Re: Chelsea Youth & Reserves thread

[Shed]

Former Chelsea youth player McGeehan steps up and buries it in the roof of the net. Referee blows the whistle and Norwich will take a 1-0 lead to Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

Hardly insurmountable but a silly goal to give away considering it was initiated by Ruben Loftus-Cheek miscontrolling a simple pass which put Norwich through.

[Kick]

Thats a real shame, better improve for the home leg.

Reminder that the Chelsea youth lads play the second leg of the FA Youth Cup Final tonight at Stamford Bridge. The Baby Blues will be trying to overturn a 0-1 deficit to Norwich City after a good away performance was spoiled by a last-minute penalty to the Canaries in the first leg 2 weeks ago. Match as usual will be aired live on Chelsea TV.

Come on Baby Blues, I believe you can do it!

Kickoff

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!


Chelsea square the tie up with a brilliant solo run from midfield by Jeremie Boga!!

[Shed]

Own goal from Nditi puts Norwich level

[Shed]

Davey gives away a penalty - the second in this tie

[Shed]

Davey attempts to play around with the ball deep in our own half, Norwich nick it off him, he concedes a penalty and they score. Chelsea now trail 3-1 on aggregate.

HT: Chelsea 1-2 Norwich

Chelsea dominant throughout but after taking the lead on the night through Jeremie Boga, an own goal and a dubiously-awarded penalty have put Norwich in the driving seat. If the Blues are to lift the cup, another of their now-famous comebacks will be needed in the second half.

[Shed]

Norwich score on the counter and with 15 minutes left, Chelsea's defence of the Cup is all but over.

[Shed]

Travelling Norwich fans going ham with their plastic giveaway noisemakers whilst their drunkard chairwoman watches the match from above.

Spoiler:

GOAL!

Boga scores to make it 2-4 on aggregate but with just 3 minutes plus stoppage remaining, it looks meaningless.

[Shed]

FT: Chelsea 2-3 Norwich (2-4 agg.)

The Final proves one comeback too many for the Baby Blues and the Youth Cup will be heading to Carrow Road. Chelsea will feel they played a massive part in their own downfall with an own goal and 2 laughably-awarded penalties putting Norwich in pole position despite Chelsea dominance throughout the 2 legs, but Norwich defended well and were superb on the counter and in the end, deserved their win.

[Kick]

Shame, oh well. We'll win it next year!

Ake wants to emulate Chelsea star Luiz:
http://www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-sport/allsport/2013/05/31/ake-wants-to-emulate-chelsea-star-82029-33410257/

"I think my best position is in the midfield role,” he told the Chronicle. “I started the season at centre back, but changed position in some games and I think my awareness got a little bit better, which is the thing I need to improve."

"I’m more a holding midfielder and I look to David Luiz’s example. Sometimes he says before a game that I should watch how he plays so I can learn from him."

"He had to learn to play in midfield, because he started out at centre back as well."

Too bad the kid won't even get a sniff once Mourinho is appointed.


Ironic that a player who won't have a chance under the new manager is looking to emulate a player the new manager will more than likely looking to get rid of. What a trainwreck.

[iNFINITY9910]

And then you believe all that media stories? You are being a proper hypocrite mate..

[Shed]

I don't believe anything. Just that Luiz is not a Mourinho type player at all and given his recent comments hardly shunning the idea of a move to Barca, him leaving wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

[Kick]

Shed, the ultimate pessimist.
