But we’ve bought players in those positions. I guess all we have is ‘be patient’ but that translates to me as ‘cross your fingers and hope it comes good’.

I think investing in youth is great, but it needs to be in addition to strengthening for the here and now (unless you think the kids can step up immediately). The only improvement to our 11 this season is the difference between Solanke and Richarlison. If we think the kids are ready, throw them in.
