Academy Watch 2021-2

Chelsea are streaming it:

Currently 1-0 down, but it's been all Spurs, according to the Chav pundits.
Just missed a sitter, too. Fagan-Walcott from a dangerous free-kick played into the box.

 

Beauty from Bennett to equalise!

I was busy during the first half but had it on since the start of the second. We’re all over them, 2-2 and we look most likely to go on and win it.

 

Despite the shocking ref. Even the Chelsea pundits are surprised with what they're getting away with.
Danny Rose appears to be enjoying it, though:

Alfie Devine is some player. Be amazed if he doesn’t make more first team appearances this season.

 

Him and White are running the midfield. Both look very good on the ball.

 

Ffs Harvey!

Poor penalty in my opinion.

 

2-2 FT. Pretty disappointing result, rather bizarrely. Much the better team throughout.
White needs to be on penalty practice and let someone else take them.
Promising performance against a Chelsea team that's seen a lot of changes.

 

Should've won that, would've been sweet if Lavinier of all people was able to connect with that chipped through ball, good foot in by their defender though.

Only saw from the second half as was busy during the first but we looked really good. The Chelsea commentators kept mentioning scouts were in the crowd looking for loans, be surprised if Markanday, Bennett, White and Lavinier don't have any offers based on what they would've seen today.

 

Markanday 1-2

Bennett 2-2

 

The first goal came just after the commentators had been talking about Lavinier switching to left-back.
They felt that he wasn't going to be as threatening going forward as Sessegnon and it would help them.
Oops!

Can't knock them overall, though. They were pretty fair, considering it was Chelsea's Youtube channel.
I've watched more biased Sky matches.

I've slagged Rose off quite a lot and quite justifiably too, I think, but fair play to him for this.
Seems to have really embraced his time with the academy players and he's still supporting them.
Good for him. Probably literally, in terms of where his head was at.

 

He’s finding his stride, League One isn’t ready for a guy with a point to prove.


Sounds like he’s got an assist too:


Edit: And I realised I’ve posted this in the wrong thread

 

U18s are 2-1 down at HT to Chelsea. Donley pulled one back with a penalty. Two in two games for him now.

 

Donley now been sent off .

4-1 down too, not a great day for the lads.

 

If you think 4 1 is bad, don't look now.

 

just realised my Twitter feed hadn’t refreshed when I looked.

Very, very bad day.

 

A 7-2 defeat… a particular scoreline that ****ing haunts us
