MUTV Stream set as my homepage.
 
Will be interesting to see if Charni can make a difference defensively.
 
Lovely stream, thanks Maciek.

I don't know any of our players except for Barmby, Charni and van Velzen. Who are the ones to watch?
 
1-0 Shitty but we've looked alright. Keeping our shape decently. Barmby's touch has been excellent so far, don't think I've seen him on the right before.
 
Penalty - Hendrie with a fairly unnecessary tackle from behind just inside the box. Good penalty from Rusniak
 
I know I will be accused of being negative again - but it's pretty much the same story as before. Some neat play going forward - but no striker to convert the half-chances we create

And all City-goals result of sloppy defending
 
These matches rarely give us much to go on. Better side won on the day. I agree with you in the sense that City are by far the better balanced team. Our set up is a bit odd striker wise.

Full time
 
Well thats annoying. I recorded it and was avoiding spoilers, until BBC Radio 5 were gloating about City's academy beating united's.

I though we looked alright prior to McCullough's injury, even though we were 2-0 down at the time and the second goal was as soft as they come. Pearson is a talent but we lost something when Charni moved to right back. As a result Lawrence dropped deeper and Byrne was isolated.
