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

Seems our youth system is really good. People from other forums have been talking about how good our youth looks. Too bad we always buy and buy

And yet there are Chelsea fans who are saying that we overhype our youth players, despite all the success of our youth teams in the last years.

This team, these lads are our future. Shame they'll end up at other clubs instead of here, where they belong.

Yes, you are right, however the youth team should already have praise. We have won the youth cup like 3 times in the last 4/5 years and we are a leading contender to win it again.

All the goals

Phenomenal result and another sign that we've got something special happening at our club. Beating the likes of Barca and Juventus, progressing in the Youth Cup and seeing players getting playing time on loan is all encouraging for our future.

The number of times I've been impressed by Lewis Baker's impact is surprising. Thought he was a step below the likes of Feruz but he's really stepped up his game. Still not convinced he'll succeed here but if he continues the way he has been, who knows?
