Sorry yeah it is Burkart, I presumed it showed all goals from the game not just the Gomes hattrick

Sensational stuff from the lad today. Two assists and a goal, all over the pitch, passing range, link up play, game intelligence, pressing and even a few tasty tackles.
His second assist and goal were absolutely fantastic.
His second assist and goal were absolutely fantastic.
Gifs?
Looks a guaranteed first team player if he can increase his physical attributes in the next two to three years.
Looks more on the level of Pogba/Morrison in U18's.
After two hat tricks, I’m deeply disappointed with only 1 goal and two assists. Time to sell him.
Shame on the clip of his second assist you can't see the work that he did on the opposite side of the pitch to open up the space on the right flank.
Who's the #7 he worked the last goal with?
I dont mind his height because it reminds me of Messi haha
DJ Buffonge.
I believe it's Buffonge. Looks a talent too!
Yeah, number 7 looked very impressive in those clips too. Two assists and was involved for the first goal.
I think Gomes was the standout overall but he, Buffonge and Boonen all had excellent games in the creative attacking positions.
Sign of a classy player that he makes everything look so easy.
Hurry up and be 18! (first time I've said this I swear)
On the right track to be a star for us, hope he keeps it up.
He's English.
Nope, he was born in North London. I went to the same school as himself, as well as his brother
Today he's was outstanding but that said, that's the best I've seen an Utd under 18's for sometime especially when you consider Middlesbrough's record....
Gomes reminded me a bit of Morrison in the way he played in the u18s but probably less individualistic. He can drop deep and dictate play, then also make telling contributions around the box. Looks to have strong game awareness and links up really well with Buffonge and Boonen.
Gomes looks like more of a passive player who is better at creating, while Morrison looked like the more aggressive goal scorer who will try to make things happen on his own. Not that Gomes can't score goals or that Ravel can't create, as they obviously both have those qualities, just that they tend to favor those parts of the game. I hope that came across well.
As of this season, Gomes' stats don't really paint that picture as he has lots of goals and assists, but that's the impression I get.
I don't think he was passive today. I bet he comfortably had the most touches on the pitch and was all over the pitch. He pressed well and made a few tackles.
I think he will easily outscore Morrison's best effort in this age group too.
For all Morrisons talent he seems a little aimless, playing mostly to show his skill set than to allow his team to win. Gomes is different in that way and though a good dribbler I think he's more rounded and a better passer. Gribbin I think is more similar to Ravel than Gomes is.
I wasn't strictly talking about this match. In any case, I mean play style as in trying to dribble past players and create something on your own, whether that be his own shot or just to get the assist. Gomes lets the game come to him.
I think the best example of that aggressive player right now is Barca's Lee Seung Woo.
I really hope Jose does right by him when the time is right. For all of Van Gaal's faults, I was excited to see how he and Giggs could have possibly birthed a new generation of first team players with the talent we have now.
Its good to know that we have promising players in the ranks.
Looks good, but never realised how small he actually looks. Hopefully he can handle the physicality.
What Albion High in Salford?
To the suggestions he's the cousin of Nani, I might be wrong but that is not true. However his Dad Gil is the cousin of the ex Portuguese forward Nuno Gomes, that I do know....
not true, nuno gomes isn't even a "gomes", his "last name" was a nickname given to him because of another player. but you're right, nani's not his cousin, he's just a family friend. Angel's family actually originates from angola, and he still has the great majority of his relatives based there, nani is cape verdean, although you can find many cape verdeans with angolan relatives and vice versa.
angel is quite a humble kid too, good sense of humor, usually the quietest in the room but lights up when the discussion is music. big rnb/hip-hop fan. we kinda ran in the same group since i'm good friends with one of his cousins and i was mentored by his uncle valdano gomes.
Looks a mega talent. First time i seen that DJ buffonge and he looks a real promising player as well.
He's small, but he just turned 16. He's about a year younger than Chong and Boonen. Also about 2 years younger than DJ.
I really don't worry about physicality because he's just too talented on the ball. He can keep the ball very close at all times making it easier to do a 360 turn among other things. Obviously it's a factor, but to me it's a tiny one. It's not really a problem for people like Iniesta.
Now I kinda know why he could link up so well with DJ Buffonge.
