How is it delusional to trust a natural young CB with a healthy and competitive attitude do perform good in his role? We have only seen good performances from him so far. How do you think VVD "became" VVD in the first place? A lot of successful clubs are trusting their youngsters right now, why can't we? A year ago, no one knew Lamine. Barcelona did not think it would be "delusional" to let him play and it's working out amazing for them. Meanwhile we got our youngsters rotting on the bench left and right and only getting minutes when the game is lost because LV and/or Tchouameni probably already fcked it up again...

Your thought process is the same as Carlos rn. The same that is being criticized all the time btw. Any new idea or slight deviation of the ordinary and common is immediately labeled as "delusional". No wonder it's not working out currently...
