Are c'mon lads can't we all just play nice? Were all reds togever so let's just agree to disagree..... Yeah?
There is a difference between playing young players every game and gradually introducing them for some experience each game. Sterling made an impact as soon as he came on and I think Shelvey at least should be given more game time with Henderson struggling.
we look at 9 games now were we got nothing to play for in the league, this would be a great opportunity to introduce our young players, can't remember as my memory is dodgy or what league or what manager, but there season had virtually finished as the only had a handful of games, the manager got rid of all the senior players & played all the youth players to end of the season, than a couple of years they saw the benefit again can't remember who it was.
Kenny didn't seem to have a problem playing the youth when he first came back, but I think that was out of necessity given the dire football we were playing and the lift it obviously gave us. In that respect I dont think he was under much pressure.
This season he's under pressure because he's brought in his own players and it seems to me that he's sticking with them to the bitter end. Admirable to a degree, but I think he needs to mix and match and use the youth more, but at the right time.
Bringing the kids on to play in a struggling side with the crowd on the backs of the players will only have a negative effect (unless we've got another Messi on our hands)
Moes managed Shrek excellentl IMO. He didnt start games for a while but even when he did he was never overplayed.
Worrying comments re Sterling though.....or is he putting him in the squad so he doesnt go in the summer, and not letting on that this is the case? Time will tell I suppose, see if hes in the squad for Newcastle
Again, it is getting to a point where I don't care what is said in the press anymore. Actions speak louder than words. Said this during Roy's time here as well. So I'm obviously not exactly enthused about all the excuses and stuff coming out. Let the actions on the pitch speak for themselves is what I reckon.
Also his comments about changing are style of play and not playing good football is also very worrying TBH. Because if KK thinks we played good on saturday he needs to wake up seriously are play was tripe at times and especially in the 2nd half were like Stoke at times
Im not Saying Sterling is as good as those. What im saying is even if we had a player as good as those at 17etc He wouldnt give them a chance. Although i dont think we have anyone of that ability in our ranks, i firmly believe we have players as good as Chamberlain at Arsenal ATM, i really believ that. I honestly think McLaughlin, Robinson, Suso, Sterling and Jack Dunn could be part of are Squad long term, while Flanagan, Adorjan and Ibe have a chance as well
I assume you meant to say "aren't"? And if that is the case, yes I know. It worries me. It could really just be simply the poor luck we had at the start of the season and then it being compounded when we finally had a bad patch and the players being mentally unsettled. It could also be down to winning a Cup and then letting their foot off the gas. However, the issue is why don't they play well in the league. Cup games need no introduction or little motivation, motivation is required for the league. Quite simply, we have not trained the minds of our players, for some years now, to be mentally and physically ready to do well consistently across the whole season.
