How many have we got now that are capable. Quite a few as it happens

Klopp doesn't trust your reserves because they're shite.

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.

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.

Neither are the ones currently playing your first team.
They’re shite.
Now fuck off scouse twat.

Bear in mind the standard required to make it at City is a lot higher than at Liverpool

 

[Greggery Peccary]

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?

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.

That’s subjective to say the least. Each to their own.

I assume you have 50 games at international level mate

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.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Guardiola has been at City seven months less than Klopp. In that time he has given debuts to many academy players. Admittedly only Foden and Garcia have made many appearances but they are all still teenagers and they are competing against genuine world class players.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

So when we've had the injuries, how did we cope?

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

You have three centre backs out. Every single club at any level expect injuries. How can so few out affect you so much? We have had far worse over a longer period. And in more competitions and over more games. And we win competitions
