If the young players can play, you simply play them. The myth about looking after them is bollox. When I was a young lad, I was so fit I could play every day. Yes, they can't perform every game, and they will have downtime, but which professional players play 100% every game? We had Greece, for example, destroy one team, then they take half the youth out, replace them with experience, and they get flogged. This is Farkes' problem; he persists with players even though others are better, and they get upset and he dumps them.
