He's odd isn't he? I remember saying that Grealish at this level (in fact in the Championship too) wnet past people sometimes without looking like he'd done anything at all, he left defenders static and facing the wrong way and they've no idea how he got past them. With Blackett-Taylor, he sort of stumbles past players and you get the feeling that he has no idea how he got past them. You'd call it lucky if you only saw it once, but I've seen a season of him now and he does it time and time again - he looks like a big pup who's just learned to walk sometimes - you're right, he could be something once he grows into the legs.

HanoiVillan Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I love this tournament. I love Hong Kong, and watching it makes me nostalgic, but it just seems like a pretty good little tournament anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 19, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2018 Going forward I thought O'Hare and Blackett-Taylor looked good, but it was good to also see Mooney and Knibbs getting goals and I thought Clark looked great striding out from the back with the ball. A good first day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2018 Beaten 2-0 by Leicester in the quarters - from what I saw it looked a fair reflection of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 As expected O'Hare looks much more of a football than most if not all of the other players in the tournament. Even the commentators were singing his praises saying how other teams bring big powerful players and we always bring a Jack Grealish type. Seems he has picked up a bad injury in the end though, really fell badly on his ankle. Mitchell Clark looked bright again as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSteveUK Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 i may be putting a curse on the lad - but over the last 18-24 months - the one that has impressed me most is Mitch Clark. - at one point - i think in the Plate final - when playing 4v4 in extra time - and him wearing the GK jersey - he ran back about 50 yards and put the tackle of the tournament on a breakaway forward from WHU. Wasn't the first time he has played GK either - he did it 2 years ago - when Sarkic (I think ) was injured before/during the SF- Mitch finished the match in goal - and ALLof the Final = which we won. Absolutely superb - and I think he could be our right back of the future. - especially if he fills out a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
