Shea Lacey (2007)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 started & bagged 2 assists for Manchester United U18 v Blackburn Rovers today. One of the most gifted young players in the country with a magical left foot. Remember the name.

Baylee Dipepa is the most senior ⚽️ experienced player on the pitch from either side tonight, and it shows. So clever+unfazed in physical contact - having a brilliant performance as 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿’s ST presence/outlet. Got on the score-sheet, which stemmed from box alertness

The movement of Mbappe is so elite it looks simple. In brilliant timing, he initially makes sure he doesn’t go ahead of the ball - bursting in the direction which forces the defender to change his momentum/body orientation, before bursting once again …

Shaqai ‘Shaq’ Forde (2004)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 joined York City on loan from Watford this month. Last week he came off the bench to make his debut & scored a 91st min equaliser. Today he bagged a hatrick. 2 games, 4 goals. Definitely one to keep an eye on. 🌟

Julien Duranville with a really promising cameo on his BVB debut. Electric & flamboyant in offensive duels - rides challenges seemingly with ease. Showed great confidence to get on the ball, drive at opponents & get balls into the box. 17 years old.

Currently doing some research on Mikayil Faye - 19 year old, left footed CB who has been heavily linked to FC Barcelona. Just came across this free kick attempt - Forget the sheer bottle to try it, look at the technique & how close it was to going in!

Watched Once Caldas-Atlético Nacional from the other night, & Sergio Palacios was once again strong The initial stand-out is his size, but just as eye-catching or even more so, that is despite the frame; has a good spring+lvl of coordination - isn’t as clunky as you’d expect…

When you put Mathys Tel’s assist from last night in slow motion, you get to see just how high quality it is. He doesn’t just feint left and right for the sake of it but watch how he bursts as soon as the defender goes to tackle (when he’s most vulnerable).

Adam Wharton continues to impress for Blackburn Rovers. Bit of an all action midfielder - shows for and circulates the ball - gets around the pitch really well in a defensive aspect - wonderfully composed demeanour. Can pick game changing passes with that left foot.
