I disagree. Abraham to my eyes excelled at Villa in the Championship last season, he deserved being played at CF for chavs (albeit we are well aware of the circumstances re their ban). He got off to a flyer early part of the season but it was clear that his game was very one dimensional, nothing overly concerning at this stage in his development but he IMO has been sussed out by the oppo, teams did it to Kane and Dele early on and they were often doubled up on or CB's got really tight to Kane but Kane developed and learnt how to role is man. Loads of other examples. Mount has loads of energy and presses like a demon but aside from odd flashes of good No 10 play, his decision making is poor (as you would expect), his decision to shoot against Liverpool in the 2nd half rather than lay the ball off to Pedro(??) the other night was a classic.
Martinelli for Woolwich is just going through a dip and Willock, Chambers, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Nelson are all struggling in every game they play.
Look at the Utd young kids, with the exception of Greenwood I don't think any of them have individually excelled but they are gaining in confidence as a team and as a collective, there is a nucleus of a team there.
The thing they are not ready at that age, no one is, every game is a lesson.
I think Tanganga hasn't put in a better performance than his first game for us, the last couple actually haven't been at all good performances (I know he's been played out of position which doesn't help him immediately but it certainly does long term, welcome to club football) but we should stick with him, get this defence performing with him and the other young lads in it too, forming partnerships with each other, each pushing each other for a place in the side. It's time to get ahead of the game during this cluster fuck of a season so that we are prepared and ready for next season.
On the ball, Foyth is better than Tanganga and Sanchez. He's the player that can step up out of defence with the ball at his feet as Jan has done so well for us. His development around this is picking his moment to do it.
Name me one academy product that from any side that's "ready".
