I think people easily forget that in order for young players to succeed they need investment in time and faith. It's a tricky balancing act between not throwing away too many matches and investing the needed time for them to get to grips with the pace and standard of first team football.
For me, the decision is made easier by the fact that we are screwed either way unless the kids become so bad that the confidence can be damaged. Let's face it, we are going to struggle and drop points if we rely on Mata, Lingard, Matic and Rojo so we are better off building up our youngsters than wasting minutes on players that aren't going to improve. The upside is huge if, say, Greenwood makes it or Garner does as it would save millions in fees.
