u18 v Newcastle

I can’t be the only one who’s not impressed by stuff like this and last night? If you’re destroying people at this level it just means kids are playing below their level.

Palmer, McAtee and Delap shouldn’t be beating u23 teams 8-0 they should be with the first team, and the best u18s should have played in their place and the best u16s should be playing Newcastle for the u18s.

The titles were already decided as well, so there’s no tangible benefit to beating someone clearly nowhere near as good as you 13-0 l.

They drew 2-2 with this side early on this season. They're all basically first years too. It's a very young side. Unless you promote all the EDS to the first team so you can move the 18s up to the EDS, what's the solution right now this second? They don't win like this every week either, obviously.
 
But we do play all of the players up a level already, we'd end up playing the 12 year olds at U23 level at this rate.

Sorry but that’s bollocks.

Borges, O’Reiley, Breckin, Mebude and Adam are not playing up a level, they’re all u18s (ie they have already or will turn 18 this season) playing at u18 level.

Thats 9 of the 13 goals right there.

Also…even if it were true then it doesn’t matter. Reece James and Hudson-Odoi were playing u23 football at 16. So were Foden and Brahim occasionally.

Exactly. I just believe things clicked today. You get this type of thing once in a blue moon. A shedload of the lads are really young as well.

Tbh if sounds a lot like your problem falls squarely at Pep's feet. It's his call to free up EDS space basically. He doesn't.

They drew 2-2 with A Newcastle side, but not this one, only 3 players from the Newcastle 11 that drew 2-2 started today.

Yeah obviously he’s largely responsible but if Foden wasn’t getting picked should he still get u23 games? Or would the EDS coaches not bother because it wouldn’t help anyone?

And there should also be someone at the club who can say to Guardiola that he either has to use these players or loan them.
