Youth-ready or not

Clement is darn honest and says it how it is. Some exciting youth like Myles, has more to work on to be ready for the champs. He is nearing 19.
Meanwhile, in the prem, a 16 year old at Arse, 17 year olds at Liverpool blooded. But hesitation still reigns at Ncfc.
What's goin on, then?
