Youth team development

Big Willie

Brilliant pass from Rowe and what a finish from Amechi

Ricky1985

Brilliant goal! Amaechi!

Great slide rule pass from Smith-Rowe and a brilliant dinked finish from Amaechi.

We are doing very well to even live with this Chelsea side in all honesty. That's the first goal they've conceded in this year's competition. They're the best coached and have the deepest pool of talent. Brilliant stuff from us.

Ricky, what are your thoughts on Virginia? Looks competent tonight at least.

Ricky1985

I like him a lot. He's very quick off his line and that some times gets him into trouble but he makes greats saves and is very good with his feet.

Stylistically, Rowe is a mix of Rosicky with the high tempo and Ozil with the grace.

Big Willie

Rowe really reminds me of De Bruyne. Great touch and dribbling. Fast and very direct with good vision. Very, very strong on the ball as well.

Ricky1985

De Bruyne is who he's always reminded me of.

Always great to see a young player, or any player, so two footed.

Big Willie

He even looks a bit like him eh?

Ricky1985

He does. He's a couple of inches taller than him and a bit quicker but definitely has a similarity in style to him. Very well rounded.

Big Willie

Kami must be rolling his eyes when he reads this thread.

Ricky1985

😆

He'll like Smith-Rowe is my bet actually.

Big Willie

Yeah Rowe is pretty exciting. Has he turned 18 yet?

Needs a good loan next season to a championship side and see how he can handle real first team football.

Here's the goal:

A lot to like about that goal, some smart play from our CF who pulled off to open up space for Amaechi

Edit - beat me to it!

The striker that made the run is Tyreece John-Jules. He's had a good half. He's quicker than I had previously thought. Very good touch and clever to boot.

MistaT

beat you, but you got that embed!

Ricky1985

Dujon Sterling, the guy that has just come on for Chelsea, is seriously quick.

Ricky1985

Terrible decision by the linesman. John-Jules was 2 yards onside and was through for a one-on-one.

Big Willie

Poor decision there. Was nowhere near being offside on Jones.

Big Willie

How are we taking off our best player?

Ricky1985

Not sure about taking Smith-Rowe off. He's worked extremely hard but he was still making things happen.

Trae Coyle is a player though.
