City v Napoli Youth Game

Matondo just casually bulldozing through, somehow replaced one english prospect with another so quickly.

Edit: Actually I think he's Welsh nvm.

Why wasn't Diaz called up for Spain u-17s? Too old?

3 - 1. Full time. Good show but the passing was erratic at times. Diaz looks like he might train on to be a first teamer. Missed Foden, he is deffo the pick of this bunch

3-1 Full Time.

Because he was called up for U21's earlier in the year, I don't think they make players play down if they've gone up.

Good result plus we had 3 players missing on International duty

Very undisciplined defensively, but this side look good going forward.

Who are the fullbacks? Not been impressed with them at all, also Matt Smith looks good.

Edit: I think it's 3 at the back with wingers in wingback position? If so, not surprised by the defensive frailty.

I only watched second half but it looked like Smith & Davenport as fullbacks but both of them are midfielders.

Brahim is born in -99 so he isn't eligible for this years U17s as the earliest date is 1 January 2000. He played for the U19's before this summer and was called up for the U21's recently.

Some of the football from City is terrific but they could do with a much slicker surface. I take it this pitch is designed to suit the women?

Why would it be different?
