Birchall reacts to Premier League cup defeat

Adam Birchall said there were positives to take from the performance in Saturday’s U18 Premier League cup game against Crystal Palace.

Goals from Jesse Derry and Zack Henry succumbed us to a 2-0 loss at Sobha Realty Training Centre, but Adam was pleased with what he saw from us in terms of our control during certain periods of the match.

Nevertheless, he was disappointed with the result, which saw us fall to second in Group G.

“I’ve got a lot of frustrated players who knew it was a game that they could’ve won today,” he said.
