Miscellaneous Reserve/Youth News

Given we rave on and on about our academy and looking at the state of our first team shouldnt 2 or 3 now be ready to step up from it? Be interesting to see if the level of players produced and coaches have produced top players ready for our first team looking at the standard of those wearing our first team shirt!
You mostly rave about your team, ie Man City

Elanga in the first team. Garner likely as well.

Garnacho, Hannibal, Laird will be on the fringes. Williams, Pellistri, Tuanzebe, Diallo's futures are up for grabs but could be in the same boat.
 
Surely McNeil will be on the cusp of the first team, seeing as he who shalt not be named will hopefully be done with club this summer.

We are crying out for extra strikers, and he is a proven goalscorer.

McNeil hasn't even adapted to 23s football yet, let alone the first team.

Fair enough, so which striker is the nearest to the first team then? Hugil? As we are really desperate for another striker, with us only having Ronaldo, with Cavani off, he who shalt not be named hopefully off, rashford off form, and Elanga not really a striker, so it would be good if we could have at least one youth player pushing for a first team place, if only just for rotational purposes.

Neither are close to the first team.
 
surprised by Hannibal's inclusion. i assume that knocks him out of being involved tomorrow.
 
What the feck is this camera angle? They've got to be taking the piss :lol:
 
I mean that camera position is about exactly what we've come to expect from this club.
 
Ah there we go, someone finally found the camera charger.
 
Looking very disjointed today, Arsenal haven't looked great either to be fair.

Well this was a very poorly timed post, 1-0 Arsenal the flukey feckers.
 
Arsenal with 20 men plus the referee behind the ball, much like their first team.
 
Poor half. Commentators seem convinced we've been the better team but not sure I agree. Arsenal's looked relatively untroubled and our supposed better players (Fernandez, Shoretire, and even Mejbri to some extent) have looked poor. Shoretire has been daydreaming too much, resulting in the gap between midfield and attack being huge.
