Joelinton7 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Lots of bright spots in u18’s game tonight. We had to work hard for our share of the ball and a lot of hard pressing and feisty tackling saw us on top for chunks of the second half. We showed some really neat touches with quick and clever passing and moving to work space and open City up. Really thrilling to watch at times. Like I said we worked bloody hard to come back from two down but ultimately though a combination of City quality and us being a little gung ho let the point slip away. Similar to first team really where we look just as capable of battering a team as we do of conceding a boat load. Stand outs were Sanusi who twisted and turned all game out wide to cause problems. Alfie Harrison on his second start. Grew into the game with the rest of the team and took his goal beautifully with a left foot finish into the bottom right. Began to show exactly what he did for City. Going past men at will, some nice touches and smart passing. Hit the post after a mazy run. Prob not quite ready for first team yet (cameos perhaps) but not far off with shows like this. Shahar played in a midfield role similar to what Trippier does for first team, but he went off at half time, Munda came on and looked assured as usual.

I wouldn’t say this season just simply because I don’t think there’s a path for him with Barnes and Willock coming back. He’s only 16 so not sure if physically ready for men’s football. He shows some sparkles and works very hard front and back, could prob add more goals and assists. He’s fine where he is right now. He’s in a similar boat to Diallo. Both rapid, tricky wingers, Diallo perhaps slightly ahead. Put it this way I’d rather they stayed with us and came off the bench than went out on loan.

Sanussi full of tricks but needs to hit the gym (again im aware he is only a youngun so plenty time to fill out) The 16 year old lad who scored the first 2 for city looks a real player, expect to see him on a premier league pitch soon Citys training ground and academy setup is unreal, all of their staff were so friendly and down to earth as well Papa Heskey was also there watching his bairn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 4 hours ago, TomYam said: Top 5 all London clubs. How times have changed. Read "something in the water" and it will make sense. Essentially it's - poverty -multiculturalism -access to facilities -level of competition - population density The hotbeds of the north are drying up, unable to complete with the perfect mix that south London in particular provides. Our very own tino is of that stock and it shows. Fearless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Positive - Trevan Sanusi scored again. All lot of the talk is how he looked great but needed more goal involvements. Since then 2 goals in 2 games. Negatives - Everything fucking else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
