Damn time zones I'll be lucky to catch the last 10 minutes.

 

[FromTheBench]

Wonder if Januzaj possibly plays this for match fitness.

And what sort of formation we use.

Hoping for a sighting of Powell as well finally.

 

[MancunianAngels]

Hopefully get a decent crowd for this, City are taking a few. Hope we match them.

 

[Mr. MUJAC]

This game clashes with the Salford City v Class of 1992 match which loads of people bought tickets for well in advance.

While City may expect a decent crowd the United contingent may be lower.

 

[Joemo]

For those who might have missed it, this is tonight.

No Petrucci by the looks of his Instagram - "Good luck tonight boys... I hope you will lift another trophy".

Who's been promoted to the U21's this year?

 

[Spielmacher]

Who's been promoted to the U21's this year?

Kieran O'Hara, Callum Evans and Matthew Willock?

 

[In Rainbows]

Wonder if Januzaj possibly plays this for match fitness.

That's what I was wondering too.

 

[Buchan]

Hoping to get over to this.

Attending this rather than the 'Class of '92' game is worth how many 'Top Red' points again?

J.Pereira,O'Hara,Evans,McConnell,Janko,A.Pereira,Harrop,Goss,Willock and Fletcher are all too old for the under 18s now

 

[Decotron]

Team has been announced;

Pereira, Vermijl, Varela, McNair, Thorpe (C), Pearson, Janko, Rothwell, Wilson, Pereira, Lawrence.

And of course - Wilson.

That's about as strong as a team as we can put out. Powell aside, I suppose.

Interesting to see Janko continue to play right wing.

 

[Verminator]

Is it crazy to look at that line-up and think, "That looks strong"?
I hope a lot of these lads stay a long time.

Edit: Obviously not. ^^
They do though.

I thought "Three right-backs"

 

[dutchred]

Does anyone know if LvG or any of his "Dutch" team are there? Intersting that Pearson Rothwell and Pereira are playing, an exciting midfield

 

[gooDevil]

M. Keane, W. Keane, Blackett and Lingard were on tour of course and probably unavailable.

Ya, 3 really talented players. I was surprised that Van Gaal didn't take any of them with him on tour. I thought Pearson would go for sure.

 

[khoazany]

I would be disappointed if I don't see 7-8 of them going on loan or promoting to the first team after October.

 

[Elliott]

Annoyingly low camera.

He said he wanted to evaluate the current squad and with our midfiled situation I think he wanted to see for himself how bad it was. If Pearson had gone he would probably not have been given much playing time.
I would love to see Thorpe given a chance. I think he is better than Keane

 

[Dazzmondo]

Awful camera angle

 

[limerickcitykid]

Well pissed I'm missing this. Post any updates in here please.

 

[Verminator]

Slow start from United. Struggling to make any headway.
Fast attack down the right, noone in the box.
10 minutes gone.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Brilliant run from Janko, should be doing better with the delivery though.

 

[Joemo]

What is it that Warren Joyce is saying? "Half and half" or "half an hour"?

 

[gooDevil]

Let's not forget we lost two against City last season, and they were the stronger team on both occasions.

 

[gooDevil]

City are hogging the ball but having a hard time getting into our half.

Though they just got through on the left, snuffed out by Vermijl for a corner.

 

[Dazzmondo]

City score. We really need to get into this game more.

 

[Joemo]

1-0 City. Hiwula with the goal after Pereira spilled/rebounded Cole's cross.

City have started much better than we have.

 

[Decotron]

1-0 City. Poor goalkeeping

 

[Verminator]

City with a good move down the left. A bit weak by Perreira in goal.
1-0 15 mins

 

[Dazzmondo]

Good ball from Pearson, well defended by the City defender.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Very good tackle from Thorpe.

 

[Verminator]

City close again. Getting all their joy down our right.
25 gone.

 

[SirFergie]

City much better than us in possession and we're suffering from a real lack of direction at this level. 4-4-1-1 seems so outdated and rigid now.

 

[Flamingo Purple]

Why don't they ever have names on the back of their shirts?

 

[Midnight1811]

Can someone please send a river my way?
