Just a point to remember. While everyone keeps harping on about giving the youth a chance, which I agree with to a degree, Crystal Palace went with Gayle instead of Bamford today, with their two most recognised strikers injured. So even though we might right these kids, those at the top think far less of them. They are still considered talented, but not yet ready.
Same goes for RLC and Kenedy. They have looked goid when they've played, but generally that's been against poor opposition. Like Hazard said, if they play, and play poorly, most on here will immediately ask for someone else. Its important they become a part of the XI slowly, if at all. At mid table teams like Liverpool, they can afford to give youth a run, as their first team is terrible, ours is just searching for form.

Exactly. People on here (and in general) are so unrealistic. They want trophies as well as youths brought through. In England it's not that easy

With regards to Bamford, I think it's also got a lot to do with the fact that Gayle is their player while Bamford is only on loan. If you have to choose between a player that will be here in the future or a player that will most likely be gone next season, it's not a difficult decision. So unless he can show he's clearly a better option than the other strikers, he probably won't see a lot of minutes this season.

I expected Bamford to play a lot more than he has. I have such high expectations of him, quite disappointing really.

Gayle is in form lately. He scored hat trick last week. Off course he will get a chance before Bamford.
