I don't even look down on it, I have been trying to flag it up a few times in the past year and I sometimes spend a few minutes on it for no reason
I'm still kinda on the fence with ALB, not because I think anything is set in stone, but because things don't happen overnight. Let players work and get where they want to be before setting silly expectations they won't quite match yet

⬜️⬛️FULHAM 3-2 🟧🦇VALENCIA
Glorious scenery at Motspur Park, one of my favourite football venues in England.
Fulham vs Valencia in the PL International Cup. I saw Valencia @ Southampton two seasons ago, kicking shinpads for 90' with Declan Firth trying to get away. Not much changed, Valencia picking up 7 yellows and a sending off (25th and 30th).
Some good goals from range from both sides. And a late winner for Fulham
⬜️⬛️I liked Eddy Nsasi at the back, covered the space well and won duels. Chibby Nwoko with a good left foot at CM.
Nor sure about Loupalo Bi yet. Things I like (workrate and more gritty than academy forwards) but imo some work to do to receive back to goal. Good fundamentals. Just not there yet.
Seth Ridgeon getting minutes, another top attacking midfielder in the making (Elliott, Carvalho, King). Looking the part at 16 in a U21s game is promising.
🟧🦇For Valencia that USA kid Leslie Okai is quick. Guilabert as some sort of roaming 8 found space well as a second striker from midfield.
I've air-tagged Aaron Loupalo-Bi to continue understanding how EPPP Category 1 talent scale up to non-League and Football League.
🇫🇷🏴🇨🇮Aaron Loupalo-Bi has racked up 41 goal contribution in 45 games for Fulham U18s : 28 goals, 13 assists.
23 goal contributions in 33 PL2 games (16G 7A).
Late 2005-born, his first loan at Dagenham & Redbridge was tough but he works so hard all across the front both sides of the ball

Quick free kick taken by Slattery, over the top for Burstow and what a finish from the striker!
Powerful strike in off the post! 💥

Johnson-Fisher's delivery is inches away from being turned in by Kendall.
