U19's Youth League (1500hrs)

[domalino]

I haven't been able to follow the academy results as closely this season but notice we are not doing particularly well. Is it due to injuries and playing a lot of younger lads this time around? Would expect Lyon and Hoffenheim to have some good youngsters but also would think City should be winning that group...

They literally don't want them to win any more.

“We have to remember this is a development phase,” says Marwood. “Winning is part of that, but so is losing.

“Manchester City are winning a large percentage of their games at academy level. That’s nice, but at times it means our players aren’t getting the feeling of having to fight for a result or having to respond to a loss.

“We believe the Premier League 2 environment is better served by testing our really young ones to their limits to see if they can cope.

“So, it really can’t be about the result. We have to see beyond three points.”
