Never doubt Pep

Most of these went to lower league clubs, other inferior leagues around the world or aren’t even in football anymore. And the few who may have had a very slim chance to be good enough had excellent players ahead of them in their position.

Why would we blood future League 1 and MLS players, and future taxi drivers and factory workers, into our first team when we try and win every single trophy we play in?

That group of lads who played against Wycombe were in the team because they aren’t like any of those names listed above, they are like Foden, simply worthy of being in the team because they are good enough.
You've done a fair bit of research to compile that list. You are right, the only player to have been of a high enough standard for our first team is Foden. Looking through that list there are very few playing in teams in the top European leagues and none regularly winning silverware.
 
What a man - what a manager. WOW we are very, very lucky to have him with us. It has got to him what many of us got when first coming onto the scene in our great club a really, really special feeling in admiration or adversity that is UNIQUE.

We dont want to be rags or dippers no sir. Plastic we aint or perfect either but we are part of something very special !
