Title: FA Youth Cup ITV4 tonight
Post by: gavin on April 04, 2016, 19:20:28
Programme starts at 19.30 allegedly. I say allegedly as it is listed most places except the ITV4 website which says Chelsea v Blackburn is on on some of their pages but not all. Anyway City are 2-1 up from the first leg.

4-3 up on aggregate now but Arsenal probably playing the more fluent football.

Yes, it was a tight game but City are through. Well done the lads.

Pretty even game. Made it a bit easier after they went down to 10...

To be honest it's hard to see many of them making the step to the first team.

Possibly Adarabioyo or Humphreys but that's it.

I thought arsenal looked the better passers, tacklers and all round stronger players.
Diaz looks as though he could be a mercurial talent. A few others looked decent...

Amazed that you left out Brahim Diaz, the kid isn't 17 until August and is a top prospect. Nmecha also looks to have great potential, just turned 17.

Arsenal were an older side, and a year can make a big difference at that age but our lads overcame that and in the 2nd half could have had 2 or 3 more goals.

I'm really only judging them on last nights performance where I thought Diaz showed a fair bit of skill at times but his tendency to do too much let him down. I didn't realise he was so young though, so maybe it's being a bit harsh.

Looks like Chelsea in the final, 4-0 up on aggregate in the 2nd half...

Edit 4-1 now, doesn't really change things though...
