FA Youth Cup 2013

Yeah, was just about to post this. Seems odd to play like this at youth level.

[Tomo 21,751]

Its our own fault, we should have been out of sight by half time at Carrow Road.

Feruz taking some justified bashing by the ITV commentators.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

And that's the tie.

Norwich will win this final, but what are they thinking they achieve with this football? Unless you got drogba and karma on your side you can't be successful with this on senior level. The point about this competition is more developing young players technically than playing agricultural football

They've played to their strengths and deserved the win over the two legs. They're playing as a team and look like a well drilled, well organised side. Deserve respect imo.

This performance reminds me of the dark days under AVB. All bark and no bite!

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Challenge of the season right there!

[LeChuck 22]

Definitely.... Piece of shit would be better than Kevin Wright today.

[DDA 9,924]

Boga has been decent tonight. Feruz finishing had been dreadful.

[Tomo 21,751]

We should try and sign those twins. Would be better than Marin

Out of our team Boga and RLC look the one's with the best chance of breaking through. Feruz needs to sort himself out asap.

of course, but they do their player's development no favour by not letting them play to theri technical potential. you can do this with pros, but with juniors? You have to learn to play before you have to learn to win. In Germany we probably got the best youth work in there is and our youth coaches do not give a shit about trophies. First priority is always to play cultivated, technical football.

I agree, although I haven't seen enough of this Norwich team to know if they're capable of playing another way. On the evidence of the two legs, it looks like they've had a game plan that you can't deny has worked. They've utilised their wingers well and their organisation has been great. Who knows, they may be this one-dimensional all season long though!

There's no doubt that our players are the technically superior side and are surely likely to be more successful in the long run. But they've been wasteful and haven't been able to cope with Norwich on the counter.

Another one bites the dust. No complaints.
