Bowler looks a talented kid, likes to run with it at his feet

Entertaining game.

Nobody stood out and said "pick me" for the first team, but certainly Niasse and Kenny showed that they could do a job.

Lookman fairly inconsistent but a great goal. Niasse now looks like a proper player rather than someone's brother who pulled the kit on for a joke. Both of them seem to make their own luck where the ball bounces off them in a challenge and runs free. Niasse also had some nice headed flicks.

Kenny was pretty solid defensively and had some lovely cross-field passes. He also had a few poor crosses.

From the others, Henen, with his speed, could possibly appear in the League Cup if people need a rest - think he is too old to be unnamed in the Europa squad. Baningime could possibly also be a prospect given a midfield injury crisis.

I know it's the youth team and you shouldn't take much from it, but even so it's abundantly clear that Kenny is a better footballer than Martina and should be starting, and Lookman is an X factor that should be on the bench at the very least every game.

While we need to take that Sunderland game serious we should start some of these players then

Got a great turn of pace.

Our U23s have what the first team lacks, pace, and movement with, and off the ball.

Exactly what I thought and how Koeman can treat Niasse the way he has and think Martina is acceptable is Martinez type bafflement.

Just watched the goals.. that Lookman goal was exceptional!

Replace the whole first team with the U23's...

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Unsworths team play with energy and purpose.

Night and Day from the shambles of yesterday.
