Sorry, I wasn't meant to sound defensive, it's just there's a **** load of LFC negativity and pessimism on here at the moment.

I took your question as a knock against our academy, but I haven't seen that many come through theirs either. One second the fans are almost demanding that we win the league this season, the next we're questioning why we haven't brought players through. The answer's in the first part part of that sentence, we haven't got the time to bed them in these days.

No, this was just on the basis of an article I was reading about Man Citeh and the takeover. It mentioned the number of players that were being produced by their academy, Richards, SWP, Johnson and Ireland. Carra also mentioned the need for producing local players in his book too, which got me thinking.

This wasn't aimed at Rafa in anyway!

Whatever the reason, I agree with you entirely... but it wont happen with us as there's too much pressure to deliver. I say, bring back the boot room, pass and move and umpteen Irish & Scottish players ready to die for the cause

It's a mystery why Arsenal aren't bringing more robots, I mean players through their system.
