Can't imagine he has problems with young players tbh. He's managed various young age groups with Spain and wonb the Euros with two of them. And his first coaching job at a club was with Castilla (Real Madrid's B team) which is where they basically put their young kids to get experience of real football.

Not sure we should take any notice of all the crap there is out there at the moment. I reckon we'll all have the chance to judge Lopetegui soon enough and, no doubt, the moment we have our first back to back defeats the rumbles of discontent will start.
True enough, but the difference with your examples given is the fact he had no choice but to play kids in the U21’s and B team did he
That's true. But I doubt if he'd have been given the gigs if there were suggestions that he didn't trust, or have an ability to deaL with, young polayers.

I've just got a very healthy mistrust of a lot of these webcasters who, frankly, just seem to make stuff up for the sake of sensationalism and driving up "clicks" and consequently revenue. Not to mention encouraging people to part with their hard earned to wsubscribe to the "patreon" sites. I find Geo's offerings to be amonh the best, normally very balanced opinions, and Gonzo's at the complete other end of the spectrum---utter gash.

For the more factual stuff I reckon the West Ham Network is probably the best and I've got a lot of time for Nick and his West Ham TV channel, particularly since hearing him on talk sport discussing the Moyes issue.

Guess we'll have to wait and see about Lopetegui.

£7 million for falling over, kicking his own players and finally doing his best John Terry impersonation at his final game.
Fancy calling your only son "Barnestoneworth"

Might be the angle or whatever it is camera folk call it but he looks like he's put some beef on. I honestly thought he was the scouse actor from Red Dwarf at first glance.
Just like my dreams they fade and die.
But on the positive side..............

I have even less trust, but sometimes it might be worth putting it out there when ya hear something.

I hear Loppy is as bad as Moyes when it comes to using yoof players
Hope Loppy will be an upgrade to Moyes but it will takes times as Moyes damaged the squad and need at least 3 windows to fix it.
The KUMBSTAINS are on the march already ..
Like the collective cowards they are.

if I could BURN any building ..
KUMB -TOWERS would run a VERY close second to a
rather large MUZZIE HQ IN WEST LONDON
