Milk Cup 2014

This is my guess for the the yesterday match's starting XI based on the pics (can be wrong in some position):
1
Denham 2? - Garner 5 - 12 - Hockerhull 15
Smethurst 4 - Wych 6
J.Reid? 7 - Greenwood 10 - Haygarth 11
Ceesay 8

Number 13 and 9 were involved in the first half as well.14 and 16 seemingly were on for 2 and 7 during the second half.

Second match vs. North Dublin SL will kick off soon.

Only watched them 1 time in a very scrappy match but number 10 and 11 seem to have biggest reputation.Number 5 played for our U15s in Marveld Cup last May.2,4,12 and 11 are playing one year up.

Just got back from the game. 4-0. Good passing and movement. The Number 11 kid, Haygarth was brilliant. Scored a good goal and his passing and touches were excellent. Looks a good player.
 
There is one more game in the evening against NI. Looking forward to it.

Didn't see any video cameras around. Just a photographer. This is the first time U-13 are playing in milk cup.

For the other divisions (which starts on Monday), there will be highlights.

I see, makes sense. Not even sure they can show highlights for that age group anyway.

Normally they're up on the BBC, if anybody finds them, please can you post them here?

Is it

1
2 - 5 -12 - 15
4 - 17
7 - 10 - 11
8

?

We don't really train the kids with tactic at these levels to let them express themselves so the inconsistency of result is not a surprise.

Correct, watched these as u12 against Liverpool, very individual and don't play as a team, but as the coaches say if you learn to play simple you will always play simple.
 
Few photos from the U13s final:

Our two main attacking threats(Greenwood and Haygarth)

Interestingly Obi will wear the shirt no.8.Are we going to play him in midfield?

Looks like Rashford has grown some height.Taller than Henderson now.

United U17s XI vs. Gold Coast United: Henderson - Reid,Tuanzebe,Williams,Borg - Scott,Thompson - Mitchell,Gribbin,Rashford - Obi.
 
1-0 Rashford.United dominating so far.We're playing with three at the back (Reid,Williams,Tuanzebe).

The MUFC Academy ‏@mrmujac 12s
Four mins in and Marcus Rashford scores direct from FK on left...wicked swerving FK high to top corner of net 1-0

jb8521 ‏@jb_8521 24s
Goal rashford with a free from out near the touch line into far top corner over the keeper. 1-0
 
Out of interest Khoazany how do you follow these games? Is there a twitter account or a live feed or something?
 
Players like Mitchell and Rashford are always going to run riot in games like this, against inferior opposition. Flair attackers, hungry, fearless.
 
jb8521 ‏@jb_8521 14s
Brilliant through ball from gribbin well controlled and finished by Radford. 4-0

The MUFC Academy ‏@mrmujac 1m
21 mins and Marcus Rashford makes it 4-0...opposition not able to handle skill or pace...Jordan Thompson outstanding in MF

The MUFC Academy ‏@mrmujac 17s
United holding in midfield then breaking incredibly quickly...raperlike...23 mins and another chance as Demi places just wide after 1 v 1

jb8521 ‏@jb_8521 22s
Obis through ball put narrowly wide by Mitchell

Rashford is really on fire.Good to see Gribblin making his mark.
