Mourinho..... the advocate of youth prospects.....
In his and any managers defence its largely down to risk and reward.T`was Ideal for Poch,outside of champions league, so not so sketchy to pick mason,kane,townsend,bentaleb those early games,same with lampard and solsjkaer,not so much to lose with a transfer ban or being outside of top 4 and the money.Once we were in the top 4 club it became harder to pick KWP,skipp,tanganga etc because of the risk to losing CL status.It has been the same for Jose so far,but as the chances of top 4 diminish the risk to picking cirkin,skipp,parrott,tanganga reduces.
I dont like that most (even poch) arent brave enough to just let fly with more academy players,but their jobs are on the line because Levy has no hair cos its all in his trigger.In some ways its a natural cycle,be shit bring the youth in,get some status become too afraid to chance it with inexperience.And in fairness to Jose he gave yaniteds youth much more of a go than that clog wearing clown.
Since august I havent understood why skipp,parrott,tanganga in particular havent been involved more,not least because how could they have been worse in the match day squad than quite a few.
