We’ve invested in the youth and facilities side of the club so expect our manager to play them.
One of the reasons I think van gaal was in the frame before he was poached by United and why we wanted pochettino when he decided to leave Southampton.
But we’ve fewer academy players who have made it to the first team than you think.
Kane, winks, Mason, bentaleb, Rose (poached from Leeds) josh onomah, Kyle Walker peters, oliver skipp. But pochettino is ready to give them a go if he thinks they are good enough.Just haven’t had as many as fans would like who have been as successful as Kane, who is now the benchmark.

It does only seem to be Spurs out of the top-4 bothering clubs (possibly Arsenal if you rate their chances of a top-4 finish) who actually have consistently played academy products.
I'm struggling to think of anyone bar Rashford who has made the grade at United, Foden hasn't really established himself at City, Liverpool have Alexander-Arnold, but apart from that it's not a good picture really.
