good to see young home grown talent being given a chance!
We really are stockpiling young English talent aren't we? Funny how everyone tosss over Southampton but we currently are streets ahead with bright technical players and giving them a chance in our side
We play false 9s in youth games so I wonder if this is something were looking into for the main team? Crowd out midfield yet have a flowing attack.
Isn't that mainly out of necessity though because our youth strikers are not up to the standard of the other players we have coming through?
Akindiyani and Oduwa can play as strikers can they not?
Cameron Carter-Vickers is certainly a huge prospect.... Admittedly he isn't in the older age groups age wise, but he certainly is in terms of his physical stature and his ability. Dominic Ball is another decent centre half in our youth ranks.Pritchard, Onomah, Alli and Winks as a future England midfield in 4-5 years? Oduwa is the same calibre too, though I think he's opted to represent Nigeria
We are slightly unbalanced towards midfielders though - Veljkovic is the only defender on the same level and we've got no exciting forwards in the older age groups.
