Every player who comes through is either the best or worst that’s ever played the game. You can even see it with Gordon already that people expect too much from him and people already putting a lot of pressure on Branthwaite to step up into a more prominent role already. There’s nothing wrong with some Osman type players, average squad fillers that have good games but nothing amazing.
Not every player needs to be amazing but the talk the last few years of especially Barkley and Davies was rubbish. Both no where near as good as they were hyped to be and many times their faults were ignored because they were locals. Davies will end up at the Championship, might make it back to the PL one day like Lundstram or Gosling at a smaller side and Barkley will end up at a West Ham or Newcastle after Chelsea find the next cheap home grown player to pad their squad.
