Sunderland’s 5th goal was scored by a16 year old on his debut. Shouldn’t he be out on loan learning his trade for 5 or 6 years?
We’ve given plenty of young players first team opportunities recently, as Sir Matt Busby said, if you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Though Rosie can’t win, he brings in Vaughan and he does well, but then he still gets slagged off when he suggests Sandat may also be ready to make the step up.
I understand that way of thinking but this Brighton lad started with Brighton when he was 16, he's had 20-odd games.
Fair play to him and Brighton for it happened. Very rare a 16 year old is ready. It’s tough for a young kid even more so now with even bigger academies turning out more and more who won’t make it. If you’re loaned out and get to start give it everything.
Good 2-0 victory for Brid Town at home to Ashington yesterday. Goals from Benn Lewis and Glen Sani (ex City U18). That's 3 goals in 7 starts for him.
Fannying about at the back resulted in a couple of goals in the Coventry vs Watford game. The philosophy is spreading, can be a source of entertainment and humour depending which side you're on.
I know that it’s here to stay but I don’t think I’m ever going to overcome my twatting about at the back anxiety. I felt much more comfortable in the last ten minutes yesterday when Ingram was just larrupping it up field. And that final free kick up the left touchline was a joy to behold.
I know exactly what you mean, but I did observe Leicester blootering it back into our box about ten seconds later. It’s a tactic not devoid of downsides.
I agree. I like how Liam’s getting the team to play, I really do, but 50 years of an ‘if in doubt, kick it out’ mentality is gonna be hard to shift.
First PL game Brentford won at home after their promotion to the PL their manager went over to embrace a young lad with Downs Syndrome. Nice to see him go over to the same lad yesterday celebrating their injury time equaliser. KLP missed an absolute sitter late in the game.
I used to get that way watching Ian Goodison - he was always loathe to just launch it, he often gave me palpitations.
They certainly did, they were a massive coup for our club at the time - it still didn't stop me having palpitations when Goodie nutmegged a forward in and around our box though!
Arsenal snatch an extra goal in the PGMOL mandated 'Fergie time' designed to give man u an opportunity to equalise. Lol
