Lovely goal from Tahith Chong

He's looked impressive since he's come on. Good technique and good physical attributes.

He's obviously shit, but having a good night tonight.

Southampton have been disappointing. I know it's as much about developing individuals as winning games but they've been a bit bland. Directionless.

I write as they equalise of course.

Southampton ahead. Two nice goals from them.

I am available to criticise your team for a reasonable fee.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

hahaha standard. Another easy chance wasted.

 

[RossFC]

Our U23s beat Arsenal 3-2.

Harry Wilson got 2, Ojo 1. Our GK Shamal George was probably our best player.

 

[moomba]

Southampton got away with it really. United much the better side. Enjoyable game to watch though. Hoping to catch a few in the cup this season. I think Chelseas on tomorrow night.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Finally a win in the PL2. KWP and Harrison score and we're off the bottom.

I see the U23's are playing dead this season. Must have quality players in the U18's but the quality U23's in the first team squad I guess.

Onomah CCV Winks GKN all in and out of match day squads. Will be given games as needed to get fitness up but they're all the fringes. Edwards out injured doesn't help also

United seem to be taking a keen interest in the Ajax academy. We are signing there 15 year old u17 striker and have supposedly locked up deals for their 2 highest rated academy youngsters who will join in the summer.

LVG influence?

Ajax has also had some terrific talent come from their academy throughout the years.

Henny De Regt, our chief scout was formerly chief scout at Ajax. LVG recommended him. He was initially hired as opposition scout for LVG I think.

Kinda like the opposite of our (Saints') senior team really.

Our turn in the youth cup tonight. Away at Reading. Will be a tough game, I reckon Reading are well capable of winning the whole thing, so if we can get the win it will be great.

Unfortunately my hopes of Chelsea being knocked out for once didn't come true the other night. They won comfortably.

Leicester, Brighton, Birmingham, Cambridge, Middlesbrough, Burnley, QPR, Chelsea, Wigan, Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle, Everton, Broxbourne Borough, Shrewsbury, Nottm Forest, Yeovil, Hull, Aston Villa, Gillingham, Preston, Spurs, Norwich and Stoke already through.

Think we have the winner of Palace and Liverpool in the next round if we get through.

 

[moomba]

Currently 0-3 up. Brahim, Foden, Nmecha. Impressive against one of the best sides in the country.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

United 2-0 up against Sparta Prague in the international cup.

Lewis Baker with 10 goals in 13 games for Vitesse. Apparently Spurs are watching him frequently.

AM?

lot of people upset by this. apparently it's cos united don't have teams this young or something like that.

being upset at a 7 year old having a bit of a kickabout at someone else's ground is extremely weird.

Just some stuff on twitter. AM/CM better prospect than RLC imo.

there's a lot of players better than rlc really. he's missed the boat. he always had the size advantage at youth level but has been shown up badly against adults.

Is there only one team in Manchester with under 8s?

i have no idea, but i would presume we have by far and away the best facilities.

Club captain of the biggest rival could surely let him play somewhere else until he is old enough to play at United. Different story if the kid wants to play with friends but if it's for faculties that's a bit rich they're 7 lol
