Hopefully Benarous really kicks on this season. Had been talked very highly of before, and was in an England youth group squad, but seems to have slowed a little. 

I think “slowing” is just a standard thing as you move out of a single year age band into multiple year age bands.  E,g. U18 could have 16, 17 and 18 year olds in it….so 3 times as competitive (crude statement).  This is his first season at u23 level…played a few times last season, but often from bench.  Now starting to really contribute.  Bags of skill. His decision making improving….be good to see video of today.

If you look at our u23s today, we had a 16 year old playing (Knight-Lebel).

Buse 19

Taylor 19 / Knight-Lebel 16 / Williams 18

Pearson 19 / Kadji 18 / Owers 19 / Soady 20

Benarous 18 / Britton 20 / Francois 18

That’s a really young u23 line-up today.

Watford pretty young too:

21 - 2

20 - 2

19 - 4

18 - 2

17 - 1

Didn’t realise he was so young. Just turned 18. Boy has a big future.

I assumed he was older too, when I saw the hattrick I thought why isn't he around the first team yet

 I dont know if its because I've seen his name pop up now and again, or because of FM just assumed he was a few years older than he is!
