Without checking, isn’t this U19? And aren’t the main FA brackets U16, U18 and U21? That might have been the issue from our teams. Many of the U21s would be too old, and the better U18s were playing in U21 so the teams we put out in Europe weren’t used to playing together. Their RW is really fucking good

What a terrible finish that was

IIrC there were some quirky rules about age and eligibility in this tournament. Seem to remember we put some weird teams out.

I mean, Inter, Juve, Barca and the top English sides will have a bit of input too. Thought you looked ok for a while there. The fact that (a) their press on your back four is scary but also (b) they’re lethal on the break is not good. No idea how good either team ranks at this age though. I know your youth set-up has been unimpressive for a few years.

Oof. What a cracking goal.

Switched on while they were playing the replay of the goal but they never changed the score on screen so I presumed it had been disallowed Silly penalty to give away there.

He definitely grew into the game. They needed someone who could put themselves about up front.

Could see both. It was such a clear-cut swing though, almost comical.

It’s so hard to put your finger on. Can see them snatching this now, just when Burnley were looking more likely.

Sangaré’s defending is hilarious.

Sangaré’s shooting is hilarious.

Forest don’t seem to know who is supposed to be picking up Berge.

Did change the trajectory a bit, actually took it ever so slightly away from the defender. Tiniest amount though.

Mayhem now.

Urgh. I mean I can see why tbf. Still, urgh.

Man what a weirdly soft goal that was

Steve Cooper is such a peculiar-looking bloke.

Jesus, sometimes forget just how many cast-offs Forest picked up.

Oops.

Kinda want Burnley to get a goal now to set up a cracking finish. Good game.

So glad they didn’t give that handball too.

Screamer.

Can’t make my mind up about Forest. Unsure what their identity is - they’ve got a lot of big, strong players who all kinda do the same thing. Gibbs-White is a class act though.

Did not realize that Koleosho has already represented Canada, the US and Italy, at various levels.

Christ there’s so much football available now. When did Sky start showing the Northern Irish league too?
