Not Edwards as he's injured, but certainly one of the youngsters.Could have had Edwards on the bench instead of Trippier and given him 15 minutes today

Tbf edwards, as already stated, is injured but poch didn't even give KWP minutes and we were 3-0 up before the 60 minute mark. He could have played for half an hour. What was the point of putting sissoko on at the end? Lamela and wanyama are coming back from injury so match time is important for them, but sissoko has had plenty of game time recently, his inclusion was unnecessary. (Yes, I'm aware that kwp played against wimbledon but we could have given serge a rest at the end after running about all game.)Could have had Edwards on the bench instead of Trippier and given him 15 minutes today
there's no point moaning about it, we all know the score. until these players have gone through the pochettino integration process and have managed to convince him that they're unequivocally 100% ready despite no previous first team experience then we're just not going to see them.
To be fair to AVB he did give opportunities to Caulker and Tom Carroll. In terms of handing out first team debuts and then following that up with trust in subsequent games, AVB has been as good as Poch probably. He even gave Kane some opportunities on the fringe in the League Cup and the Europa League before Sherwood arrived.I was reading some old posts in 2015, and saw AVB described as anti-youth after 2 seasons here, so it was expected for him not to bring anyone through, but Poch was described as pro-youth in 2015 and therefore he knew what he was doing. But he has basically done as badly as AVB over double the period. It's mad but part of me is still hopeful that our best might get a chance.
It's good, players like Pritch and Milos have still found their way to the Top leagues and players like Oteh do well, then it will still set a good example that coming to us will get a good education. But I would do what players are starting to do at Chelsea and get the education maybe sign a pro then leave and look for other clubs and get my career started.
Breezer I believeI thought Edwards had a personal issue not injured. Can’t remember who said that.
If anyone's interested Sancho started for BVB tonight half-time now 0-0. They also have an 18 year old at CF. Isak is his name from Holland I think.

With Poch, the only ones that really stand out for me are Winks and Mason. Kane is perhaps borderline because as I said he was already a part of the team under Sherwood.

Yet for the past few years we’ve played with some of the youngest starting X1 in the league.
I was watching, he started off really well, but then seemed to tire near the end. Unfortunate he hit the post
