…. but once more you pivot your argument and assign what you would like to argue against to others.

Not a youngster as didn’t quite make his debut until he was just 20 but currently we have four players who gwt regular game time in Meslier, Shackleton, Struijjk and Robert’s so the idea Bielsa doesn’t promote young players is nonsense.

A lot of the others will come through and get time but he also has to manage the senior players too.

Summerville looks like getting games and Cresswell too - that makes 6 whixh is a pretty decent number irrespective of what you think of the incumbents in the team.

I am sure Joffy will blow the hinges off the door and force his way in too.

I would much rather be in the Prem with Bielsa and the gaps and flaws we have than be stuck in the EFL with Monk or Heckingbottom.
Not typos, mistakes. Pay attention to detail and you make fewer mistakes (says it all really). Haven't change my argument one iota, whatever use Bielsa makes of those few who do get an "opportunity" is forced on him by injury or suspension. That hasn't changed one bit since his first days at the club to the present day, exemplified by his preference for the likes of Roberts to Summerville when substitution was forced by Raphinas injury.

I genuinely hope those who were forced on Bielsa as a result of current injuries remain as 1st team participants, they deserve it (including Gelhardt (where the f00k did "Joffy" come from????)). But please don't credit Bielsa with "giving" these or the majority of those you name with a "debut". Given the choice he would still have Casilla in goal and Costa and Roberts as starters.
