http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=298764 Fulham Youth 2 Chelsea Youth 0 Sunday, Aug 14, 2005 Following an outstanding pre-season to date, Chelsea Youth lost the last warm-up match on Saturday morning to neighbours Fulham. The game was arranged before it was realised that an older, stronger squad could be taken to the Northern Ireland Milk Cup than first believed, and coach Brendan Rodgers admitted that in hindsight it might have been a game they could have done without. “We were lacklustre,” he conceded afterwards. “Watching it, I think the players could have done with a training session instead.” The Milk Cup resulted, of course, in a march to the Final against Barcelona by what was pretty well the starting line-up here. Nevertheless, Brendan was pleased to have the opportunity to give several players 45 minutes, and to change from a midfield diamond to 4-3-3 at half-time. “It was useful to look at two systems,” he said. “We might need to use that in the next few weeks.” Fulham scored in both halves and also hit woodwork. Chelsea made five half-time substitutions. The first Academy Under 19s game is next Saturday away to Wolves. Midfielder Lewis McGugan, and England Schoolboys international, is a triallist.
