EDS/Academy Games

[Wonderwall]

Its all City, Brahim running the show and Nmecha is awesome as well. Its a matter of time before No2 goes in

[Wonderwall]

HT, City are in easy control of this, but they have to be careful as Utd look direct and have threatened on the break. We should put this to bed but I think the sending off has galvanised Utd rather than hindering them.

[Wonderwall]

Strange HT change, Hunphreys off, he didnt look injured and was solid, but he wasnt under threat either for most of the half. Will be interesting to see this, Kigbu has replaced Humphreys

[Wonderwall]

Kigbu almost scored from a corner, would have been an emphatic introduction.
This kid had a choice between un and the Rags and chose us, he is only 16 and looks a good prospect.

[Wonderwall]

Kongolo with a chance and he should have done better but he skied it.

Its all City

[john@staustell]

Sounds very much like the first team to me. All possession but no cunt can score.

[Wonderwall]

Nmecha just missed a golden opportunity, City are being very wasteful, reminds me of the 1st team

haha Ditto, didnt see this :-)

2-0. About time

[Wonderwall]

35 yards from our goal? That's progress for them isn't it. At least progress on their first team.

[Wonderwall]

diaz is a special player, very special indeed

[john@staustell]

The RAG reporter is distinctly pissed off feeding the text report. However the daft cunt said he's really impressed with the academy. Said he's never been before. Can you believe that? Local sports reporter never been there? How the fuck can he have any idea what he is talking about?

[Wonderwall]

I hope we will get another one before the end. its all city, shame we couldnt give a spanking. the scoreline flatters them

[Wonderwall]

all over, City gave them a lesson in football, some very nice football on display, but very wasteful in front of goal. Maybe a bit of complacency with us having the lead and them down to 10 men.

[john@staustell]

At least we are 39 points or whatever ahead of the twats!!

We bossed the game from start to finish and our keeper could have been reading the Beano all game for all the work he had to do.How it was only 2 nil is a mystery but I suppose part of it is that we didn't actually play very well. A bit complacent from the start if you ask me but we did miss some absolute sitters which would have given the scoreline a more realistic scoreline like 4 , 5 or 6.

One of the rare games where the opposition looked smaller over all than City but apart from working quite hard and being reasonably organised defensively Utd were awful. I liked much of what Nmecha did today. He seemed to have the measure of any defender given the task of marking him so a bit of a surprise he only scored one.

I think Brahim looked better playing from wide and gave the full back a torrid time. (was that full back a bit on the heavy side?) Pretty well all our players looked pretty good although maybe not fully at their best. I liked Sarmiento again. Full of good running, key in Brahim's goal, and again looking technically superb. Obviously totally untested today defensively.

Wouldn't it be cool if they had some sort of relay race, where you pitch 2 teams in turn consisting of 4 teams against each other, and each team gets to play 22,5 minutes each? No it wouldn't but it sounded cool when I started this post and I'm not going to let it go to waste.
