We have a whole load of promising young players.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

In theory if only a quarter of them make it, we'd be laughing: Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi, Holding, Bielik, Zelalem, Akpon, Willock... the earlier guard of Campbell, Gnabry, Chambers.... and even earlier ones like Ox.

But we've been here before and it hasn't quite happened. Perhaps it's because you need a solid team in order for new players to flourish? Too many at the same time and they ight wilt and get their asses whipped.

Chambers is toast, as is gnabry.

Scored a good goal for Ger at the Olympics.

Bielek was crap as a CH in pre-season imo.

Holding looked decent, but Bielek gave the ball away loads in really scary situations, one of which led to a goal. And given we didn't have many scored against us, it doesn't look too good.
