do we really think Pellegrini will about-face and give some kids (Denayer, Nacho, Zuculini, Lopes, etc) meaningful match time barring injury and/or suspension? and im not just talking about the first handful of cup matches. the guy is out of his contract at the end of the season so he's fighting to impress, whether its our board or some other club's. plus, he obviously wants to win (and entertain the crowd with goals) and it seems like most managers believe that raw kids will cost them points and then, potentially, their job.
i don't think he's got the stones to start Nacho and/or Denayer vs the Baggies despite Dzeko's head being turned (if he's still here at that point), Aguero not being fit, and Bony sorely lacking match time and Kompany looking like shit and MDM not deemed ready yet either.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.
