Editorial: The B-Team Myth
A week ago, Pep Guardiola called once again for the introduction of b-teams into the Football League.
Understand this, Pep: managerial cowardice among the top Premier League clubs is a far bigger factor than the lack of b-teams. You wouldn't even start Phil Foden against Burton Albion! A midfield of Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and David Silva? Two World Cup winners against Burton Albion! No wonder Sancho left. No wonder Hudson-Odoi is trying to escape Chelsea. You are the problem, not the lack of b-teams.
