I don't understand why St Georges park is getting so much credit for this win, they spend most of the time with their clubs not there, surely they should be the ones to get the credit?
There's all the usual cliche'd comments now about "will they get a chance at their clubs" already blaming the big clubs for their failure before it's even happened. They're 17! Of course they're not going to suddenly become a starter for the best teams in thee premier league.
Instead of blaming the clubs for buying players and "blocking" their way into the first team, how about the media give the academies the credit they deserve for producing these players. Foden is very much a "city" player with the way he plays and that's down to the academy and it's not just us, Hudson-Odoi and the rest of the Chelsea lads look very much like Chelsea players, powerful, strong athletes with great technique etc etc.
Okay, not all of them will go on to play for City, Chelsea Liverpool etc but the work has been done, they've had the best of the best throughout their development and then it's down to them to make the most of their career. If that means some going to a midtable side or lower and proving themselves there before looking to make that jump back up so be it, that's not the fault of the top clubs. Give them credit for having these world class facilities and investing in producing players capable of being the best around.
