when I saw it on telly i thought it was awesome. Pretty cool that the nix has been able to do this for Tyler. 

Imagine if they'd tried to get Louis to try and speak in one of these commericials.. trainwreck! haha

talked to Louis on Sunday - he said training with Bremen u-23's wasa different level and more focused. He and Tyler played in ntwo friendlies - Tyler as a number 9 and scoed 1 while Louis played right wing in one game and centre mid in the other.

In Germany instead of reserve squads they have u-23 squads and they play in the open divisions and can get promoted as high as Div 3 - so that's where Dortmund/Bayern u-23's play - not a bad level.

I would be intrigued to have 'more focused' defined. If that's the case, does that change his training for the future now he has been shown a different level (based on what I think 'more focused' means)

And what do you think it means ??
Anything after Ricki and Greenie could be more focused
Maybe it meant for him more focused on scoring, which he did :-)

Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

thought it was tyler who scored? good to hear he got a chance at number 9 - his preferred position

It was Tyler who scored - Lous got one too but was ruled offside so not given. From what I understood of what "Focused" meant it was more about the next opposition i.e their right back is weak so worked on left side attack more or they have a guy who is very effective in the hole so they trained to combat that etc.

Good to hear Tyler got a goal and both of them managed to get some games in.

I would be keen to hear if they felt they made an impression of any kind.

Cheers. A couple of respectable draws there. Wasn't expecting them to do much better than that.
