and also this is because we have a clear set way of playing and a longish term project so the platform is there to blood the youngsters whereas with Jose and Conte everything was short term and a mess which isn’t a good environment for young players to develop.He's only really been given these youngsters to work with by the board so great to see him blooding them in an important(ish) game.
It’s also so good for our young team’s development that we are in the EL and not CL this season, in a way it’s a blessing in disguise as Ange can rotate a lot of the team and still stand a good chance of getting a positive result which means lots of minutes spread out across the young squad to keep most players happy and match fit and sharp and to help them improve and develop.
If we were in the CL we’d have to play an almost full strength side twice each week which would knacker the squad out and reduce the development speed of the younger players.
