FA Youth Cup Final 1st leg

[Skoorb]

Good luck to the City young ones in their quest for silverware :026:

Academy Director Mark Allen believes City fans can help the U18s over the line in Friday’s FA Youth Cup final first leg at the Academy Stadium.

A capacity crowd is expected for the 7.45pm kick off and Allen states that the supporters on the night can be the difference ahead of the second leg.

You beat me to it Dubs, was just about post the same link.

One name leapt out at me , and his City heritage is excellent.

Tommy Doyle , with Mike and Glyn Pardoe in his lineage should be a gem.

 

[Bluedub]

Imagine him being our midfield general in ten years time, the stuff dreams are made of.

We need a lead in the first leg, Chelsea may be struggling in the League but they have some really good youngster like we have.

Riaz is excellent if not greedy at times, but looks like the star everybody says.

Cameron Humphreys excellent if he works hard, good Captain has the respect of his colleagues

Garcia, I think we have all seen Garcia play and is a good prospect for making the first team on a regular basis.

[Buzz Lightyear]

We're off

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Looks a decent crowd

 

[citizhun]

Looks like the whole first team squad are there to cheer the lads on :001:

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Both teams easing themselves into the game, with Chelsea making the better start

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Good attack by Chelsea but saved by Grimshaw in City's goal

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Brilliant pressing by Chelsea keeping City tied up in their own penalty area

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

City starting to show themselves but no chances yet

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Chelsea hit the bar with a cross that Grimshaw thought was going over, cleared

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Still 0-0 20 gone

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

City not pressing as they should allowing Chelsea to mount attack after attack, and when we get the ball we lose it too easily

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

City reporting 7 Mancunians in the starting side tonight

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

City had great opportunity to score but good save Chelsea
