No mate far too many mistakes. Decent enough shot stopper but doesn't command his 6 yard box enough.
Kicking is ok but doesn't claim crosses and I remember at least 4 down to him
Having re-read it you mean other than those 3 yes there are as I said. Also add in Will Wood and a few other good u 18s we are doing ok.
The idea of the academy is promote up but it also is a revenue stream and several will go on to have a career where we will get money from.
You really are a ray of sunshine aren't you nothing but positive praise beams from you.
So Gardos, Targett or Reed who has been excellent tonight so far are near the first team or Fela who was sub recently?
Of course he is and the comparison is nuts. Gardos is nowhere near their level or will ever be.
He is a decent defender and a good 4th choice.
VVD by a mile
Hesketh frustrates the hell out of me he has everything but just seems to lack that final pass/ finish.
A good footballer in there but needs that 10% more to break through.
So I sort of understood the substitution because up until that point there was an acre of space that Newcastle were using in front of Martina. JWP went into that space for about ten minutes and we then looked better. However then Mane moved there and JWP went wandering and we lost all pace up front - Mane was trying but was too deep to be effective IMO.
Once Romeu came on we looked far better - moved the ball quicker and more positive forward passes and he loves a tackle.
I thought Clasie did well in first half with some very good reading and interceptions - he lost a few marks for some over elaborate through balls that were easily cut out though - didnt see much from him second half.
