seems they are doing well

Someone has an idea why musonda aint playing tho? Too young/not good enough or?

A midfield of Baker & RLC is a lot more solid. Musonda still has quite a bit to go before forcing his way to the starting line up.

Shouldn't feel relaxed about this until we get a third, imo.

I followed Juve for a bit last season and I noticed they invested a lot of time & money in their youth. I'd have to rate them amongst the top 5 youth teams in Europe alongside Ajax, Barcelona, ourselves & Arsenal/Man City/Man United/etc. Surprised this seems so easy (so far).

Baker and boga look head and shoulders above everybody.

Btw, is this the first QF match or has any of the other three been played already?

You're really underestimating the CFC youth academy then. These are the same lads that beat Barcelona 2 - 0 a couple weeks ago to get to this stage. Abramovich has invested a lot into the youth academy himself.

[Stats 6,980]

What a goal from our Cazorla! Bang!

[Steve 10,227]

Stunning performance by the lads. Very impressed!!

I think Baker is our best English midfielder in the youth ranks (aside from Chalobah/McEachran if they count) followed by Loftus-Cheek. Baker reminds me of Lampard...and Wise...and even Cazorla in some ways. It's really odd. He's versatile. L-Cheek reminds me of Essien/Ballack. Heh. Hope at least one of them becomes a PL player.

Yeh hopefully one of them becomes a PL player at Chelsea...don't want another case of Jack Cork...who is thriving at Southampton..

it would be sensational if we were to win this, we'd get the praise we deserve for our youth system
