Lets give Academy kids a chance for remainder of PL fixtures.

Good oppurtunity to give Doyle, Bernable, Palmer, Nmecha and Delap a taste of first team action. No point in playing on Mendy or Aguero (Apart from the last fixture at Etihad). Only one full time academy graduate in Pep 5 year tenure (Foden). That number needs to increase.

There's still a CL final to play. I suspect that the focus will be on keeping the squad as a whole fresh and happy before prioritising the kids.

FUCK. THAT

Doyle needs a couple of games. He's barely played all season and he's supposed to be as much a part of the squad as the rest of them.

It would be really smart to give anyone who might get loaned out next year a platform to attract some attention as well.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

16 players can potentially play in the CL final, and we might need to bring in Aguero or Sterling to get a goal or Mendy to cover because Zinchenko gets injured or who knows what. The senior players who are out of form will, except maybe one or two, need to come back into the team. Now is the time to build the confidence, keep players match fit, and get every squad player ready for one of the biggest matches of the career. I like the sentiment of bringing in youth, and I hope we start to fold players in, but that will be for early league cup matches next year. No messing about now in these three games.

I'd honestly be surprised if any of them get a game. On Friday when we next play it's basically two weeks until the CL final. I reckon Pep won't want any of them to feel like they can switch off at all. I personally expect just sides constantly rotated with half starters/half backups.

I agree,we may see a couple on the bench but i don't expect many minutes.

Doyle and Delap are the obvious two.

Two, Eric Garcia.

Regardless of what people may think of him he still counts as a full member of the 1st team squad.

The only 2 that have a realistic chance of minutes are Doyle and Palmer.

Pep will give Kun the opportunity to break Rooney's record, despite his penalty miss.

They'll get chances versus Brighton, full strength other 2 games to keep match sharpness
