There is indeed a need for English players to gain more game time and thus greater experience, as at present they are simply given significantly less than others. English players account for just 35.1% of the minutes played in the Premier League this season, compared to 57.6% by Spanish players in La Liga, 55.8% by French players in Ligue 1, 48.0% by Germans in the Bundesliga and 43.1%by Italians in Serie A. They are also behind the Russian, Dutch and Turkish leagues.
