I can't wait til Fabio reaches his potential and joins the first team with his brother

I was moping around the house mourning the lack of football (I admit I got a bit spoilt post-Christmas) and then I saw this thread. I can't explain how much this game has lifted my mood.

On the Fabio note, I wish I could shake him and say "Don't worry mate, you'll make it here one day. Keep your chin up and be patient". Every time he misses (especially after that brilliant run) I keep feeling like his lack of first-team football is in the back of his mind, especially contrasted to his brother. I get the feeling I care too much.

I still think we should be a bit sneaky with the twins. Play Rafael in the first half, then get him to swap shirts with Fabio for the second whilst no one's looking.

Poor opposition will fear the Right-Back with Limitless Stamina!

(I'm working on a catchier name).

Academy cup highlights: What a goal by Pogba, what a howler by their keeper, and what a shocking offside decision for the disallowed goal.

Having seen that highlights reel has reminded me, why does Johnston seem to be getting in ahead of Devlin these days? Personally I think Devlin's our best young keeper but I could be terribly wrong.

Obertan and King did pretty much as they damn well pleased in the first half. How we only scored once is beyond me. Dudgeon and Fab very positive, Evans' had his moments.

Will Keane should of have a hat trick, both them offside goals looked onside the first was appalling from the linesman.

I thought Conor was too old this year?

Yeah, haven't seen much progress from Devlin or Johnstone.

Fabio up for scapegoating if this doesn't go!

Nah, can't stay mad at that face... especially not since he shares it with his acclaimed brother.

Fabio almost AGAIN. And he's down.

Has he played CM a lot for the reserves? Has he done well here? I like what I see.
