Horrible how Lukaku went after that ball which was clear going in just to have his name on the scoring board.
That said, don't we have anyone like him in our academy? If not, why do we still have any EDS?

Tom Davies will likely disappear down the leagues. He ain't that good but fits in well for a sort of dogs of war approach.We have many better than him in our youth teams.

But no matter how promising they look, they just aren't getting a look in. That's what frustrates me the most.

Just been beaten 4-0 by a team which included a youngster - who also scored - yet none our many better youths can get anywhere near the team?

Two youngsters that's scored. One on his debut that's never played with his teammates before.
