Big clubs having no players
Good to see City have a number 79, 87, 90 and 97 on the bench but these big clubs don’t have any players apparently..

Re: Big clubs having no players
Their academies are mainly for selling the players they produce to create revenue and enable them to meet FFP rules if possible, unless you're City and then you just go to court over it.
Bit silly to expect them to use said players for the first team when they're short of players.

Re: Big clubs having no players
Look, EPL. We are now down to a bare-bones bench made up from players in the 50 million pound bracket. This just won't do, and we want the game off!

Re: Big clubs having no players
To be fair to City, they haven't had any games called off due to COVID.
Rightly so due to their squad size, but they haven't done the dirty tricks like other clubs, moaned a lot yes, but played the games.

Arsenal have just let two of their first team squad go out on loan as well. Now they're moaning they haven't got enough players.

How many games have Man City cried victim to the PL and had games scrapped? 0GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 12:52 pmTheir academies are mainly for selling the players they produce to create revenue and enable them to meet FFP rules if possible, unless you're City and then you just go to court over it.

Are they short on first team players? quite clearly that's why they've got youth teamers filling the bench.
Why should Burnley be allowed to postpone games and not forced to use their academy players but City should be forced to use theirs?
You can't have it both ways, fair enough if you're happy with Burnley being forced to use youth team players against Watford midweek.

Re: Big clubs having no players
Triggered much?
I just picked City, untwist your knickers before you cut off the blood supply to your important parts.
I wouldn't care if we used our U-23's, would make a nice change to actually see what they can do instead of never being seen again when they get sent there, which is usually what happens.

Re: Big clubs having no players
Why should Manchester United have been allowed to postpone their fixture at Brentford, scheduled to have been played on 18 December 2021, having reported a small number of Covid cases? They were not forced to use academy players.
Please, let's compare like with like.

'Where a club cannot field 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper either from its squad list or its appropriately experienced Under-21 players, the match will be postponed.'

Re: Big clubs having no players
Surely they have to bring a rule in next season that if any player who is on loan playing first team football has to be recalled immediately to play for his parent club to prevent this farcical situation again..

Re: Big clubs having no players
Don’t all premier league clubs have 25 to pick from regardless of how many players they have contracted to them?

Re: Big clubs having no players
That appropriately experienced part is very strange, almost like a get out of jail free card so clubs don't have to use their U-21 players.Hipper wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:19 pm'Where a club cannot field 13 outfield players and a goalkeeper either from its squad list or its appropriately experienced Under-21 players, the match will be postponed.'
