Pep only naming 6 Subs surely is a huge lack of respect shown to an academy system that has been lauded,is chock full of talent and is now ignored when required?

This has divided opinion on a City board but as far as I'm concerned it's not baffling in the slightest. Of course we could have easily filled the 7th sub spot but it doesn’t make a jot of difference to the game because they wouldn’t have been used in any case. There isn’t anyone anywhere close enough to PL standard including in the U23s who played the night before. The team in that game were in the age range 16-18 and the older players, some of whom are closer to bridging the gap, are mainly on loan.
As Jonathan Liew said on Sunday Supplement this morning, he understands Gary Neville’s point on Sky yesterday but is there really any benefit to a 16 year old sitting on the bench for no purpose whatsoever like a competition winner? It’s a Premier League bench and not a make the Make-A-Wish foundation. Also, City’s youngsters can often integrate with the 1st team squad and benefit from Pep’s coaching first hand. Surely, that has to be a more valuable experience than sitting on a bench.
As for respecting the academy, local lad Nmecha (19) has just signed a new contract and was promoted to the 1st team squad last week. He would have been on the bench but had flu. Then let’s not forgot 18 year old Diaz came on as sub yesterday for the 3rd game in a row and another Academy player, Adarabioyo (20) was also on the bench.

The only thing baffling about it is people who think it shows a lack of respect.

seems like he was making a point about artistes being bullied by blunt thugs, and the winter fixture slog's affect on pretty football.
ie even the richest club in the world cant fill a bench under these conditions.
i'm a pep fan btw, but he can be as precious as the rest

Dear me, bring back 1 Sub if it was up to me but like Neville said "He can help out with drinks"
Why have 7 when u can only use 3???

Well that was fun. At the Airport ready for another European trip. Sergio has been written off by a lot of city fans lately, me included, that was just a masterclass of finishing and totally unplayable. Wondering what Gary Neville is thinking of our young sub bench now. Foden didn't look out of place when he came on. Kdb has to be a snap for a £50 mill reject from Chelsea. It seems there cast offs do perform once discarded by them.
