Stansfield NOWHERE NEAR good enough.  Can't hold the ball up.  Doesn't run

I think it is partly due to the age cut out where you have 23 year olds playing, but its strange in that very few of those players I look at and expect many if any caps in the senior team. Our stand outs at those ages have already bypassed this age group.

Livramento should get a decent amount of caps but even then, Trent is ahead. Elliott has a lot of competition and he is stand out for the under 21s. One or two others might such as Anderson, but equally the likes of Stansfield, Beadle and Cresswell would do well to get any caps.

We don’t want penalties 🙈

Stansfield will be lucky to get any more under 21 caps. He's shit

He's another small #9 playing upfront on his own.

It's what I fear will happen to Leonard and has happened to Ohashi all season - they just don't impact the game enough. You have to be lightning quick, or incredibly intelligent at their size playing against two big CBs.

A few of them look streets ahead of their colleagues. 

Interesting that Liverpool are selling Quansah - a young, talented, English CB. With the Champions League registration rules you'd think they'd hold onto him for dear life. 

Anderson won't be at Forest for long, he's fantastic.

Exactly.  You either need to be the build of this German forward or a Bellamy to be able to be effective on your own.

Buy back clause within sale apparently.

Drogba is the prototype for me in these systems. Obviously there aren't many of him knocking about!

[Penwortham Blue]

We seem to be playing the whole match without a proper CF, have we no one in that mould on the bench ?

Wont he be too old, in which case he would be very lucky to get more caps.

The purpose of this tournament is development though. 

The club world cup feels like overkill and unnecessary but understandable why players choose to play in that over under age football.

Who is missing, Delap, Gittens and Bellingham or are there more?

[roverandout]

If we had delap playing the trophy would be ours now

8 or 9. Delap gittens branthwaite Bellingham Harwood-Bellis Trafford Wharton

I like that Norton Cuffy, I remember him plying at Ewood when the keeper’s punched goal in 90+4 gave them our play off place. Cheating twats, never forgive them !

Got subbed on for our only CF though and appears to be playing RW - so that was odd. 

[Penwortham Blue]

Would have Mcatee off, been too wasteful and looks physically all out.

Absolutely fallen apart since Morton came on.

I meant specifically because of the club world cup.

I’m surprised how slow he is. Rhodes level of pace, which is why the Championship was his level.

If we lose this it’s because Scott had to go off to be replaced by the weak Morton.

3-2

Well that and because they had this Arsenal CF on the bench, but only decided to play him in ET.

Absurdly good ball in from Morton

[davulsukur]

Morton puts in a superb cross for that 3rd 👌
