On a plate :)

And even if they might not be prem level (best league in the world), there's no shame in ONLY being good enough to play in the 3rd or 4th best league (Serie A & Bundesliga) on earth. Sell them for 10-20 million pounds. I would love to have more home grown players in the 1st team, though. Especially now that we have a team identity so training can be really focused on developing the types of players we want at each position.

Sousa, Patino, Norton Cuffy, Nwaneri , Duberry (and Azeez maybe a lesser extent) all so exciting. Love seeing academy players making it into the first team.. would be awesome if they make it and can add that to Saka ESR and Eddie and have that many in the first team. Looks to me like Patino will definitely make it, prob Sousa too...Nwaneri still so young but looks amazing, and Cuffy is excellent but depends if he can do inverted role otherwise he will make a great RB for someone. Even if just a couple of those make it (Patino and Sousa my best guess, if we're talking regular starters) we could feasibly have 4 or 5 out of 11 starters being academy players .. how awesome is that?

@@sco9616don’t forget sagoe jr as well

I guess passing is not in that kid's vocabulary ... somebody needs to sit him down and stress the importance of passing the ball to teammate if he's going to make it to the next level. They won that game because of the beautiful pass the leftback made in the added time. That pass was more beautiful than the goal.

My thoughts exactly.

My exact sentiments

another saka incoming

Exactly. But he needs a coach to turn him to a beast. He mostly not aware of his surroundings. If he had, he would created many open chances for others to score.

@@GoldenAwakenin Truth. I Guess Jack Wilshere will give him some good advice. Also, hopefully, Arteta will one day guide him :-)

That is Cozier-Duberry. Already he has been on the bench a few times for the first team. Very soon you will be seeing him more.

WAS IT A PENALTY?

@@GranvilleHawke A clear penalty wasn't given though so it balances itself.

I think Patino is clearly the next one from the academy tbf.. he is older & he is playing great on loan.. debate if he is 8 or 6 but he is playing real deep for Blackpool and looks good doing it.. we also heavily linked with Declan Rice who is one of the best no6 in the entire league and supposedly agreed terms already and is a big fan of Arteta, plus he only has a year left so fee shouldn't be an issue this time. So, I don't really think we need one that desperately.. nonetheless skelly looked good in there and its always good to have more coming through. There is Azeez as well who I haven't been following so much this last year or so but I imagine he is ahead of Skelly as well? He also may be an 8, im not sure..

@@sco9616 we have an aging midfield by the team these kids are ready partey Jorginho elneny and xhaka will all be 33-35. Even if we sign rice and caicedo.

@@leechesplays4925 I see Rice or Caicedo coming in the summer.. Xhaka getting a new deal and retiring at the club.. both Partey and Xhaka have a couple more years in them and Patino will be ready by then if not before (possibly Azeez tho im not sure how good he is looking at the moment). Rice Odegaard and Patino looks good midfield to me. Obviously other signings likely over the next few years and then maybe Nwaneri added to the mix. I also think its quite likely given the age and his attributes for the role, that Vieira is actually the successor to Xhaka in that attacking role.. I thought it when he arrived and now we are seeing he usually comes on as a sub to replace Xhaka, not Odegaard.. so I honestly think they have planned it really well.. Odegaard is young, Vieira will be phased in for Xhaka as Xhaka gets older.. Rice will come in (who can play 6 or 8) and Patino/Rice being phased in for Partey. Eventually we could see Vieira Odegaard (or ESR for either of them) Rice with Patino rotating at 6...and again no reason not to expect more signings over next 3 years to provide more competition. Vieira/ESR Odegaard and RIce is a sick midfield 3 first choice tho imo.. i see Vieira adapting to EPL and becoming a top player.

Pretty sure Saka is the inspiration.

But he has to remove his selfishness

When he learns how to pass a ball

Exactly

Exactly

Cozier Duberry is a very talented young player, but he can be too selfish in his game. He needs to learn how to be a team player if he wants to go far in this game.

🔵⚪️

The one that wasn’t given was more of a penalty

You're spot on. The penalty for Arsenal is a soft one. It shouldn't have stand. Cambridge are deadly in the final 3rd as well. End to end game worth watching.

@@olumideale5753 nah I was watching in the stadium they weren’t that good they relied mostly of their big men in the box other than that they had a poor final pass and shots from range not many good passes I think it was there number 10 and 20 who stood out the rest weren’t anything special

@@rorywilliams549 which team is Arsenal playing in the semi Rory?

@@olumideale5753 it’s not been drawn yet the match isn’t until April

His not yet ready for that level.But he looks very promising.

I think he's been travelling with the first team recently but obviously at the very back of the bench

When he learns to pass the rassclart ball

He is a selfish player. There were so many opportunities for assist.

Not this season

Yaya Toure.

It's cause these guys don't really play that often with each other. They are kind of disjointed. As some play more U18 while the others play U21. They don't have great chemistry yet, but rely a lot on natural talent to see them through. They have been very clutch in this competition. Hopefully this is the year we win it.

Believe Cambridge's No.10 is Kai Yearn, one of the few academy players that will probably play in senior league games this season

@@iykeharrison9161 true, he has a lot of talent but still a lot to learn, if he has a strong mentality, he'll definetly become a very good player

Spot on mate , I'm biased as a Cambridge fan at the game last night but I'm actually optimistic about our future if we get some of these lads in our team in the future

Don't forget Rosiak.

Yeah, I'm an Arsenal fan and that was still very dubious.

I didn't think it was penalty either, but there was a clearer penalty not given to arsenal later on in the match

@@potentialswillrule sorry but stopped watching the game after that decision its like up in Scotland where the ugly sisters get all decisions because they are the major clubs so poor unfashionable teams like Cambridge are up against the establishment of the old school FA

Didn't watch the match but based on these highlights, they might've been the better side. I think they were unfortunate for many reasons including woodwork and a bad pen call.

@@MrFootaholic i mean big respect to our youth players getting this far, maybe one of them could be the next mullin and bang in 20+ goals a season again for us
