Youf/Academy Thread

Interesting to read in the Independent that United, Chelsea and us have an agreement not to bid against each other for youf players.

And us yesterday as well.

Would have thought they'd try and avoid clashes but seems as if no-one is arsed.

Maybe it's not moved to uphold integrity in the competition and not have the top teams play U21 sides.

This is pretty cool.

Scored 4 this morning. Not sure how long but we'll need to consider first team minutes at some point next season.
Silver lining if we're in Europa.

Hard fought 2-1 win against City in the U18 derby. Fair play to City who dominated the first half and could have scored 2 or 3. 2 moments of class early in the second half for us got us the goals. Then we held on after city scored late. Hannibal Mejbri looks class.

Nice 3-5 win for us over Spurs, we were 5 up at half time. 11 unbeaten to start the season.

Better than expected but I still have my doubts about Abraham as a top striker.

What's xg represent?

Goals that should have been scored?

Xa a pass made that should have resulted in a goal?

Xg = expected goals per 90?

Pretty sure they only use goals that are scored and assists made, not ones that should have been.

So its just goals and assists per 90 minutes?

Yes, thats what the tweet is about.

 

[moomba]

Fair enough. Thought xg was a relatively new thing.

Seems Pulisic has been missed. He'd be just below Tammy

Senior debut for Ireland coming up.

I think everyone does and are waiting for the bubble to burst.

But he just keeps scoring wherever(apart from Swansea) he goes.

Will Poch use him?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Will Poch use him?

Would rather he go tbh and someone else coach him.

He’s wasted Edwards who looked promising. Now in Portugal.
Wasted Onomah. Now in the championship.
Is wasting KWP, who with games and top flight exposure could be our very own TAA...
Skipp and Parrott will be next if we’re not careful.
