Laird started for the U19s but on the bench for the U18s?

Half time, 3-0 down
Any links to watch the game.
Its not on tv, just getting updates from twitter.
3-1 Burkhart
Zelalem, Bielik, Nketiah are some big names.
No wonder we are struggling when Arsenal have 23 players on the teamsheet 
Aren't they, at the very least, established U23 players?

Some of whom are 20 years old.
2-3, 70mins gone.
I thought Zelalem and Bielik would be. Unless that Bielik is the younger brother of another Bielik.
Bit daft isn't it, surely the point of these games is specifically for the U18s to have a chance to test themselves against other good U18 sides, not ones sprinkled with older players.
3-3, Gomes scores from the spot.
Great fight from them.
Brilliant from the under 18's that is great spirit against an older and experienced arsenal team.
Another penalty
4-3, Gomes scores again.
FT 4-3, Gomes (2), Burkart & Bughail-Mellor the scorers.
Impressive from the kids!
Wow, brilliant result, shows great determination and spirit to not give up at half time.
What a turnaround brilliant result. Would love to see the highlights.

Briliiant stuff.
Good stuff. Gomes with three penalty goals in two games.
Brilliant fight back
Apologies if I sound stupid but this is my first season properly following youth football, is this match 2-legged or is it just 1 match?
Phew toughest game of the group gone. We might actually have more games for the U18s.
This was a group match, 2 more group matches against Wolves and Stoke to go.
Love beating Arsenal. Especially at this level.
Okay thank you.
According to Mr. Mujac, it was fabulous play by Ramzani to win the last penalty.
Pengel Gomes.
I wish Greenwood turns into a starter for the u18's soon. See more potential in him than Baars and even Chong. Something like Puigmal, Traore, Gomes, Greenwood, Burkhart, Ramanzani/Chong would be a great front 6.
Were all the Arsenal team u18s or were we up against some u23s as per the teamsheet? I imagine these over 18s listed on the teamsheet were ineligible?
A good result against a very good Arsenal U18 team with a lot of quality (even without Willock jnr). With Puigmal, Traore and now Mccann still to slot into the side we can set our sites high this season for the U18s.
McCann is a schoolboy, he won't play much U18s this season.
oh right I thought he was coming in as a first year scholar. He can work alongside Greenwood then for this year and hopefully hit the ground running in the U18s next year.
Highlights of this game would be on MUTV today at 7pm.
The Arsenal team sheet is completely wrong, whoever made the team sheet just listed all of their u23s instead of their u18s
