Norwich: Britt; Norman, McFadden, Toffolo, Wyatt; McGeehan (c); King, Randall; Jacob Murphy, Morris, Josh Murphy. Players to watch out for are mainly our front three. The Murphy twins are a couple of greedy pacey wingers, like Raheem Sterling if he refused to pass to anyone he wasn't related to, and Carlton Morris up front, a big target man lad who looks like Grant Holt and Vincent Kompany had a baby.

Chelsea have had a couple chances but it's still 0-0 at the half.

Yeah pretty good half. Chelsea dominating possession and chances but we look dangerous on the counter, Chels defence having trouble dealing with the Murphys.

Cracking game this, Chelsea with more chances and possession but Norwich are now 3-1 up on aggregate. Got a bit of everything, own goal, soft penalty, goal line clearances.

Good game that, Norwich' striker looks the real deal but the Murphy's have a bit of Cherno Samba about them. Far too good for this level but absolutely no brain, despite their goals I thought they weren't great. Chelsea, however, were loving pathetic. A bunch of technically talented individuals with no team cohesion and their coach should be shot into the sun with Feruz.

Agreed on Carlton Morris (our striker) I think he and our captain McGeehan are the two who have the biggest chance of making it professionally. The Murphy twins clearly have the most talent but they still have that mentality of being the kids who are better than everyone else, leading them to make silly decisions like trying to skin entire teams on their own.

Yes, fire him into the sun for making the cup final. Poor performance indeed, but a great effort to make 2/2 youth cup final appearances.

rats off to ya posted:Yes, fire him into the sun for making the cup final. Poor performance indeed, but a great effort to make 2/2 youth cup final appearances. I completely reject your sarcasm. Chelsea had by far the better players and were by far the worse team, they've obviously been built on flair players soloing a team and I can't see any of them making it professional because of it, which is a shame. Blue Screen Error posted:The Murphy twins clearly have the most talent but they still have that mentality of being the kids who are better than everyone else, leading them to make silly decisions like trying to skin entire teams on their own. Yeah, you could see that. Several of their chances should have been squared to Morris or another runner. Maybe they'll grow out of it but at the moment they've got a long way to go mentally. They also need to learn to pull the trigger early if they're going to at all, the amount of last ditch tackles and blocks was getting silly.

The England Under-21s squad for the Euros has been announced:quote:GOALKEEPERS Good to see McManaman get a chance to do some tasty dribbles on the international stage, and also good to see that future Norwich superstar Thomas 'The Tank' Lees keeps his place, even if Pearce loves inexplicably playing him in midfield like he did with Michael Mancienne. No call up for literal best left-back in England Sam Byram though. Not sure why Connor Wickham (2 goals in 18 games this season) is going but there you go.

Players who are eligible to take part at the start of the competition will be eligible until the end of the competition. The national associations are responsible for the strict observation of this provision. basically if you can play in the qualifiers you can play in the tournament. Makes sense I guess.
