citymad

ok thanks - Sylaidos. I will have a look at him again next week. He played well and for a 16yo was very impressive. roster says they play Victory. it will be a good game if they play the same team line up.

Ok so i got to the game and it was a pretty impressed with the city team. A good win by a dominant city squad. I reckon Arzani played well as expected, however a couple of others really grabbed my attention. Don't know names of some only numbers - so if any one else can put a name to a number it would help. most of the players i have picked i have never seen before so they are either new or young. right back 36 - good going forward and was looking to hook up with his winger etc. had a couple of runs into box and looked dangerous midfield - 46 - really good player, looks young for sure but is so calm and controlled. had some good shots on goal and was unlucky not to score. was constantly playing balls through and setting up opportunity. got a great assist to a goal. tall Dark kid - Ahmed 41 - was destroying the opposition - just gliding past them and got two goals. if he keeps playing like that he will play A league for sure. played last year winger with the head scarf - 50 - also looked good and nearly scored. mid field 34 - really hard worker possibly could pass the ball sooner, but was looking for a runner etc. overall was a great game IMO.

I know Arzani and some others are playing in the NYL . Would be good to gets some discussion going on the who's who and strong up and comers in city's youth side. I might go and watch. thoughts?

As i understand, another defensive player is being scouted to take the place of the injured winger Kuzmanovski. hopefully for January. maybe by then JVS will be gone and the new caoch will have the defensive stocks he needs

Looks like this kid has been named in the NYL squad for this season so obviously has impressed the coaches. his photo is on the web site. sounds like a good player for out youth midfield

a lot of changes to last years squad more young ones and a few from the youth A league ones. keep an eye on arzani and Cavallo as they have both had a bit of A league time so must be doin well at training etc. I reckon some other players will also stand out too. things looking good for city. still pretty hard to get into the a league team.

First game of NYL for city is at CB smith v adelaide. Get along to check out some of the impressive youth on diplay. Its a must win as there is only 8 games so you cannot afford to lose 1 single game.

this seems possible and maybe CFG will appoint a coach in the style of Pep G. pep might even recommend someone. Only i think it should come if JVS is at the helm of at least three losses. why wait to R23. there would be no chance at all to recoup under a new coach.

Or at the same place the friendly was played? Yea I dunno who number two was. They have some quality youth though so I am no surprised that there were standout players. Their numbering system is weird. Look like they have have no relation to the position that a player is in. Some kids were wearing numbers like 46 and 38 etc. I'll have a listen to the names if they read them out on the loudspeaker. But numbers will be completely different again I suppose. What is Adelaide like?

Game at CB smith

don't recall the numbers but the midfield was a pretty strong group. It was most likely Arzani. he had some A league time a few weeks back. hopefully we see more of him at the A league level.

Watched this game yesterday. Some good football played by both teams. City got the lead early and then it was city 2 victory 1 at half time. Squads were changed around a bit after that with younger players/trialists coming on. City goals were good though and Arzani and Tongik played. Francic had a run at the back so i reckon he is not too far off returning to 1st team. Game ended 2 - 2. Any body else see this game. Any Players standing out for city? Hopefully they can do well this season.

IMO a youth player will be given a small contract, and will not play a single game. That Di Niese kid is himself return from an ACL injury. I say go for an out and out defender. we have enough attacking talent.

City has a NYL side preparing and training ATM. Franjic also trained with them for fitness

So more on DFS about Young Player Daniel Arzani being signed to Man City. I reckon he will end up with us until he turns 18 then over to their 21's. Anyone got any more on this kid? he is only 16 apparently. Will other A league complain about this as well as the caceras loan.

This Arzani kid is quality. loan back to Melbourne for continued development and A league opportunity with regular top ups in Man city would be ideal. There are other quality lads in Melbourne Citiy youth ranks who have Oz rep experience. I think this is the start of good things.
