  1. Could there have been a better game to give Pacheco some minutes? Something is clearly wrong. There must be some kind of conflict going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about and I feel we deserve an explanation.

  2. Well he was apparently punished for turning up late to training, combined with the fact that the coaching staff haven’t been convinced by his ability to string together consecutive good performances. They don’t rate him as a striker, possibly his lack of height, strength and pace a factor, and he’s being retrained as a wide player.

    All combined I think it shows that he’s simply not ready to slot into the first team. Let’s not forget that he’s only 19. Not every player needs to be in the first team while still in their teens, and seeming that Rafa also handed him limited opportunities, perhaps there is something missing in his game.
