U21s Final: Chelsea vs. United

That's a great goal. And deserved, too, Chelsea have looked a totally different class to our lads all evening. It's like they're a higher age group or something.
 
Thoroughly deserved lead. Much better team than us.
 
2-1, great finish. Punished from not producing a goal at our gifted chance at the other end.
 
feck sake, after I spend time bigging up charni and he goes and does that.
 
We're actually a pretty young Under 21 side, the only player over 19 is the goalie (and he is 20).

You've won this like three years in a row haven't you? Looks like you have a fantastic youth setup, why can't any of them ever breach the first team?
 
The goal was great but other than that Lawrence has been poor.

You won this last year. It's the FA Youth Cup (under 18) that we've done well in recently.

Our managers never have their feet under the table long enough to even think about blooding youngters.
 
A few have played the odd couple of minutes here and there (Swift, Ake, Baker) but unless a massive injury crises happens, I can't see any of them getting a string of games.
What's Musonda like? He came from Anderlecht didn't he?
 
Now that we have no actual forward in our team, I struggle to see how we can score a goal in a situation other than a set piece. We'll have to see, though.

Chelsea have done well the whole match and deserve to win this, to be honest. We've really missed Rothwell in midfield. I'm disappointed in Joyce in not freeing up Pearson earlier.
 
Baker, Ake and Loftus-Cheek have controlled the midfield completely.
 
Most of our guys have been here since they were kids. I wonder how many of Chelsea were bought.
 
Well deserved that. Chelsea looked class. They'll hopefully go onto have great careers on loan at mid-tier European clubs.
