City V Chelsea

[cleavers]

Given their ages, and lack of experience, I thought they were OK, and probably deserved a point, but it's part of a large learning curve for them.

We were poor but we were missing arguably our 3 best players in O’Reilly, Ndala and Dada-Mascoll. That would be like taking Bobb, Mebude and Charles out of last seasons team.

Considering they’re the 2 oldest, Hamilton and Adam both massively flatter to deceive whenever I watch them

Odd that the age profile of this year's cohort has not been managed better - really short on experience.

I think that's just it, we had a fewer older king pins last year, like Shay Charles, Bobb, kotongo strong. Some of these barely look like pros let alone future city players. As said previously we have Dada Mascoll and Ndala to come back, maybe these 2 signings will get in too but we need more quality

Didn’t realise the Chelsea scorer was 21. I know it’s an U21 league but it seems silly that he’s still playing at this level and has never been on loan anywhere

Played some decent football but we lacked the killer instinct and aggression that would have seen us come out on top.Our decision making in the final third also needs to improve.

As previous......all good learning experience for the youngsters that were available.
