Get a fecking grip. Prior to the PSG defeat we had actually won all our games bar one and the draw wasn't down to lack of youth in the team. Has that actually passed you by? The injuries occurred during the PSG game so no justification for Greenwood's inclusion on the bench ahead of senior players.His time will come and bear in mind he was marked out of the Youth Cup defeat what makes you think he'd have success against proven internationals in PSG?
As for Southampton and Palace, you write as if a win is a given!!! Two teams who are resurgent and one which has beaten City away, and drew with us at home.
This isn't the forum for Ole bashing
Wind your neck in and take a breath before you go on uncessary rants with invented claims.
- Our back up options have been poor (Lukaku central, Mata right) and the team has been weaker for it. We scraped a draw v Burnley, struggled at Newcastle, were able to coast with limited input against a poor Fulham and looked very poor 2nd half v PSG. There will be ganes where the margins are tight and having a sub or a rotation option capable of high performance, could be the difference
- PSG was not a game for Greenwood and Co due to the lack of playing time before. Cultivation is key and my criticism of OGS is the failure to offer starts or serious mins v Burnley and Fulham. They could have proven themselves as bench options for the PSG games and beyond, instead of us relying on the usual Plan B that many predicted would fail
- Saints and Palace are our relatively easy games this month, but remain a challenge. I agree that it is a risk playing youth, but so is playing a central Lukkaku and right sided Mata. At least with youth, there is a greater chance of something different happening, while there is nothing to suggest that the failed Plan B will be any different
- as for 'OGS bashing', you have gone of tangent. My only main criticism on OGS is persisting with the same failed selections, instead of giving youth an oppurtunity to succeed where they have failed. If you think that OGS should be beyond any criticism, then maybe you should create a thread for positive comments only
