U23s update:
We won 2-0 against Chelsea on Monday and it was a very good performance from the boys.
This was the lineup:
Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Lovren (N Phillips), Randall (Whelan), Stewart, Virtue (J Williams), Grujic, Wilson, Ojo, Brewster
The goals came from Harry Wilson with a very good penalty and Trent AA with a lovely free kick. The penalty was also won by Trent who ended up being man of the match. He was phenomenal and that's not the first time this season, he has also showed quality and composure when he's stepped up to the first team. It's all about how good he wants to become from here in my opinion. If he has a good attitude, he will constantly be looking to improve which is the way to the top really.
Lovren played 75 minutes so you'd think he'll come into the team against city this weekend. Gomez got another 90 minutes in, he's certainly getting back to his best now.
Wilson's goal was his 25th of the season and goodness knows how many assists he has to go with the goals! Shoutout to Brewster and Ojo as well for their performances and also Grujic for a strong showing and getting back to fitness.
The next game is against Southampton on the 10th of April (there may be a friendly scheduled but I haven't heard anything) .
I mentioned about the u18s being in the play offs and they drew their first game against Man United 2-2 and that is a good result as we were down to 10 men for a long time I believe and we grabbed a very late equaliser.

DaRedmen I had an idea the other day of doing a weekly post but I feel you could be much more suited for the role!

My idea was to do a weekly review of a youth player adding their basic background their performances this season what their strengths and weaknesses are and if they will make it into the first team?

That's a good idea southern red, I've got a busy few months right now but I could probably do it at the end of the season.

Sounds like we had a very strong team out against Chelsea, it's good to hear these names associated with our first team squad too let's just hope a few of them can break in and become established member. Surely TAA must be knocking on the door for a first team start!
