That's not even close to being the same since they all were in their twenties with loads of first teams experience when he arrived there apart from Foden.If there good enough (Foden) they'll get in. If they're not, they won't. Nobody is owed a start, we're not that City anymore thank god.
If its all the same to you I'll put my faith in the manager who has nurtured 100s of careers, including Xavi, Messi, Sterling, Foden,and Iniesta to name a random 5.
Tell the truth, if he had played 3 or 4 kids tonight you'd be arguing he needed to get minutes into Sergio's legs ahead of the Derby wpuldnt you?
You always know a city manager is doing a good job when bluemoon turns on him after a very impressive win.
We had two unused subs, did Bernardo and Fernandinho really need to play 90 mins? Couldn't he take them off after 80mins to show some respect and encouragement to Palmer who has had a great season and didn't play for the EDS yesterday?
