You don’t just stick the young lads in, expecting them to do something. Many want them to start but the reality is that most will get kicked off the field, especially against some of the cloggers out there tonight.Poor game. The only thing I don’t like is losing the winning run. Other than that his selection was pretty much as expected. RB were disciplined. We were 20% down on what we could expect. Lots of individual errors too. Those clamouring for the youngsters haven’t been watching them recently.
It’s okay I’ve read the reply you made to another poster just above mine, I now get it you’re a bloody idiot:-)Just discussing. Sorry you don’t agree with my view. Maybe try another forum?
Okay so why did you then say there were plenty players that didn’t need extra game time when you are saying 2-3The game meant nothing. Starting say Egan Riley at right back wouldn’t have been the worst decision as Walker plays most games and again the game meant nothing.
We played a strong first 11, who looked like they couldn’t care less. I’d rather have lost with a couple of younger players (maybe 2 or 3)
It’s not outrage it’s disappointment . Don’t really care about the result
Foden was another one just coming back from injury, why start him when he wasn’t apparently right?
Yes I’m sure that’s uppermost in his mind.no one is arguing how good he has been for city, just that he is pig headed at times. CL final last year a good example and here today, such a good opportunity to introduce the younger players - they are good enough to play so its not like our team would be severely weakened. think he does it sometimes knowing it will pi#s the fans off
I thought this was a thread about the game against Leipzig not about the success we've enjoyed since Pep arrived.Check the number of trophies won under Pep. Then, if that looks like a meagre return for the teams he plays, list the coaches who’d have done better. If you’re struggling, pop a letter in the post and tell Pep why you’re not happy with the endless pots he’s won for us and explain how he’s got it all wrong and should be playing the kids. Then, in six months’ time, pull down your undies and see if you’ve grown a pair. Send the pics to Pep. He’ll be busy polishing trophies mind whilst you search frantically for your ball bag.
Perhaps try playing him in his correct position. Just a thought.Awful! Walker WTF. If Grealish is worth £100m I'm a Dutchman. He's worse than Sterling. That ref should stick to teaching and not PE.
Yes I’m sure that’s uppermost in his mind.
Yes,but the group was won no need.Because he’s a winner. It’s why Aguero played (and scored) at Burton when we were NINE nil up. It’s the reason we’ve won pot after pot after pot. He’s not interested in resting half the squad so some kids get half a game. Go Strong. Play the best players. Leave the kids until they’re ready. Trophies. Wins. Pep. The winning formula.
Maybe, but that’s a forum: idiocy, splenetic posts, decorum (occasionally) and outright bollocks. I think Pep picked a great team, the right team, but the team played poorly. He’s an absolute winner with no time for romance and I love that; it’s why we’ve hoovered up so many league cups. Pick the kids? Fuck that. Win silverware? Yes please. Winning is a habit. He knows it, the team know it. Let’s leave picking the team to the man that knows.It’s okay I’ve read the reply you made to another poster just above mine, I now get it you’re a bloody idiot:-)
We were nine nil up and he played Aguero. He loves winning.Yes,but the group was won no need.
