U23s & Academy

[Nucasol]

Huge win for the U18s away at a Liverpool side who won their first two games 5-1 and 6-1. Now 3rd in the table with 10 points after 4 games.

Is Old young enough to become our youngest ever PL player if given a chance?

Had a look earlier to see if Salia might be playing in the Academy game. Hamstring injury. Obviously.

Are the youth team playing against Barca on the app?

Villarreal U19s were a reminder that Spanish clubs seem to teach whiny cheating at a very early age

No, it'll be on the football pitch.

3-0 down. As expected, Barcelona's youth are on a different level to us.

Have you been watching the game? What sort of team do you have out?

 

I was worried about our squad beforehand because of all the players we have out on loan but had forgotten it was U19. We have a couple of very good 16-year olds and actually the U19 team we have is very similar to our U21 team. I thought your U18 team was doing well so I presumed your U19 would be good too, although obviously Barca is quite another question.

Barca innit. The cunts will have hoovered up all the global talent into La Masia with promises of Yamal or Messi esque pathways.

I've had it on in the background while working, so not paying 100% attention, but from what i've seen Barca have been noticeably quicker and have had most of the ball and chances. In terms of players, its a mix of players I recognize and don't. The main two are Shahar and Neave, they have both made the first team bench before. Shahar actually just scored a lovely free-kick to make it 3-1.

[Stifler]

Fucking hell, how long did it take for them to change the graphic?

The goal was offside, it’s not 3-2.

[54]

I can see why Neave has a bit of hype around him, he looks a cut above everyone else of our lot, been several times he's carried the ball forward to beat a defender to get a shot off. He just danced round three Barca midfielders on the halfway line, before charging on goal and laying it off to someone to score, albeit that player was offside.

Did PSG thrash our youth team when we trashed their adult team 2 years ago??

Nah, they scored a stoppage time winner.

[Stifler]

Now it’s 3-2.

 

And the graphic changes to 3-3. 🤦‍♂️

[54]

No idea who our 81 is, but that is a lush goal. 3-2.

It's Wooster, signed him from Southend, doing well in the youth team

Scored 2 against Liverpool the other week too

[Ronson333]

Given Barca are defending champions, this isn’t too bad at all

[Optimistic Nut]

Is Soo actually decent or is he just the same level as the rest but with a bit of flair?
