England U-16 Discussion Thread 2 [R] (2008 born)

Jinadu in too. Will be interesting with both him and Sanneh!

 

I spoke to his coach James Simmonds at Chelsea and Jody Morris and Lampard, they all said that Henry Lawrence should be able to play for the U18 but his school doesn’t work with Chelsea like Dynel Simeu, Tino Anjorin and Marcel Lewis (U16s who play for Chelsea).

Cheers, was waiting for them to put that up.

 

They're 2-0 up late in their first game, Rogers with both goals.

 

If anyone's feeling brave.

Got these so far

1 Jinadu
2 Livramento
3 Simeu
4 Musah
5 Mengi
6 Harwood-Bellis (c)
7
8 Azeez
9
10 Rogers
11

13 Sanneh
16 Cirkin
17 Mighten

 

Kid directly in the middle looks like Cirkin, I'm confident Walcott isn't in that picture

 

Carvalho is last but one on the right but dunno what number he had.

 

#20

#7 Knight
#11 Okoflex

 

L-R? Harwood-Bellis, Jinadu, Mengi, Gelhardt, Simeu, Cirkin, Livramento, Azeez, Rogers, Carvalho, Knight? That seems plausible.

Assumed the fourth lad is Gelhardt as he's about Simeu's height, and white, and the only other white lad it could be is the much smaller Joe Hodge.

The guy obscured by the mascot could be Okoflex or could be Azeez, but Azeez fits the team balance a bit better. Also looks slightly more like his hairstyle.

guessing there's a chance some England games might be shown on here

 

1st half vs Russia:

2nd half vs Russia:

 

Great find, so the lineup proposed above is wrong; Mengi didn't start, Musah did, but otherwise it's right.

 

Harris, Mighten and Hodge seem to have been the only subs used.

 

Where is Ben Elliott ?

 

Wasn't picked by the looks of it. He's a regular with Chelsea's U16s nowadays (playing a year up) and will get some U18 minutes next season. Was arguably their best player in the U16 PL Cup Final against Man City a few weeks ago too despite being the youngest starter on the pitch (they brought some 03s off the bench).

 

no Bondswell from Forest either who has been a regular in past squads.

 

Strange. When I watched him with this 2002 team he looked the best player on the pitch.

 

Is the Aussie lad who left Manchester City still at Chelsea? Can't remember his name will come to me and hows he doing?

Is '01 or '02

 

Jordan Harrison? Think he's a 2003.

 

Sanneh, Simeu, Mengi, Walcott, Roberts, Hodge, Harris, Pennant, Knight, Mighten, Okoflex.

 

Another 2-0 win, Mighten and Gelhardt scored.

 

1st half




2nd half

 

Trademark Mighten goal

 

Pitch hindered them quite a bit I think
