Diego Poyet
Why has Diego Poyet not been given more first team chances?
Since his summer arrival from Charlton, the 20-year-old midfielder has been limited to just one start and two substitute appearances in the Premier League.
Poyet might feel aggrieved; Sam Allardyce’s stubborn refusal to endorse any form of youth seems to be the reason why he has not seen as much first team action as he deserves.
Perhaps a change in management and philosophy would present more opportunities for the son of Gus Poyet, who recently opted to play international football for Uruguay, rather than England or Spain.
The former Charlton player of the year is a combative central midfielder who I would like to see pushing Cheikhou Kouyate and Mark Noble for their spots in the starting line-up as competition for places is healthy.
