I'm happy for Gomes and a couple of others to make their mark in the Europa League. Throwing them in against Chelsea would be rash.

Agreed.
There's no rush.
There's clearly a place in the squad for them. They'll be good impact subs and if they start to make more of an impact than the senior players, then they'll be getting picked on merit.
I'd be more concerned if you couldn't see a route into the side for them, but you clearly can.
The likes of Lingard , Mata , lukaku were in and out of the side last season. We haven't replaced them, Ole likes his youth, so I'm sure we'll see plenty of these kids.
