Weirdly it's not letting me order tickets now. Baffling. All greyed out but fine for the Celtic game.

Anyone else getting this problem?

tomorrow is general sale for non cityzens, that could be why?

[twosips]

Ah...yes. Didn't read that. My bad.

I think I'm gonna stick to the U18 / Eds threads and off topic until August...

I live in Swansea, and would love to be there but can't. Is it being shown live anywhere ?

in these challenging times, it's always good to know there's someone worse off than you are

[Hazy2]

I will be there, think after this week it would be on the club

Chelsea won the UEFA Youth league final today 3-2 vs shaktar

Chelsea won the UEFA Youth league final today 3-2 vs shaktar

Shaktar did a watered down version of Roma v City on Anderlecht the other day. Not with the same cheating & cynical tactics as Roma, but similarly basically got outclassed at football but won with a couple of nice finishes.

City & Anderlecht were probably the best two sides in that competition, with City being considerably better than Anderlecht.

Can't underestimate Chelsea though can you. Good strong side and they will be a massive test for us in the Youth cup final

Honestly, i think they'll beat us. Now if we had Boadu and Ambrose fit on the other hand...

A full team and I would definitely be confident.Those 2 missing is a blow so I hope Tosin is fit as if he is missing it could be a bigger blow. Still a strong chance with Tosin in, probably Celina in midfield and Buckley up front to give us a proper focal point.

[Ted Hughes]

Without Boadu & Ambrose it's a tough ask to beat Chelsea. They have more flair than most opponents but are still very much one of the sides who favour organisation over inspiration & are also typically dangerous in the air. If Tosin is missing then we have a big problem at the back too.

I would expect us to win both legs if those 3 were available.

Is Ambrose definitely out ? That really is a blow if so.

[twosips]

I think he is out, yep.

I really hope Tosin is back. No chance otherwise in my opinion. I think it'll be something like this.

........................Haug.......................
Maffeo Humphreys Tosin Angelino

...............Wood .... Bryan ..............
Nemane ....... Celina .......... Barker
........................Buckley..................

Perhaps Garcia for Wood. Think Buckley has to start as I don't think Celina as a false 9 works. Personally I'm not hugely keen on Buckley. I really like his attitude and so on but I think he's technically well below Ambrose so it's a huge blow and I think those two being out really upsets the balance.

I agree Buckley needs to start to give the team the right balance and give us a threat in behind the Chelsea defence. The team above looks about right to me with 2 "defensive" midfield players to hopefully give us the platform for the others to attack from. Really looking forward to the game.
