fightoffyour Posted November 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2011 Do we have confirmation yet that there will be no further Next Gen games at VP yet? Until next season anyway. Seems a shame to miss out on seeing them in the next stage of the competition. I can see why they'd fly off somewhere for the final, but 2-legged home & away quarters and semis would surely be the best way to go? They're one-leg ties, with the group winner getting the home advantage - according to Villa Central who have the NextGen Twitter as their source. Hopefully we can top our group so that we can play the QF at home AND probably avoid Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted November 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2011 Next Gen goals anyone? Some of the highlights get put on the NextGen website, but probably not for a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping for a Rosenborg win or draw @ Ajaz next week then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 excellent performance from him tonight in the nextgen, moved the ball on quickly, never gave it away, he's just a superb footballer, i think he's got much more of a chance than gardner of making it here. He's a natural footballer, his first touch and passing is top drawer, i love watching him play excellent performance from him tonight in the nextgen, he consistently beat ajax's right back for pace and skill, he can also cross the ball very well, he's got real potential, i'm very excited about this player Who? 1st was daniel johnson, the 2nd was courtney cameron, they were both excellent last night, they've got real futures at the football club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We seem to have a winger factory at the minute at youth level. I wonder how much this has to do with Ashley Young being their role model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think SGC may be correct on Johnson, he does look a bit good in the little clips I've seen, but saying that, even a **** clock tells the right time twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 We seem to have a winger factory at the minute at youth level. I wonder how much this has to do with Ashley Young being their role model? I doubt that AY being a role model would have an effect. I would imagine John Robertson had big influence on the coaching of the youth set up when he was here. He was a winger in his playing days and therefore would have put that image to the coaching drills. I remember reading that James Milner advised that he helped him develop considerably by getting him to think of different situations that he would face in a game and then trying to think of different solutions to these. I would also imagine that MON would like wingers developed as that is the style we played, therefore he would have had the youth set up in that manner.

Well it is really depressing to think of what McUseless thinks are decent wingers??? Hutton and Heskey will keep out all our wingers ATM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMac Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Went to the Rosenburg and Ajax games down at VP, was impressed with Gary Gardner, Courtney Cameron, Graham Burke, Jack Grealish, Jordan Graham and Daniel Johnson. Grealish impressed against Rosenburg and Graham's run against Ajax made everyone sit up and take notice, superb bit of skill, shame the ref pulled play back!! Two very promising wingers, although I haven't seen enough of them to judge if they will be world beaters yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMac Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The quarter finals are only one leg, if we are runners in our group we will be away to the winner of group A, probably Barcelona. We need Rosenburg to do us a favour and get a win or draw against Ajax so we win the group, then we will be at home, against Marseille. Edit - won't be Celtic so changed to Marseille!!
