Aynone can say something more how is Palmer playing this season? Last year he was scoring some screamers but overall people was saying he is not as good as our other young stars (Boga, Solanke, Musonda etc) How about this year?

He has been fantastic this season. He admitted himself that he was disappointed with how he performed last season as a whole. He has been a completely different story this season. Fantastic virtually every game for U19/U21. 15 goals for a player who is not a striker and does not take penalties says it all. Been fantastic. Will not be surprised to see him make his first team debut by some point come end of the season.

What is his exact position, who would you compare him to?

IMO better than Josh McEachran in his early days here.

Let's not go there . It feels much sooner than it's been when he was strongly touted as our next academy player to make it..

Was glancing at the game while working on the pc. This lot would humiliate our first XI.

Yet Courtois moans that he has to train with them !

He plays as a number 10. Can equally play out wide as well. I would say he is very similar to KDB tbh. Both have very good technique, both are no.10 who can also play out wide and both in rare cases can also do a job in the centre of midfield. Be very interesting to see his next step next season. Hopefully he can get a good loan move somewhere. Wonder if it will be in the Championship or Vitesse.

Semifinal in 13/14, Winner in 14/15, Final (so far) in 15/16. Consecutive 5 FA youth cup finals (winning 3). And yet no player in the starting 11 and just 1 in the squad.

In fact it was a quarter-final in 2013/14 and a right mess up too. We somehow managed to go out to a side we had beaten home and away in the group stage.

Also it's 3 wins out of 5 so far. If we get past City it will be 4 out of 5.

Let's see if any of the current crop make the grade. It was pleasing to see Jake look so impressive today. You'd expect a player with first team potential to look a cut above at this level, and he did. Ola was good too and Jay looks like he's spent the time he's been out injured in the gym.

So we will play PSG. They deserved it over the 90 mins. They have a very powerful team and probably more powerful than our team. I think the fact they were developed more than Real Madrid physically wise influenced things today. They impressed me though. Couple players for them have started for PSG's first team and featured quite a bit over the season for the first team. Jean Kevin-Agustin and Christopher Nkunu. You can see why as well. Both were very impressive. Nkunu for me was the best player on the pitch.

Should be a very tight game on Monday. Looking forward to it.

Is he creative enough to play as a no.10 because KDB is on a different planet when it comes to creativitiy

In youth level, yes in some aspects. He is great when he is on the ball and seeing the bigger picture. He will have a long, long, long way to come to the level of KDB though.

A small bright spot this season. Hopefully, they can regain the trophy
