What time? I might be able to do the commentary again.
Manchester United's reserves are in action on Wednesday night as they travel to the Halton Stadium to take on Everton.
Mike Phelan is expected to name a relatively strong side for the game and United's second string will be looking to build on their opening success of the season - their 1-0 win over West Brom last month - against the Toffees.
Meanwhile, United's reserve game against rivals Liverpool, which was due to be played on 16 September, has been moved back three days and will now be played on the Thursday evening at Chester's Deva Stadium.

So is Gazza playing? or any line-ups available?
Gary Neville will make his comeback from his broken metatarsal bone in United's Reserves tonight.
Mike Phelan's second team will take on Everton at the Halton Stadium, and Gary will be joined by new goalkeeper Ricardo in the starting line-up.
Diego Forlan also starts the match against the Toffees, while first team players David May and Luke Chadwick also get a look in.
The Reserves opened their title defence with a 1-0 win over West Brom at Old Trafford, and will be keen to turn that into the start of a winning run.
MUTV will screen the match live from kick-off at 19:00 BST.
United: Ricardo; G Neville, Roche, May, Pugh; Chadwick, Lynch, Rankin, Richardson; Forlan, Nardiello.
subs: Muirhead, B Williams, Tate, Jones, Eagles.
Everton: Gerrard; O'Hanlon, McLeod, Yobo, Watson; Feng, Osman, Gemmill, Chadwick; Rooney, Rodrigol.
subs: Pilkington, Cole, Carney, Schumacher, Brown.
Will be worth watching! But I won't make it back in time for the kickoff

Nice one Neil where did you get all that from?
Sorry, I do normally put the sources. I think they were from teamtalk and manutd.com.
Actually they have put saturday's PL game on first . It starts at 8pm .
Yep, just caught the end of the replay of the first team match. Looking forward to seeing Ricardo for the first time. And see what state Gazza is in. Hope Forlan scores!
Damn I missed the lineup while eating dinner, I got about this much from it.

Rooney playing for Everton.
Kieran Richardson is starting as well...
Started. Everton also have Yobo and some chinese player from the world cup playing.
Richardson takes a corner, flicked on by Nardiello and Forlan is almost in there but the defender gets his head to it first.
ANother corner, back to Pugh, Forlan heads it down at the ground but it bounces strongly and over the bar. But touched on by the keeper for another corner. Crossed in by Gary Nev, Nardiello volleys it and should have scored.

We're defending now around our box, but they misplace a pass and it goes out for a throwin to us.
It was a great cross by Gary, good start!
Forlan should have scored too, he can head the ball very strongly, in fact too strongly!

The everton reserves are of a very good standard, they can pass and play the ball about very well. Much better than the baggies.
We're not being given much time and space on the ball, but we've just managed to get going a nice long build up, Chadwick trying a one two with Nardiello which Nardiello's return was cut out.
Defending on the edge of the box, Rooney shoots it into a wall of defenders, rebounds out, and eventually goes out for a United throw in, a very long throw into the box by Gary Neville. Could do with some of them.
Wish I could get you the pictures of Ricardo in his United kit too. He's not been tested yet though.
Forlan sending Gary down the wing, poor cross in.

Struggling to get the ball back off them. Their move ends in Rodrigo blasting high in to the air from far out.

Forlan makes a tidy little roaming midfielder you know. He's playing a deep role even in this reserve game. I think he needs to be a bit more physical in his approach, he's not that big I know but that shouldn't stop him, Sparky was short but very physical. Its funny cos I thought Argentinian football was supposed to be very physical.
Rooney runs through our defense, of May and Roche, but goes too wide and shoots at the post.
Luke Chadwick is being marked well but managed to get a cross in under pressure which Nardiello headed wide.
Chadwick passed to Forlan in the box who did a lovely turn and pass to Richardson who then shmmied and shot wide. Forlan could have maybe taken a shot himself.
HT 0-0

It is a very big pitch and windy. As a result there are too many route 1 balls from both sides. Gazza looks to be enjoying it. Tried to ref as well and got a bollicking from the man in black. Ricardo looks cool , has a great left foot and a powerful throw. Hasn't had to stop a shot yet,
Both defences are subduing the attacks.
Forlan and Nardiello could have scored Rooney is their best attacker he is physically powerful and has electrifying pace. Chadwick seems a bit subdued and hasn't taken his man on enough. Pugh looks cool. Back for the second half.

Yep, its been a tight game, with good closing down by both sides. Neither really has had enough creativity in the centre. And we've made little progress down the wings due to good defending. Rooney does look a great prospect.
thanks for the updates men.
Chris Eagles, 16, comes on for Richardson. Playing in the centre with Rankin now on the left.
Q
Who this pugh, I`ve never heard of him is he
good

C'mon Neil, what's happening ?
Osmond scores for them, Roche didn't manage to stop a cutback coming in, well struck into the net with Ricardo having little chance to save.
Right let's go 3 at the back and bring Ole on.
Rooney causing havoc in our defense, scores from near the penalty spot but ruled out for obvious offside. They look more like scoring than we do.
In the last minute they're putting us under a lot of pressure. Rooney is clearly premiership class already. Their Chadwick has also had a lot of chances. Ricardo is being given a work out in this second half.
shit.
where's tierney these days?

FT 1-0
Gary lasted the whole match. He played well, only one occasion when he was attacking did he leave a gaping hole behind him which was exploited but otherwise played better than Phil has been.
Forlan was disappointing, he keeps possession, but he didn't really create much nor get on the end of much.
Ricardo was given a work out, seems to have good reactions, but he doesn't like to hold onto the ball that much. Wasn't at fault for the goal.

Thanks Neil & Pat
Ricardo looks the business! He made some great reaction saves and in the last ten minutes Everton would have scored another 3 but for him. He only has one foot, the left, but it is a howitzer and he can throw the ball over the half way line! Roche played a blinder holding Wayne Grady but the one time he was beaten Everton scored. Chris Eagles had a poor first touch in central midfield the ball was pushed out to Grady on the right wing, he beat Roche with a great feint went down to the corner, cross was a pull back and Osman charged in and side footed into the net beating a despairing dive from Ricardo.
Nardiello was a pain tonight. He messed up about six good chances.Forlan missed two- he is not a goal scorer. Rankin had a good game, Richardson not so good. Pugh was solid but did not get forward as much as usual. Chadwick was not as bright as in the West brom match. Seemed to lack confidence tonight. Mind you the Everton boys were physically much bigger than united. Gazza was OK and so was david may.
