Give the young lads a run?

[Tipp blue]

Dibling, Armstrong, Aznou and now George... The older more experienced players dont look like they are bothered making a push for Europe, We are not going to get relegated and continue the way we are we wont get Europe either, so send out the young lads and see what we have.

….what a nonsense.

Last weekend 10 Under 20 year olds appeared in the PL out of 302 players used in total

Armstrong (Everton) 80 mins
Dibling (Everton) 10 mins
Byfield (Spurs) 1 min
Kostoulus (Brighton) 20 mins
Mane (Wolves) 90 mins
Lima (Wolves) 1 min
Hato (Chelsea) 45 mins
Kroupi (Bournemouth) 68 mins
Gray (Spurs) 90 mins
Rayan (Bournemouth) 22 mins

3.31& of players playing in the PL last weekend were teenagers (2 of them playing for us by the way.
If you put it down to minutes earned, its only 2.15% of minutes available (excluding stoppage time) were given to teenagers

In such a physical league that is based on athleticism and set pieces, it isn't a place to just throw 4 19 year olds straight into the team. Its £3m a place and the coaches have reputations to protect as they all know they are roughly in there jobs for 18 months -3 years if lucky

Also why should they be given a chance over someone that might possibly work harder than them in training purely based on the year they were born, part of learning at that age is working for something showing patience and realizing everything doesn't just get given to you.

Balancing act i think mate but if Europe goes missing, I'd certainly be all for giving them a run.

Remember that Norwich game last of the season when we played Dowell and Kenny etc. and won 3-0, ah good times

It's heading that way, Home to Wolves and Leeds and away to Brighton, 3 points.. A team serious about Europe should be taking minimum of 7 points.. That's 4 points dropped which would put us right in the mix for Champions league instead a gap has begun to appear.

2 points from Europe though.

Moyes said a while back he just hopes to he in contention around March. I think we will be.

I’d probably push back on the not looking bothered bit but yes ideally we’d use some of this season as a development runway for the future. That would in a perfect world include developing tactically but this manager will not be doing that for sure.

 

[Amokachi1995]

I'd like us to use the rest of this season to establish next seasons midfield 3 and centre backs. I.e. reducing the roles of Gana and Keane.
