Just to add kashiwa who we totally outclassed and should have scored 6 against beat Real Madrid 3-2 and are in semi finals. That makes Maghoma display even more impressive. PSG also in our group are in the semis. It was a very tough group especially with scheduling.

Paris has always had great talent, but like TOB hasn't really shown it for the club this year. Hence being dropped by England. The game BG kindly made a highlights package of is one of his 2 best games of the season. He needs to play more like that, if he is going to succeed, rather than resting on his laurels and assuming he'll dominate games.

Cameron Carter-Vickers: Won possession in the defensive third more times vs Wolves (17) than any other player has managed in a Championship match this season

I'm not trying to spin KWP's performance into a triumph, but I don't think there was much he could do about how we were set up, which left him very exposed, it was a frenetic opening 45 minutes, on a bobbly pitch, and just about every player had a mare, all with a lot more experience than him. Dier was incredibly lucky not to cost us a goal. This wasn't about KWP getting shown up by a super level of football, it was about our team being set up badly, on a blustery day and bobbly pitch, getting given an uncomfortable 45 minutes by an up and at em bunch of shit kickers.
I also think he showed some good intuition in his forward play, got into some good positions. I think it was totally unnecessary to take him off. And I don't mean because of the implications for him or his development, I mean for the structure of the team.
And just to prove this isn't only about KWP/academy players, I can understand why Trippier gets "a pass" for not being the best defender in the world, because he's the most creatively productive RB in this league.

KWP was poor but I would hope Poch isn't so reactive as to not to trust him again. I think the change needed to be made; that is bringing Son on, and I'm glad Poch was (finally) proactive enough to do it at half time.
I like this 800 game rule which I've read McDermott talk about, and I hope Poch believes the same. Nothing about KWP's performance at Newport suggested he wouldn't make it with us; to me at least.

I think KWP's chances will be limited going forward. I think we should be looking for a loan for him, where he can get some games on the right side and give the club something to think about next season.

Wonder if any connection with Ben Wilmot going the other way as has been reported earlier this month. Different positions I know.

wasnt meant to call anybody out in this thread, bc it is very easy to make excuses for KWP performance. I just wanted to say it doesnt help anyone to focus on the context and the circumstances of the performance, it doesnt help the people that like bashing youth and it doesnt help the player that should regardless look back on the performance and think he can do much better. He can be better with his left foot, in his one on one defending and in his off the ball movement. It's a platform to improve upon and he should be focusing on his personal performance not the shitty situation around him.
Trippier point is good, wonder were the point is for people, were Trippier's defensive and possesion shortcomings become unbearable.

Personally I thought it was poor by poch to drag him off
Whilst KWP didnt play well and was poor but he was one of many, which still isnt an issue for me
However the fact I have seen even worse performances by some players and yet poch is reluctant to even think about a sub until the 65min, disappointed me
I wish he would do it more often but it disappoints me because this type of treatment is only done with a non first team player

Now do it for the 1st half, not entire game.
It doesn't actually. Exactly 13 apiece either side of the centre

If a player plays 800 games 400 will be average, 200 will be worse and 200 will be exceptional. Likely for young players those 600 average or worse games will come before the exceptional ones, a youth coach's job is all about preparing them for that so the 200 exceptional games can happen.
