To qualify for being an U21 player and be available for the 1st team squad but without being counted numberwise as one of the maximum of 25 squad players, it is my understanding that a player must not have reached their 21st birthday as at 1st of January of the year in which the season starts, So as Olise was still 20 as of 1st Jan 22 he would be classed as a young player.

You're nothing, if not predictably consistent Lanzo.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Listen to Lanzo, he knows best

They should have a YMOY and MOY award. Only way Vieira would win one

No obvious POTY for me this season. Several players have had good short runs of top form but no-one is a nailed-on candidate for the season as a whole IMHO. I'm torn between Doucoure and Ayew.

Olise, though, is nailed-on YPOTY and I expect him to be short-listed for the PL award in this category.
