Tavares would probably be our second most technically gifted CM behind Tielemans if he was in the first team.

 

Ok maybe that was a bit over the top, but the lad was on a different level to everyone else tonight 

I presume you mean he was on a different level to the rest of his LCFC team -mates as he certainly wasn't on a different level to Ryan Cassidy and Sonny Blu-Lo Everton who were both absolutely outstanding for Watford (Everton is only 16!)

 

Tavares looks a seriously gifted and elegant talent but I wish he would be more involved in the game at times as he only really started to influence the game when they made a tactical substitution in the 2nd half and pushed him deeper into a playmaking role.

I thought he was far more influential playing in the deeper CDM than he was a No.10

Just seen highlights from our game last night (the FA Youth cup one!)

 

Seems like our goalie did have a blinder but your number 11 looked good.

 

Also our number 9 is probably our best attacking prospect for some time.

 

All no doubt will be poached by a big top 6 soon enough. 

Your observations are absolutely spot-on!

 

I watched the game and your no.9 was superb.  Great composure in front of goal!  Hugely impressed.

Your boys were under huge pressure in the 2nd half and when we equalised I could only see one winner....and it wasn't Watford....so 10/10 for the resilience and character your boys showed under such enormous pressure.

 

Reason LCFC didn't win is because your Keeper had an absolute blinder...and what a superb prospect Blu-Lo Everton looks for a 16 year-old. So good technically that he I assumed he was Spanish....until I googled him and saw he was Scottish!!!!   

Who would have known with a name like that...?!?  :)

 

(PS LCFCs Arlott-John, Tavares and Ewing all had excellent games also and Arlott-JOhn could easily have had a hat-trick on any other day..... if not for your keeper!)

..I watched the Forest game for the U23s   and was impressed with Dewsbury-Hall.

  He always seems to be looking for the hollywood ball or scoring a worldie but this time he played a more mature role and was a stand out player in our midfield. Composed on the ball looked to dictate the play and recycled the ball well.

   I am not certain if it was the fact that Brendan Rogers was in attendance or he has finally matured into a player who should be on the bench for the first team. Tielemans occupies the position at the moment but there is perhaps an opportunity to be used as a replacement for when Tielemans is pulled after 65 minutes.

 I suspect perhaps the biggest changes we will see with Rogers in charge will be on the bench,Muskwe is a good option with Ndukwu another possibility.

The jury is still out on Muskwe IMO, would like to see him keep his current form for a few more months but there's definitely potential there.

 

Ndukwu is class and if he can steer clear of injury I think it would be the right time to blood him into the first team. If he can't make it now I don't think he ever will. When he's on form he's heads and shoulders above any thing in the development squad/league.

If he hadn't only just come back from injury then I'd agree with you, in the circumstances though I'd say its a bit harsh to say if he doesn't make it now then he never will when he's only played a game and a half in 3 months. Needs time to play himself back into form before stepping up

Dempsey Arlott-John has scored for the U18's currently 1-1 against Fulham

No Tavares or Thomas in the squad https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2019/03/02/england/premier-academy-league/fulham-fc-u18-academy/leicester-city-fc-under-18-academy/2881363/

Looks like we lost 2-1.

 

Assume Thomas is being rested so he can feature in the u23s, I think they play tomorrow??  Maybe Tavares will join him in the u23s

Make Sure to follow Man Citys Twitter feed for all things LCFC U-23! 

 

Total lack of respect for our U-23s just because the senior team is playing!

 

Some of us were actually hoping (planning) to watch this!

Whole Day Ruined!
