How many have we got now that are capable. Quite a few as it happens
That must be why he’s played kids throughout his tenure. Some of them have league & CL medals too. Doesn’t sound like a trust issue there.Klopp doesn't trust your reserves because they're shite.
Neither are the ones currently playing your first team.I largely agree with the second sentence. But how many of them have played against top tier CL opposition where the gaffer’s picked them on merit rather than because of injuries? I know they’re only teenagers who’ve got their whole careers ahead of them but they’re nowhere near the first team set up properly.
This is my point - whilst the kids have to get into one of the most expensively assembled squads in the game which is a major burden, why haven’t the club drawn more on them? Before the City Bingo firm muscle in, I couldn’t give two fucks how much money you have or haven’t spent and it’s not my point. But for the young lads looking in on the first team set up, they must wonder what they have to do. They’ll probably go on and have good careers elsewhere but that’s not the issue here. It must be harder given how good Foden is but not everyone will be as good as that at that age.Not many kids are capable of getting regular first team places at City with the players we have now, but who have you got in your academy, or do you want me to tell you that as well?
That’s subjective to say the least. Each to their own.Bear in mind the standard required to make it at City is a lot higher than at Liverpool
I’ve played at a half decent level although only kids coaching. The only reason I asked was because anyone who’s played football knows you can only have square pegs in round holes for so long.I assume you have 50 games at international level mate
