The fact that Pep decided to give youth a chance should also be praised, after predecessor, Manuel Pellegrini, managed to forget / ignore the fact that we have one of the most exciting academies in world football.
How do we know he decided either? I am a critic of Pellegrini at times, but the circumstances were different. Maybe he just didn't value taking such risks with young players as a manager who's job was to win games first develop player second as someone who is better at the former and not know as so great with the latter, so would rather play his best available team every game.
Does that mean he forgot or ignored them? Maybe he was playing to his strengths to reach the most important outcome. Trophies and relevancy so when
Pep comes we are still a top team.
