FA Youth Cup Semi v Chavs

[mcdowell42]

We just had a corner ,10 secs later its in our gks hands seems familiar

[Ultimatum94]

Matt Macey looks like a bright prospect

But mind you Szceszny will probably hold the fort for the next 15 years

Just like watching the seniors of the respective teams. Tip-tap-tip-tap lose possession they're all over us.

We are toss. Our youth teams are rubbish these days. Every time I see AFC giving live twitter updates on their matches we seem to be losing.

[mcdowell42]

It will be interesting to see wht time the subs are made.

Yep get the ball up to the opposition box, then delay, dilly dally don't shoot when you get the chance.

Didn't always used to be, the 09/10 team were the best in the country winning the Academy league and cup.They had a mixture of physical players like Sunnu,Emanuel-Thomas, a decent well marshalled backline and good midfielders like Lansbury,Jack and guy now in Germany whose name escapes me.

That team was decent and most of that team is making a career mostly in the top 2 leagues, here and in Sunnu for Lorient/Etienne I forget which.

This lot may have all the technical ability in the world but are infected by the same lethargic disease of the seniors, paceless,slow in attack,too f**king ponderous on the ball and overcommitting before losing the ball.

It's a f**king cancer and I am starting to wonder how much longer we have to stomach this sh*te.

When you are shouting at the kids in some meaningless bo**ocks game then it's time to find something else to do...Iron Man in on Film 4 at 9pm.

I had tickets for this but thankfully I got home too late to go. I spend enough time watching senior dross.

Who is the arsenal no 10

[Ultimatum94]

The lack of tactics and know how that permeates from 1st team to this level is actually scary...

[Ultimatum94]

Who is the arsenal no 10

The famous Jack Jebb

[mcdowell42]

Famous for wht ,at the min hes a complete passenger

[topgoon]

Famous for what ,at the min he's a complete passenger

He's been miles better in previous games, having a bit of a mare tonight though.

How did the best counter attacking team in the league back in early noughties become this slow , walking pace bo**ocks

[mcdowell42]

Jack wilshere at ht was interviewed and said its all about player devolopment,clark carlisle commentating made the point it also has to be about winning as well.

[mcdowell42]

Josh vickers after conceding a dreadful goal ,has played very well since just pulled off a great save could,have been 2-0 .as for the rest of the team there is no urgency no passion just going thru the motions

[mcdowell42]

When you need 2 goals to bring the game to xtra time why the fuck do u wait till the 85th min to make your last sub.
