      He’s fighting for his position right now and I’m loving every second of it.

          He looks nothing like a 16 year old. What are they feeding them over at Hale End? Lol

      Even if he doesn’t stand out, it’s amazing if at 16 he’s not out of place in a team of 24 year old internationals.

    I get the idea that the club is more important than the player, and for that reason the German teams have the team name above the number and the player name below. But, that doesn’t seem to take into account how cameras often frame their shots, where the bottom part of the shirt isn’t visible.

      Same here, I think with our signing we are definitely in need of letting some players go but his potential for the club would be incredible.

    Tierney is defensively sound. We’ll need him at left back when Zinchenko can’t keep up.

      Hmm, but it doesn’t seem to sort in chronological order. Your comment is currently at the top for me, above a comment from 4 minutes later, which is above another comment from 3 minutes after that.

        Yep, you’re right, he was on the far side of the pitch in the sun so it was hard to see. Edited.

      And just as I typed that in, another round of subs. Nwanieri 63 for Vieira and Trusty 32 for Gabriel.

      @Astrealix We got a 16 year running around with the big boys. Absolutely loving this. It’s amazing to see how not only are we making large signings but also having such a promising youth base.

        Technically 2 16 year olds rn but tbf they’ve also swapped out the whole team p much; wasn’t the case when Nwaneri got on tho

      I’m interested to see how, or if, Timber changes things. Will he invert?

        And if he does, does that mean both fullbacks are inverting, or does the left fullback go wide if the right fullback inverts?

    Myles Lewis-Skelly (playing wearing 59) is only 16 and also doesn’t look out of place in this team.

      Yeah but this is after they’ve rotated too, so not as significant haha
