MCFC U-18's

The front 3 just didn't work together and Palmer has wonderful feet but final pass is very poor. Corrigan and especially Hodges were good. Hodges is a cracking little player. Braaf is a weird one he could go either way. Has a lot of skill but wild with his shooting and decision making. Knight is a lovely little player as well but today seemed to get frustrated with braaf & Simmonds. Ogunby looked bright and wright Phillips had a good cameo but needs to not go after the ref as much. Thought bobby Duncan looked poorer the when he was at city. Relies on his size and speed more than the technique I thought he had.
Agree with most of it, but I think Corrigan was quite poor. Gave away the ball too often, was easily beaten 1vs1 and his crossing was not very good either

Fair point I just enjoyed his balls for trying to force a splitting pass. On another day 2/3 come off and causes havoc. Plus he always wants to pass forward, think he might be a player in another 2 seasons.
 
Was quite fascinating to see how similar the teams were to the first teams. City with their playing out from the back and Liverpools high press, and not to mention the luck and all the ref decisions on their side

If Corrigan makes it at City level or even prem level at all I would be staggered. Efforts there but as you say he isn't a great defender and does give the ball away too often. Plus he moans at the officials waaay too much. That sarcastic walk forward to measure the wall properly ( even tho he was right) could easily get a booking from some refs and he had already been booked.

Love watching Hodge play and there is no doubt he has impressed me more than Gomez. But I think there is a lot more to come from Gomez. I also like the look of Harwood -Bellis. Really good to have a big lad at center back who really knows what he is doing.

Agree about Bellis, even though his passing today was not quite up to his standard. Only 16 but has been very impressive for the U19s and U23s when I've seen him. Already rate him higher than Humphreys, Latibeaudiere and Tosin. Feel pretty confident that at least one of Bellis and Garcia will make the first team in a couple years
 
Is there a way to stream any of the u18 and EDS games? I live in the USA so it's hard to keep up with youth performances. City should really have something for the academy games.
 
Drew with Blackburn 1-1 today. Cole Palmer scored the goal. Lots of players were absent due to national duty

I'm in the same situation as you. Sometimes I can find a stream, but it really annoys me that the club doesn't broadcast anything. Last season they had it live on their Facebook a couple times, but not this season. I can usually find streams for Uefa Youth League and games against the dippers and the rags (since they have their own tv-channel where they broadcast EDS and academy games), but anything else is just a bonus. If I find a stream some time, I'll try to remember and PM you, since links are not allowed on the forums
