ACL Elite vs Shanghai Shenhua

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

COYY!

Great character! Well done boys.
Improvements across the board for a lot of players, well done to the kids, hopefully given Jacko something to think about. Just a real distinct lack of leadership on the field, Sains can't come back fast enough.

Just going to point out we won that corner off a switch from Wilson. Sure he lost the ball a few times but he was trying to make stuff happen

Forgot brandtman was out there tbh. He was pretty anonymous until the last minute.

English commentator constantly slagging us off. Mate we dominated the first half, they didn't have a shot on target, and we also had most of the possession bloke is delusional.

I wonder if it's instructions to soak up pressure for the 1st half and then just go for it post 60 minutes?

Won 1-0 with Alfie on the bench too by the same logic.

Within 3 points of a top 8 spot now too!

The spirit is still there. That counts for so much.
We will be fine.

Very very encouraging performance, significant improvement against a strong opposition.

Sadly I'm going to have to concede Ngor over Kuol.

This is a positive post. R U OK?

Isn't he too young to sell? I remember something about that with Garang.

Agreed, I certainly miss Vuka's booming voice.

And how has Wilson gotten his 45th chance?

Brownnosing?.

OK guys time for a reality check.

We had a team of promising young players against a a top Asian side.
Who were the old heads in our team?
Kaltak, our captain who got his first pro contract the year before last?
Doka, probably the only one you could say who is experienced and never stopped running all night?
Apart from that we had a bunch of kids shoved into a position of responsibility well before they were ready and they made mistakes, took wrong options, were sometimes out of position and never stopped trying.

I thought they were wonderful in spite of all their faults.

I saw lots of individual improvements and a ton of potential.

This is what this season is going to be all about. Get used to it and enjoy it rather than picking faults.
Think about it, some are asking for a 16year old to be our attacking playmaker. That is wonderful, but be prepared to take the errors with the brilliance.
These young players are going to have to be strong and need support so that they are not overwhelmed by the task.

If you’re good enough then you’re old enough imo.

Dude, it's 9:40pm at night, I've had a few while watching us come back from the brink - yes or no!

I think they can sign but can't move until they are 18.
Irankunda couldn't go to Bayern until he was that old
