It's the same at senior level too. Ajax were so much stronger and athletic than us in Amsterdam. Disregarding our shocking display their players are on another level in all respects. Looking at Bassey and Aribo we've lost two strong, athletic and skilful players capable at that level and not replaced them properly.The Rangers lads look too tired to put in a challenge at times.
Huge difference in athletic ability evident, as well as the technical side.
im not daft i did say 'tempted', might have a pre match snooze afterCome on, its not bad is it ....lol .
Not like Charlie McCann cost us almost 7 figures.Ultimately clubs like Liverpool can hoover up any talented youngsters at will. They can hoard them.
It probably shouldn’t be allowed - you shouldn’t be able to sign players under 18 from other clubs.
the patten of play would be the same, with us hardly getting a touch of the ballHas no bearing on tonight whatsoever
Thats the spirit!the patten of play would be the same, with us hardly getting a touch of the ball
Sometimes other teams can just be betterThis is a horrendous performance from us
No playing them against hammer throwers and shite like Open Goal FC would be a start.
Of course but its simple passes that we are failing to get right. We are better than thisSometimes other teams can just be better

We are better than this. I hope when they come up to us next week the that game is a better reflection to how good our youths are.Of course but its simple passes that we are failing to get right. We are better than this
Liverpool team is the youth team of a team regularly making champion league finals and playing in the richest league in the world - did you expect them to be diddies?This is a horrendous performance from us
They are levels above tbhWe are better than this. I hope when they come up to us next week the that game is a better reflection to how good our youths are.
Sponsorship money well spentAnother good save by Pazikas.
Why does that have to be when Brighton can go there, score three and draw?the patten of play would be the same, with us hardly getting a touch of the ball
Need pace in all front 3 attackers which in turn gets the team up the park and frightening opponents defences. I will safely say ure will never make it to a top team in Scotland he’s the perfect fit for div1/2 big man up top with a crap first touch. Are we seriously saying he’s the best we can find at that age?Of course but its simple passes that we are failing to get right. We are better than this
Ask to get into they structures then? Playing against Part time teams where guys have been working all week etc isn’t going to do anything for their fitness or ability, just my opinion. They’re already better than 99% of the guys in that league and some of our players are 16/17.What's our alternative then because there's nothing to fill the gap between our 18s league and first team level? We can't get a B team into the league structure cause the other clubs don't want it and with the SPFL voting structure in place it won't ever happen. Lowland isn't the best level but it gets them playing against men week in week out but it's the only level the B team can play at. Down south they have U18 league, EPL2 for U21s and then a league for U23s we are miles behind in structure.
Trying too hard and still only 16.Lovelace has been disappointing I'm afraid.
No i expect us to pass the ball betterLiverpool team is the youth team of a team regularly making champion league finals and playing in the richest league in the world - did you expect them to be diddies?
Very strong and athletic, needs to work on the technical side of his gameLovelace has been disappointing I'm afraid.
I'd say almost every team in the EPL are bigger, stronger, faster and have better technique than us, and their movements on and off the ball is miles better than ours. in that spurs friendly, they hardly broke a sweat to beat us. and when we beat west ham but I would not put money on us beating them right at this momentWhy does that have to be when Brighton can go there, score three and draw?
They're just better, stronger. It happens. Look at the difference in athleticism and technical ability.This is a horrendous performance from us

Ajax are 2-0 up in the other game after 15 minutes.
Sporting must have a good side because they are 6-0 up in Marseille.
You don't want to be happy and are being hyper critical.. its easy to be that way as you can never be wrong.No i expect us to pass the ball better
No really it explains why they can attract and pay a better level of player.What a strange comparison.
Beaten by a better team, the big number 4 for them was outstanding 2 of their goals came from him we just couldn't compete against him
Our youth/b team has came on massively in the last few years but just like the first team can't compete financially against the EPL
They sell youth players for £10m plus also around europe, gulf is bigOur best player in Europe is a boy who could not get near their first team and was their youth player, there's an almighty gulf.
