We have most young prospects in Europe. Zouma 4th, 13 is Musonda and 14 is RLC, but theres TONS of our youngsters in that list.

BUT we will NEVER use them

Out of the three youth players brought into the squad full time, this are the games they have got.

Kenedy starts against Walsall and Norwich, comes on vs Palace, Everton, Stoke, Liverpool and Porto, decent amount of exposure for a 19 year old who has just arrived in Europe.

RLC starts against Maccabi, Aston Villa and Walsall and comes off the bench against Villa, could be better but considering before this season Ruben has only featured in one game where something was riding on the result (and that was for 30 seconds) could have been a lot worse.

Traore is the big disappointment so far, should have got more than two sub appearances.

So in terms of how Jose has managed the youth players this season I'd give Kenedy a 8, Ruben a 6 and Traore a 3, so on average a solid 6/10.
