Pozo got shit on. If he plays, imo he should play doing what he's good at, or at least get the chance to redeem himself by playing in his natural role rather than just making a cunt of himself vs Jagielka. BUT perhaps the whole thing is to put him through it & see if he comes out the other side, which perhaps he is. I don't know.
But I totally agree about the nerves thing. That us why I would have had as many as possible getting on the pitch this season. First they are likely to shit their pants, then when that stops, they start playing football. So get them shitting as soon as.
But in the case of Denayer, I'm pretty sure he will get tested with the first team pre season. Then they will decide whether to use him or loan him. BUT again, he can leave if he wants. We have to prove to him, we are the right club.
I think its criminal when a manager plays one of these youngsters out of posiiton.....first of all they should slot in as they know and afterwoods with some confidence can they take over another position.
Anyway , lets bring this conv back up in the summer.
as a coach you play players out of position as a matter of course to educate the players and help their growth.
Mr Bale has done alright as a left back at southampton
left mid at tottingham
right mid as Real Madrid
You should never play them out of position when they get their big chance.....never.
