Date and Venue Set for Youth Cup tie v Man Utd

November 17 2008
After their relatively successful trip to New Jersey, where the Academy were beaten finalists in the 16th Annual Newark International Cup losing 2-1 to Mexico, the Academy returned to league action at Cobham on Saturday. Playing hosts to the youth of Norwich City, 17yr old Frank Nouble (a boy built like a brick outhouse) scored two more goals in the 2-2 draw.

Frank has now scored eight goals in his last ten games.

Twice the Academy took the lead and twice they were pegged back by a resilient Norwich City side.

Norwich's scorers were Johnbull Omoregie and Luke Daley.

Coach Paul Clement was a little upset about Norwich's first goal.

He said "The officials did not see the handball offence in Norwich's first goal so we were a little disappointed to concede that but we responded well."

About the game and performance, Clement said "Overall the performance was average but I am pleased to be unbeaten in four which keeps us up the top end of the table.

"With their second goal, Patrick van Aanholt was back from seven weeks out with injury so had started to fatigue and lost concentration and one of the factors in this game was an inability to maintain our high intensity or create as many chances as we have been doing recently.

"This was because of the fatigue factor as including the tournament in the US, we have played seven games in two weeks and we looked a little weary.

"So overall I am satisfied and now we build in the FA Youth Cup tie. We have Charlton away next week and then Man United. That game being played at Old Trafford will be a great experience for everybody."

The date for the Man United game as been set for Thursday 27th November and the game kicks off at 7pm.

No announcement has been made as to whether the game will be shown live on Chelsea TV.

Chelsea: Jan Sebek, Nikki Ahamed, Jack Saville, Billy-Joe King, Patrick van Aanholt (Josh MacEachran), Jordan Tabor, Conor Clifford, Daniel Philliskirk (c) (Marko Mitrovic), Jacopo Sala, Frank Nouble, Ben Gordon (Aliu Djalo)

When I get back I might try and get down for some reserve and youth games. Brentford has a pub on every corner of the ground!

Yep that's right Griffin Park should be renamed 'Four Cornered Pub.'
