Only if you are prepared to have transitional seasons whilst you find out how good they are and whether they can cut it. Quansah is a perfect example. He has done absolutely brilliantly considering his age and lack of experience. Unfortunately, he has cost us in a number of games because kids will inevitably make mistakes early in their careers.
Look at Foden at City and how long it took him to come through. Or look at Cole Palmer and how he had to drop down a level to blossom. Expecting to throw in a load of kids at the same time whilst expecting to be almost guaranteed top 4 is hugely unrealistic.
O look you're cherry picking parts of peoples posts to further your agenda against laptop eddie and FSG.
No-one has said we will rely on kids, my post earlier even specifically said we need to bring in 2-3 players on the cusp of elite i.e. the new versions of Mane, Fabinho, Salah, Firmino etc. Along with some of our youngsters stepping up.
You use Quansah as an example he made 1 mistake yet our forwards failed to put the game away so that one mistake of youth didn't cost us anything.
You also ignore Bradley who has been nothing short of a revelation, the kid was driving our attack forward.
However what is very clear is Slot likes to bring young players through, just like Klopp, he specifically says it brings energy to the team and in my humble opinion the energy went out of our side when the kids stopped playing for the seniors to come back in.
"Liverpool’s academy has proven fertile ground this season, as Klopp promoted talents including Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, Bobby Clark and Jayden Danns.
Expect that to continue under his successor. Slot awarded 12,334 minutes to academy talent in the season Feyenoord won the league. During our visit, he reflected, “Youth players in your first team give energy. And if people feel they can grow inside the club, that drives the culture. I don’t believe that much in experience; I believe more in game intelligence, and young players can have much more than an older player.” He said this mindset, where anybody can progress, should extend beyond the dressing room, citing how Frank Boer, a former marketing department intern at the club, had gone on to become their team-manager, overseeing player care."
