Since when did 3 equal half? And remind me, how have those same players been getting on in the EFL Trophy against lower league teams?

We lost from Wigan, we shouldn't be complacent.

Harwood, Garcia, Doyle, Bernabe, Braaf, Poveda + Foden, that's 7 U19 players, 3 of them 18 y.o., 2 17 y.o.
 
Bravo
Cancelo
Garcia
Otamendi
Zinchenko
Gundogan
Foden
Doyle
Bernardo
Mahrez
Jesus

Although I don't think Doyle will play but I'd like to think even moreso that Rodri and Dinho won't.

And we beat Southampton 3-1 with three teenagers in the team. I’m not sure why the Wigan result from 2 years ago is at all relevant here.

We played Southampton at home and after they lost 9:0 the previous game and feared another drubbing.

If you can't see why the Wigan loss is relevant I can't help you.

Why would you want to risk our luague cup run, given we are out of the title challenge. As things stand, the cup games are no less important than the league ones. We lost from Wigan, we can lose from Oxford if we don't take the game seriously enough. You want to play half the team that failed at U19 level.

Maybe you misread but I'm suggesting three youth players, not half a team. THB and Garcia looked completely fine last time as well.
