Is there no-one up and coming through the youth ranks at all? why do we even have an academy system? Why did we move the academy system to be closer to the first team system? We persist in playing midfielders in defence at the expense of midfield. I find it hard to believe that there aren't young players in the periphery of the first team squad that we could be blooding and introducing to help alleviate the defensive injury pressures. Klopp used this vein why won't slot. We shouldn't just have to go to the market.
