Youth Cup 1/4 against Barcelona
I've been very impressed by our guys today in the first half. We could have scored 3-4 goals and our attacks are very good. The main reason for that is Brandy. What a player! Right now we are leading 1-0 after goal by Keira nLee.
Our top 3 players in frst half... 1) Brandy - Keep playing like this and we got our "dark" Wayne Rooney next year 2) Barnes - Running like hell on left wing. Fast, but I wonder why don't he play on right? 3) Heawson - Making sure we have cover when we attack. Playing very mature. |

I've been EXTREMELY impressed with our youth teams performances, final of the milk cup even though we had one of the youngest teams in the tournament, now in the quarters against some of the best youngsters in the world, it is an even better feat considering that some of the best players aren't even there (they were at the milk cup). |

Barcelona is putting us under pressure but no chances yet from Barca. We have took 5 steps back on the pitch and are trying only to defend right now.
Ref. is letting the game get dirty. There is a little chance that we can se a small fight soon. It has already been 5-6 very tough tackels and players upset with eachother after that. |

Brandy looks some player, quick, good technique and dribbling skills and a good shot. Barnes could be one for the future aswell, while Evans gives away possession constantly |

We just beat Barcelona, who apparently have one of the best youth teams.
Glory Glory ManUtd |

also, i gotta say, brandy is a potentially amazing player! he's a dribbling prodigy, he can easily slip past 4-5 players on his own, brilliant! the one thing i am scared of though, is that he is so good, that the opposition have to resort to cheap and dirty tactics against him, which could lead to injuries...

As for Brandy, he is a tiny wee fecker. But so is Messi. Obviously a stupid comparison to make (no pressure, Fabien!) but if you're good enough you're big enough, IMO. |

The CYC squad is for 18-19 year olds! We are missing Galbraith, Cleverley, Fagan and one or two others from our youth squad from last season. Therefore Norwood and Moffatt were drafted in. You could argue that Eikrem and Welbeck should have been in the team but again they are very young. But all our best players are in Malaysia! Saying that, I agree that we are playing well under difficult conditions and with a small squad. Anyone know who Anton Bryan came on for? |

Nobby, there is a youth forum with a few threads on this tournament already. Use it for fuck's sake! It's shockingly underused and will continue to be so if people keep using the main forum every time something big goes down. Might as well not have a youth forum then.. Mods, move this thread to where it belongs.
