This is why Chelsea win a lot of the youth cups - they have a team full of athletes who are bigger than everyone else at their level.
That is also why hardly ANY of them make anything of their careers - because when they soon realise everyone is the same size as them on the big stage and their technical ability isn't up to scratch.
Which is why winning these sort of things don't mean much in the grand scheme of things other then some experience of winning a cup at youth level. You only have to look at how many youth prospects we've produced compared to Chelsea who are playing top level Premier League football.
I'm underwhelmed by our class of 2017.
Tanganga and maybe Sterling are the only prospects in that team.
The overrated Shashoua is too feeble and Oakley-Boothe has been invisible.
It's men against boys out there and I wonder if Chelsea do more conditioning work on their youth players.
didn't Reece James sign a professional contract for Chelsea?I like their right back Reece-James. Shashoua taken off I see.
Spurs' goalkeeper has been brilliant
Jack Roles changed the game when he came on.Sterling!
2-1.
HOPE
Man, that Roles is a good player.
