and not be part of the "Pep Out" brigade like myself and many others.

Pep isn't infallible, he doesn't make the best decisions everytime. If we can't moan about that on this forum (respecfully) then I think you eliminate 50% of what people use forums for (complaining about decisions).

It's got nothing to do with whether you think Pep is a genius or not, it was a chance to let young players prove what they can do, in a match against good opposition where the outcome doesn't matter, and we didnt give them that chance, and that's crap.
