Nice goal
feckin screamer, lay off by Manucho.
Manucho is a slimmer version of Heskey.
how many of these have a decent chance of being involved in the QPR game
i'm looking forward to that game

The Brazillians definitely, and Manucho probably, although Welbeck might be up front alone again.
I think Cleverley might make a substitute appearance and Eckersley has a decent shot at a left-back substitute.
Possebon subbed off.
I reckon we could see 3 or 4 of these lads in the QPR game.

Foster might get a shout too.
Unlucky there for Manucho. Uses his strength well. You can see how he gets compared to Heskey.
Manucho great run but finish lacking.
He did it again. Good run but no finish from Manucho.
Another good run from Manucho. Good save Schmeichel.
The black Pele cant finish.
There´s a guy playing for City called Me. It´s quite annoying, the commentators on MUTV are always saying stuff like "player x has the ball, passes it to Me"
correction
black pele hasn't finished
yet

That's Ben Mee, i.e. Ben noodles.
From what I´ve seen of Manucho he´s quite one footed, he´s great with his left foot but doesn´t like using his right foot much. In both those chances he´s had his ball on his right foot.
He´s been impressive though, done everything except score.

I've been impressed with that young lad Bryan who came on 10 minutes ago.
Marshall, dirty cnut.
Rafael taken down by a two-footed tackle.
I love Paddy's attempts at being impartial.

Nasty tackle on Rafael.
FT 3-0. Good stuff. Up to 4th.
Tom Cleverley's goal was a thing of beauty.

Is Manucho better than Dong then?
I only ask because Dong couldn't score for the reserves either.

In a word yes
The two chances Manucho had were incredible because they started EXACTLY the same way. Both with his back to goal just inside our half, him spinning and going through one on one. It was stunning actually but a pity he didn't tuck one away
The second chance resulted in a good save but if he'd kept it lower he would have scored.
Dong had decent ability but seemed intimidated by the aggression of the English game and couldn't adapt at all. Don't think he learned the language either. I think Manucho could become useful for us, he has a great header and i can't wait to see him on the end of some Nani and Hargreaves crosses.
I always thought Dong´s problem was that he didn´t have much of a football brain, he could do decent things when he got the ball to his feet but when he had to be in the right place at the right time, he failed. I remember in his first team debut against Chelsea, Chris Eagles did fantastically to get down the left wing and get the cross in, but he stood somewhere at the edge of the penalty area and just watched.
I think his problems were a combination of what you just said and the previous post.
One thing's for sure, Manucho's shown more in his first 2 reserve games than Dong showed in his first 20.
The goals from the game:
great .thanks a lot
thanks for that!
