The answer if Klopp would is NO. Lets have a look at Liverpool team of today..TAA yes one academy player who is a regular. You could argue Gomez but he only got in because Matip was injured and as soon as Matip is back 100% I expect Gomez to be back on the bench. We had no choice with Sancho don't forget he wasn't even 18 when he decided he wanted a move, not feasible for any team chasing the title to make them regulars at that age, as for the rest they would be cup players at best
Whether Gomez goes back to the bench or not is irrelevant because we've seen him have extended runs in the team; that is to say Gomez is actually part of Liverpool's first team picture. Pep can try kid us but Foden and Garcia are not part of the first team; no first team player plays the lack of minutes they have. And the case of Sancho is emblematic of our failings as a club when it comes to youths. Age is irrevelant when it comes to talent, Sancho was never going to be given the chance to showcase the talent he showed at youth level in any meaningful way at this club. Braaf will not either. Sancho saw the writing on the wall, these players are aware of the fact that this is not the right football team if you want an opportunity as a youngster. We don't even know if Garcia will be here in 18 months time. The only reason Foden is still here is because he's a City fan and we're so fortunate that that is the case.
