José Mourinho has handed debuts to a number of Tottenham youngsters, and one can’t help but feel that if Mauricio Pochettino had done so, the fanfare would have slightly bigger; Alfie Whiteman, Dane Scarlett Nile John, Marcus Lavinier, Alfie Devine, and Harvey White have all been given a taste of big game responsibility. Despite these initiatives, the Portuguese may well fail to win the hearts and minds of many Spurs fans.
Gabriel Agbonlahor, the former Aston Villa star and occasional pundit believes that Dane Scarlett is widely tipped to be a huge success.
The signs appear to be all pointing in the right direction for Scarlett and my only word of caution at this stage is that are many hurdles that a 16-year-old will need to face before being anywhere close to hitting the big time.
What is an immediate positive, however, is that we have a coach willing to feed these boys valuable minutes.
More, please.
