The alternative is leaving the competition as it was. There was no need to expand it for youth teams. It doesn’t bring bigger crowds either, quite the opposite, average attendances were significantly down last season in the competition.I don't have a problem with this. The likes of United's u21s bring big gates to the clubs they face regardless, its good experience for the young lads, and I doubt they'll win the thing anyway.
is the alternative non-league teams playing in the 'English Football League' trophy or something else?
They don't. They're classed as u23 performances but in a class of their own. If you look at Hudson Odoi stats you can see how they are recorded.I know its u21s but in a competition like this against professional league teams do appearances and goals count as first team stats ?
I assume you are not being serious - but this is exactly the problem with the competition.We should treat it as a real trophy and use all of our eligible players (likes of Dalot, Rashford, Lingard and Wan-Bissaka) in the latter stages of the competition.
How is that the problem when not a single club has done that. Especially as most of those players aren't even eligible to play anyway.I assume you are not being serious - but this is exactly the problem with the competition.
Presumably all of them are eligible except Lingard which already noted? U23? Or am iHow is that the problem when not a single club has done that. Especially as most of those players aren't even eligible to play anyway.
That was the league cupMan City went out and smashed Burton 9-0 or whatever it was.
Correct. My mistake. Doesn’t void my other points.That was the league cup
