I saw the last 5 minutes and penalties, it was more exciting than Wigan game.
Fearing playing Rags.Rags or dippers in the next round.
I agree.It was a piss poor game with very little conviction or desire to win.This may be an unpopular opinion but I watched the second half and penalties and thought the kids from the first team looked compeltely disinterested. Brahim especially seemed very "economical" with his running, and seemed far less keen to get on the ball than he used to last season and the season before. Lukas Nmecha and Foden were coming back from injuries so perhaps have an excuse but I thought both looked a bit...passive, like they were going through the motions. At the very end, Lukas and Brahim started showing some urgency but only in little glimpses compared to what we used to see from them at this level. They were night and day to the likes of Bolton, Matondo, Smith and Nmecha jr. when he came on.
I was thinking that before the penalties, and then all 3 put in some shockingly casual attempts which all missed.
It's understandable that after making first team and champions league debuts, training every day with Pep & co. that being shunted back down to the EDS with Davies is underwhelming, and the stakes of winning a Youth League game no longer seem all that big, but if they aren't 100% up for it then it'd be better for everyone if they sat it out.

Diaz and Foden,both who are now first team squad members,should have taken that game by the scruff of the neck and inspired their teammates to a convincing display.The entire team just appeared to be going through the motions and the penalty efforts were a disgrace.
I think Davies is responsible for much of the spirit within the camp,he hardly portrays enthusiasm,wisdom or confidence.
Spuds v Monaco just going to penalty’s
