I thought both Garcia's and Tosin were better than Kelechi on the day. The first half was competitive.
I believe one or two of them could easily fit into a strong first eleven and not let us down.
To be fair to the kids, they were all 18/19 unless I'm mistaken. That's very young to be playing regular premier league football. Even the much heralded rags class of didn't play regular until they were 20/21 really. Give them 18 months 2 years and we should see some real improvement as long as there managed correctly. Not all of them are ready like Kelechi seems to be. But that's fine, that's the norm.
Hopefully in Pep we make the correct decisions with them and manage them properly and see the benefits of this over the next 2 or 3 years. Peps successor could be a very lucky guy walking into a job with that batch at 21/22 years old a few years down the line
