Very professional throughout. The 3 half time subs were sensible and once they got into the game we continued to dominate. Dragusin injury is typical of our luck but it's who we are mate. The three goal scorers were a real positive. Hopefully they'll all get more minutes so that they can fulfil their obvious potential. Really glad we don't have two additional games!
I think for 70 mins I could’ve genuinely fallen asleep. But by the final whistle I had probably the biggest buzz for months from watching us. Nothing better than seeing an academy player score and to have three was great, especially Damola on his debut. I’ve advocated for and bemoaned the fact Ange hasn’t used them enough this season, hopefully he’s now realised he can count on on our academy. Young players tend to play without fear, they also don’t feel the pressure senior ones do and the form of the first team probably only Spurs them on (see what I did there) to actually come in and impact it. The fact our academy has been superb the last couple years is a further reason to tap into it.
Wasn't sure whether I should post this here on in Academy Watch. Mikey Moore broke the record to become the youngest English goalscorer in a major European competition. Who held it? Jimmy Greaves.
With our injury issues this season, are we sure we wanted all our scorers doing knee slides to celebrate?
