MCFC U16's

9-0 at U15s is one hell of a beating, especially at academy level.

Going off Mark Kennedy's comments it sounds like the quality of football that this team are playing is unbelievable. Also, three goals from a centre half and 5 assists from a set-piece taking Tommy Doyle suggests we dominated physically too, which would be a first as usually our teams are full of small, quick technical players.

It's getting quite funny now and it actually makes me laugh at how fantastic our academy is. The shite over the road must be frothing at the mouths - and I can't see Nicky Butt having what it takes to close the gap on us anytime soon.

I'm going to make a prediction that all of the following will play for city's first team: Latibeaudiere, Humphreys (in a competitive match), Foden, Sancho, Doyle, Duncan.

I think they'll be more but these would be the ones that I'll hang my hat on.

The response I've seen from United fans so far is - they had loads of players missing, our lads are all 1ft taller, they care about developing players not scorelines and "RASHFORD!!!"

They ignore the fact we could have had players missing too, burying their heads in the sand you can guarantee if the score was the other way round they be giving it loads tossers!

Ha. If we hadn't beaten them 9-0 for the 2nd year running then they may have a leg to stand on.

I think we're about 5 years + away from seeing the true potential of what our academy is churning out. It should be one hell of a ride!

If the club's plans come off then our team will be world class in every sense.

They had one player missing and they are the bigger team. We had one player missing. We even brought on 2 under 14s (Fresh from beating them 6 nil two days before) for 10 mins at the end and scored 2 more (should have been three). One of those 2 has taken part in 3 derbies this year (U14/U15/U16) and won all three.

Not surprised...it's bullshit that they're all much bigger as well isn't it? You can see from footage and team photos of them playing for England at u16, u17, u18 that our lads are not giants.

Our teams usually look small because they play up in the age ranges from U16's and up, I think it's done less at the younger ages because even lads of the same age can differ hugely in size plus the rules and regulations restrict playing/training times more and more the younger you go.

Presumably last years 9-0 victors mostly moved up to the U16's so it's likely 2 entirely different teams that walloped them.

We really should get psycho and beanie back as academy coaches, they wouldn't be far off fulfilling their lifetime ambition of playing 11 goalkeepers at once.

I had to Google Ylli Murtezani just because of the name. This is from 3 years ago when he joined us: :

New talent Kosovo, Murtezani star is a young player of Manchester City. Promising talent from Prizren has reached an agreement with the famous English team which will henceforth be part of the City's academy. Dubbed Albanian Messi, the star was wanted by many European teams. The star was presented to the City today where from this day will be under the supervision of renowned coaches leaving us with rapid hope we will see in the fields of the Premier League since it is a great talent. Murtezani star played for the club in Prizren Kosovo K.F "Winer" but then there was a lot of interest from clubs like Valencia, Arsenal and Manchester City recently.


The 'Albanian Messi', lol, not a phrase you've probably heard before.
