Academy Report

This weeks Academy action was a real mixed bag with 3 games in quick succession at U18's, U19's and U21's level it is a group of players that has been spread very thin, not to mention the U21's being affected by international call ups for some of the players.

The U18's kicked things off at Cobham on Saturday with a game against Everton, the team was picked with the following days NextGen game in mind and that meant a young squad and inclusions for some fringe players within the squad. The game finished 1 - 0 to Everton in the end, Chelsea just not able to do enough to get something out of the game.

Next up was the much anticipated Quarter Final against Juventus and the game most certainly did not disappoint. The first half of the game was totally dominated by Chelsea. The quick passing and pressing was something that the Juventus youngsters just could not cope with. The deadlock was broken by the ever excellent Lewis Baker who rifled a shot into the top corner from outside the box giving the keeper absolutely no chance. The second came soon after, Alex Kiwomya racing on to a ball through, beat the keeper to it and slotted it nicely home. Chelsea should have made their domination count for more in the first half but they didn't and Juventus came out in the second half and really had a go. Their hopes of bringing things back came from a free kicked which was whipped into a dangerous area and a glancing header was enough to take it past Blackman.

As Juventus kept pushing forward Chelsea eventually punished Juventus on the break, substitute Colkett played Kiwomya through out wide who spotted Feruz racing through and picked him out perfectly and Feruz stuck it well past the keeper and made things a lot more comfortable. The young blues were not done yet however and they really put the cherry on the cake with some lovely football. Good work by Feruz saw the ball fall to Colkett again who played a super flick over the defenders for the run of Lewis Baker and Baker finished with perfection to cap off what was truly a great performance, highlights of which are here:

That victory has earned Chelsea a Semi Final date with either Arsenal or group opponents CSKA Moscow, the Semi Final, Final and 3rd/4th play off fixtures will be played over the Easter weekend at lake Como. Hopefully it will be another trophy the youngsters can add to their cabinet.

The action was not finished here however as there was still action on Tuesday for the U21's away to Middlesbrough. Lack of depth meant that a number of players who were playing on Sunday also started this game and there were debuts for youngsters Dabo, Ssewankambo and Gnahore. It proved to be a difficult night with few chances created for Chelsea and they eventually went down to a 2 - 0 defeat. But it will have been a very good experience for a lot of these young players playing at a stadium and playing against opposition stronger than them, they did give it a good go but Boro were just too strong in the end and took their chances. Highlights here:

The first leg date of our FA Youth Cup Semi Final has also been set, it will be played on Friday 12th April at Anfield, it will surely be a cracking game and it seems that Raheem Sterling may play that game for Liverpool. So that is a date to include in your footballing diary, the return leg at the Bridge has also now been confirmed as being played on Friday 19th April.

This weeks action will see the U18's looking to improve on recent results of 3 straight defeats away to Bolton Wanderers. There is no U21's fixture this week but of course there is the Semi Final of the NextGen series on Friday.

I'm sure this is the kind of thinking these fantasists were displaying at season start thinking Chelsea is in for a good season.

This team is even worse than our current team and cannot finish in the top 8.

I'm waiting for the transfer window. Want to see if this person sanctioning transfers actually has an iota of opolo.

Apart from getting rid of Torress, it would mean getting a new striker. who? Falcao? Or rather give Lukaku his chance?
Attacking midfield area is fine! if we get anymore, i will just sigh a big sigh! with all the bokun yakata we have in the club and on loan.
Defensive Mid has been a bother cos Romeu has been injured all through but has he proven himself? and they made a mistake in sending Essein on loan. What happens when he's back? Wont he feel betrayed enough to leave the club or will the next manager talk him into staying? We also have the problem of lampard! he stays, he's got to play, where? Infront of the pivot? is he any better than Mata or oscar at present? managers dont seem to think so but he's played in the double pivot positon and scored loads which makes you wonder if he's actually pulling his weight defensively?
I believe we need a proper DM tho but at the expense of whom? Mikel? romeu? lampard? ramires (who's not a DM but has found himself there on numerous occasions).

Defence wise, we are solid at Right Back! with Wallace in(most likely going on loan). Left back is a bother cos mr Bertrand isn't up to Cole's standard yet. Center back needs more cover cos i'm not a fan of having Ivanovic to cover which has proven to be another mistake judging by Ivanovic's poor performances at CB. But we got Bruma coming back, but will he be handed a chance? or sold? he's not played that much hamburg this season plus i dont think he's still interested in chelsea. Kalas? sent on loan again?

We have all this players we bought with some not-so-little amount of money and all they have done is gone on loan! what is the essence of buying all this players? the person sanctioning all this transfers, as he got a plan? It doesnt look like it!

Forget Bruma, the guy is a disaster.

Van Aanholt is potentially better than Bertrand but I have no problem at all with Bertrand as no2 leftback. Not many clubs could boast a deputy leftback as good as him, certainly not Alex Buttner or any of the clowns our rivals have been parading so Bertrand is good for me!

Chalobah right now is more suited to our team than any of the clowns parading in DM but I would send him on loan to premiership club next season and buy a substantive DM. . . but definitely not the slow cumbersome and lumbering Fellaini who some clowns think is panacea to Chelsea problem.

Kalas is ready to be deputy rightback from what I'm seeing.

I would sign ninja like James Mcarthur to be the forward thinking member of the pivot or if he's available, or my favourite young midfielder right now, Marco Veratti but I thinks we cannot afford to buy what a rich man doesn't want to sell.

In DM I would go for cheaper option like Ettiene Capoue. Can't think of many others right now but last summer I wanted ninjas like De Jong and Dembele.

And I would definitely sign Nani without thinking twice for the right wing.

Whilst our former youth academy player Jack Cork has impressed me greatly this season and is not beyond consideration for a squad position as a body in midfield.

Oh, and Lampard and Oscar are not mate in the no8 position even now but we looking to the future I guess. 4-3-3 is not cool anymore so I hear
