Looked to be the best player on the pitch by a long way. Technically very good, beats men in the middle of the pitch with ease and has an eye for a pass when defenders stand off him. 18s are playing man utd tomorrow so ill assume the 16s are too, might head down and take another look!

Watched Zak Gilsenan play for the U-16s vs Aston Villa on Saturday, i actually went to watch the 18s but thought id see what all the fuss is about. He started in the 10 role then due to a player getting injured moved to the left wing and finished on the right. Was told he is regularly training with the 18s now and got a run out vs Everton a few weeks back. Still only 15 so one to watch in the coming years.

yeah they did, in the international Premier League tournament at Man citys training ground. They lost today against chelsea 1-0. Many of the chelsea lads were from their young under 18s side. So not a bad result considering.

Whilst the media calling any kid with a bit of skill the next messi is crazy, he’s defo one to watch, many players his age take a step down from so called ‘big clubs’ as there is no pathway there. Instead is sitting in an under 23 squad when he is of age at Liverpool he now hopefully will be pushing first team. i know he scored from about 25 yards yesterday and assisted two in a 3-1 win for the under 16s yesterday against Valencia.
