FA youth cup vs Leeds Utd U-18

[Sangria]

I know people are making the comparisons between Ibe and Raheem. Ibe has the same level of skill and promise, but he looks much bigger and stronger already.

 

Two players who have a load of talent where we need it. Just shooting the breeze but I think Ibe could be special, not jumping the gun but he has that little bit of extra in his locker.

Enjoyed that tonight.

That Rossiter is top drawer. 15 years old. Feck me.

I was actually impressed with the 2nd half performance, though not in the way I'd have preferred.

We came under pressure from a team that are supposedly highly rated judging by what they were saying, but I thought we stood up to it pretty well and they didn't create that much. At the same time our front players always looked capable of cutting them open on the break.

Agree with the comment about these front players playing as individuals alot of the time though. If they really got their act together they'd be formidable, though I'm not seeing it with Sinclair as much as some of the others on here are. He shows flashes of ability but needs to get involved more and not spend too long on the ball either trying to do too much, or failing to make his mind up what to do next.

For a 15 year old, Rossiter was incredible.

Incredible.Cant believe how good this lad is.

For a 15 year old at U-18 level Rossiter seems to have a lot more influence over the midfield than you would be entitled to expect. He looks like he has character as well as ability. Far too early to get carried away but looks promising to me.

Same goes for Dunn Ibe Sinclair McClaughlin.

 

On a different note what sort of a nobhead do you need to be to go to a youth cup game in your middle age and try to antagonise the home crowd consisting mainly of families by singing 'sign on' etc ?

Ibe looks awesome tbh, excellent footwork for the first goal.
