Good to see everyone is keeping this in perspective. . .


Interesting the amount of fouling going on, I don't watch youth football but I wonder if the young lads aren't as used to the constant interruptions?

Unfortunately none of these kids are up to premiere league class. Skipp and Eyome may make it when they get o;der Marsh never will and Georgiou isnt a back , Amos wont ever be an automatic starter either but he has some potential.
You should be a Spurs scout. You seem to ‘not’ see something that Poch does.

Too early to judge imo. Too much inexperience at this level. If you had brought through and played 1 or 2 youngsters then the older heads can protect and guide them during the game and you might have seen a different performance but just illustrates how short we are in midfield.im guessing sanchez and eriksen have simply not been risked with how weak side we already look like we might have to field against newcastle
Not just judging on this performance but on youth team games over the past few seasons

Where's our B team then? Heard so much talking about our fantastic depth before last season and still.
We have 9 players who have not been back to training at all. We have Lamela, Sissoko, Wanyama, Winks and Foyth who are nursing injuries. Eriksen and Sanchez did not travel. So, that is 16 first team players missing, while Girona went with their starting XI.

Not sure what else you were expecting.

very funny. Is it illegal to criticise players Im not just making the judgement on this game but from watching them over several seasons at youth level. The only one I said will never make it is Marsh and he wont.

yes this may not be our first team but this is our last match before the real thing kicks off next week!
so yes this performance matters, as im sure we will be seeing the majority of these players next week

There's a big difference between playing a youth player in a settled team and playing half a team of them. I'm not worried if Amos start with Eriksen and Dembele against Newcastle

Which one of you guys argued with me that Georgiou could replace Rose:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

This can't be good for some of the lads out there.
Said the same, he is not a right back. I want to seem him up top.


This is such a pointless match. Feels like it should be the first game of preseason not the last.

There are 4 players who would be in the normal match day squad

Would be nice not to get embarrassing though

Agreed, reminds me of some of the Europa games where we made loads of changes and struggled.

IDC who is playing for us. This is humiliating. It's fucking Girona.
