sne Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Harvey Elliot's contract at Blackburn goes until the 31st of May. Wonder if they'll try and get him back for this game and if they are allowed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll probably find a loophole to start Salah, Mane, Wijnaldum and Allison so they’re not a bad side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think I say it after every youth game I watch but seriously if at the very least a couple of these don't make it and have good careers then just shut the academy down because there's no hope. We all like to get excited over youth players coming through, probably a bit too much in the past but the quality in this current batch is serious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and me Which is why despite the calls to send them out on loan or let them break through I also think there is a lot of benefit for keeping the gang together for as long as possible, let them enjoy it together, they'll retain the bond in the 1st team Can see at least 3 of them making it and being very good for us, Barry Chuk and Kesler plus then another couple getting games and another couple it going either way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident these lads will end up having better careers than the team that played the 2010 final. Derrick Williams is surely enjoying life in LA though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Youth_Cup_Finals_of_the_2010s#2009–10:_Chelsea_vs_Aston_Villa_(1–1_and_2–1,_3–2_aggregate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Rumour going round that Liverpool will be allowed to field their superstar 1st team in the final as Villa were aloud to use their kids it the 3rd round of the F.A.

Standards are higher across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Raikhy has a real chance . Brilliant presser good awareness. Great tackler . And to top it off a fantastic passer of the ball. Physically imposing as well . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I thought Raikhy was arguably the best player on the pitch. Certainly the one with the oldest head on shoulders. That's the kind of midfielder the first team is crying out for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 To think, 15 yrs ago the ball would have been in the air for a very large percentage of the game. It's lovely to see how these young kids are learning the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
