I believe Davies counts as homegrown. Cardiff is a part of the FA, and he was on their books for three years before turning 21. Eric Dier, on the other hand, is not. Grew up in Portugal.
Considering last years rigidity in terms of formations, I really like what Poch has done this season. Last season we mostly played 4231, and when it worked it was great. When it didn't it was dire to watch.
This season though, we have played a variety of systems. Tonight, especially in the...

I am glad we get our own proper stadium, but the process that led to West Ham getting the Olympic Stadium virtually rent free, and with most of their match day expenses covered by the tax payers money, has been a disgrace...
Re: Ade. I suppose that some clubs would like to present several signings at once as a statement of intent to fans and alike. Villa have two medicals today, Verout and Gestede, they might wait to announce Ade and present all three later today or tomorrow. But then again, I'm just guessing...
How are we not ahead? This Fiorentina side is by far the worst side we've faced this season! We must keep overloading the flanks, Walker needs to overlap more. If we can keep up the pressure, we must surely win tonight.
It doesn't matter which formation we play if we move the ball around as slowly as today... we lacked movement, the only player to make runs behind the opposition defense was Danny Rose... no one takes a man on, and with inverted wingers we become to narrow and so easy to defend against. I can...
Not taking the opposition in to consideration, most of the boys did well last night, and Vlad, Sandro and Kane in particular did better than I expected them to. Pochettino's high pressing system is rewarding for a fan to watch, not only when the opposition had the ball, but immediately when we...
