Tottenham Hotspur youngsters Kaziah Sterling and Marcus Edwards have not been given chances this season.
Tottenham Hotspur youngsters Kaziah Sterling and Marcus Edwards can have legitimate grievances with Mauricio Pochettino, if he continues to overlook them this season.
Pochettino has proven more willing than any other Premier League manager to trust his youngsters to make a step up to the first-team since taking charge at Spurs, but he has appeared very reluctant to test out Sterling and Edwards.
The pair are regarded as two of the brightest prospects in England, but they have been starved of chances in Tottenham’s senior side.
While it is understandable that Pochettino has favoured his more experienced options so far, Sterling and Edwards have strong cases to be playing now.
Moussa Sissoko and Fernando Llorente have both been completely out of sorts recently, and there are serious doubts over the pair’s quality.
Sissoko may have improved this term, but Tottenham don’t look like such a strong team when he is involved.
Llorente, meanwhile, has not scored in any of his first 15 matches for Tottenham – and looks very low on confidence.
And the time may now have come for Pochettino to give Edwards and Sterling a go, with Sissoko and Llorente continuing to struggle.
