Are we guilty of overstating how good these young lads are?

Pablo Maffeo is quality and must be being mismanaged or he has injury issues.
The Academy has enjoyed a great deal of success recently and that continued with the U15s in recent weeks… City U15s were crowned as inaugural Floodlit Cup winners at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium on 8 April.
John Mullin's side now have the title of the best in the country and beating West Brom 4-1 in the national final of the competition.
Their journey has been ongoing throughout the season with the U15s sailing through the group stage which contained Bolton, Everton and Liverpool.
Sunderland were the opponents in the quarter final and they were dispatched of to set up a last four clash with Leeds United.
The youngsters visited Yorkshire in high spirits and it reflected in the result with a 6-0 hammering of Leeds to progress to the Northern final, where they would face Aston Villa.
A brace from Henry Ogunby and one from Felix Nmecha, brother of U18s striker Lukas, secured the 3-0 win and a place in the National final against West Brom.
Taylor Richards' brace, coupled with goals from Nmecha and Ogunby, helped City on their way to a 4-1 win as they ran out as deserved winners against the Baggies.
Commenting on the success in the competition, Mullin said: "I'm the delighted with the victory, I thought it was thoroughly deserved. It was great to see the response from the lads after going behind, so it was great to see their character on a big occasion.
"It was good to see them cope with the pressure and retain their composure to come back and win."
"Going forward, they've got to continue working hard and looking to develop."
"They've got to keep working hard in training and hopefully they will do well in future tournaments."
He continued: "The recent success of the Academy shows that we're doing things the right way.
"We're not only winning games, but playing an attractive brand of football throughout the teams at the CFA.
"We do have some talented players here and it's about us guiding them in the right direction and trying to educate them on potential professional careers in the future."
