Season is all but over for us to be fair and I think some of these fans just want to see some experimentation and use a couple of youth for remainder of the season. I must admit I'm a fair bit lost for enthusiasm after seeing that selection, and I'm with the seasons over start giving some experience to some youth crowd now. If Smith knows, not thinks he can take us to Europe then he better get his skates on and start us on a roll because I do not think he can do it now.

It’s not the end of the world and I think we’re all in agreement Ramsey and Davis aren’t world beaters but surely we could change it up and maybe even tweak the formation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 4 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Is this true? Like objectively factually true - or does it just feel true? I think one the big things to keep in mind with our young players is that they are just that - young - we had a poor period with our academy before NSWE arrived and it's left us with a gap - we don't have much in terms of players that are 20-21, we have a lot of really talented players that are 17 or just edging 18. It is true I posted the article a couple of weeks ago. We have the youngest starting XI but as I said one of the lowest minutes played by players aged 21 and under.

WooJung Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 1 minute ago, Delphinho123 said: No, I don’t see how it goes round in circles. I agree that our players aren’t world beaters and Everton are going to probably beat us regardless of what team we put out. What I don’t agree with is trying the same formation, same out of form players every week and hoping something will change. Heres a wacky idea. Play a 3-5-2 with Targett and Cash offering the width and play Watkins off Davis up top? But no, we couldn’t possibly try that, or maybe play a youngster, because we absolutely have to play 4-3-3 with two wingers that are below par every week. Fully agree, and on top of that I'd also add that another frustrating thing about the usual selections is that some players can apparently afford to be rubbish week in week out and still be undroppable.

I like Smith but his selection and use of players who have severely lacked in showing up in games like a petrol can poured down my throat is killing me now, you just might as well light the F***er up. This is why I question him on his reluctantness to change a knackered side and use youth here and there so first teamers can get some much needed breathing time. Bigger teams with mor eplayers will kill us now this second half a season because our battery went dead a while ago, the only option were to use Youth to recharge first team battery's.
