Always the way. Been that way since we got to the final. Last year's team got slaughtered by Colchrster.

Ferdinand is struggling beating his man on that side . I hope Nwaneri comes on early in the second half. This is still a very winnable game. We score 2 look for another in extra time
We've not fielded our strongest squad over the years and it has cost us. I need us in another youth cup final.
We did get there in the 17/18 season and got slaughtered by Chelsea. Those games were actually closer than the score would indicate but Chelsea were ruthlessly efficient and very clinical. I still think our 18/19 youth cup team was the most talented we have had in many years. Def over the last 10 years. That team had Saka, Okonkwo, Balogun, Smith, Xavier Amaechi etc
Half Time: ACD being our best player, closely followed by Myles. I really wish Ibrahim was the DM and Myles number 8. Ibrahim is losing a lot of balls in the half space that are leading to counters. Gower is off the pace , a wave length slower than everyone else in the field. Ferdinand has been given the Martinelli job, which isnt easy and hes struggling against a more physical experienced RB. Funnily enough he plays better as a traditional winger than inverted. Kamara and Nwaneri should come on for Ferdinand and Gower.

Cozier-Duberry looks like a proper prospect. Very lively and entertaining player.
When I think about it , that team was unlucky , they met Chelsea academy at its peak. Not everyday you meet a team that won/wins UEFA youth league in consecutive years. I like this current team because aside from the fact they have probably two generational talents and ACD, they have very interesting profiles . Technical tall fullbacks, Physical CBs (Maldini and Robinson ) Ball playing CBs (Reuell + Quamina has hit some very good balls), a pure Balogun like 9 in Benjamin , fast wing forwards (Kamara). I think they're a bit unlucky they are being coached by a rookie but they are being coached well in terms of mirroring the first team.
2-2 in no time.
So so brilliant. Top class player.
3-2. Rosiak.
Kamara has been electric since coming on.
Need to punish them now. Nwaneris ball to Kamara by the way was fantastic.

4-2. Cozier-Duberry pen again.
Lewis-Skelly wins pen with another great run. So good.

Lewis-Skelly such a brilliant dribbler but he's also played a lot of really good and clever passes that will go unnoticed.

It would be nice to see Wilshere have a good career in coaching, especially with his playing career being blighted by injury.
Ibrahim was good for the equaliser but I've not been impressed with him. Completely overshadowed by Lewis-Skelly in both 6 and 8. Usually more solid IMO.
Great comeback win for 4-2. Wilsheres change to bring on Kamara sparked a memorable win.
Cozier-Duberry and Lewis-Skelly continue to be brilliant. Rosiak and Sousa had brilliant 2nd halves aswell. Sousa still a bit ropey lately but he looked far more composed after the break.
Benjamin was tireless up top and didn't get much shrift but he was self effacing and made the others pop. Some great ball carrying aswell. Nwaneris cameo was impressive, his passing was excellent mostly and had some good Carries.
Cozier-Duberry easy MOTM, threatened constantly with his dribbling and fought like mad for the time he was on. Lewis-Skelly was faultless though, his tackling and passing were top class. Some of his interceptions were key today. Warrior performance from both men.

Sousa has no future here. He can’t defend to save his life
