KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Mansfield on Sunday... Who to play?

og course the youth is important but it cannot compromise first team games not ever. but maybe that was not was being said?

sorry mate but those games mean nothing who saying sack them only you but they are meaningless games the first team squad is first and foremost and if players get called up then the reserve or youth game gets swerved.

Yes, but some are suggesting that the nextgen game should affect the players we can choose for the senior games, which is just nonsense.

You think underage level games and trophies don't matter? You're wrong there. Gaining a winning mentality at a young age is valuable for mental strength and confidence. It can be carried forward throughout a career, as has been shown many times in the past.

Obviously there's no comparison when it comes to a matter of a serious choice between the two, but who are we actually talking about?! Conor Coady??!

bar the reality is its doesnt matter , the youth and reserves could win as many games and cups as they like , but if the first team struggle then try telling me its important then .

Of course there's no comparison between the two, but you can't just say that it doesn't matter at all. Of course it does! As I said, if it comes down to an actually choice of a particular player being available for both teams, there's no doubt in anyone's mind that the first team takes precedence, but is that actually the case here?? What players? Coady? Wisdom? Wisdom is first team now, and especially since José's injury, he's important, so f*ck the NextGen as far as he's concerned, but Conor Coady hasn't been part of the first team picture lately, so I'd rather see him playing against Inter than being put into the side in an FA Cup 3rd round tie.

Bar reserve team football is no better than a good saturday semi -pro league IE teams like waterloo dock that sort level an d thats why it very rearly gets used for first team players fitness .

I think you're missing the picture faz... And we're not even talking about reserves, we're talking about the NextGen.

same mate yes all very good for those involved and very nice if they do well , but facts speak theres young morgan star of the nextgen loaned out instead of being in the first team squad , and liverpool just buy a striker maybe two thats why i say its meaningless , ok wisdom,sterling ,suso came through but if liverpool were flying they wouldnt get a sniff only possibly sterling.
