Taken from Mr.Mujac's twitter
Wilson not playing today then.
Donald Love, he's gotta make it with that name
No Wilson, no Pereira. But it's great to see Rothwell back.
Edit; Wilson is injured.

Sam Byrne with a good run and shot off the post
Good assist from the Sunderland player for Byrne's goal 
Bit like Nani's against Liverpool a few years back

Crazy challenge from the S'land captain on Rowley. Should have been off.
Was nasty yeah, but as commentators said you very rarely see sending offs at this level - and quite rightly so tbh. Would most likely have been a sending off on senior level though.
1-0 HT. Tidy first half. Dæhli and Byrne our best performers.
I'm not so sure. I think it's better to try to eradicate the impuse sooner rather then wait for someone to have their leg broken.

Decent game. Quite open, hopefully more chances created in second half.
Yeah, of course but that's why refs usually spends more time talking to players at this level. Like when Dæhli was hacked down from behind he took time to talk to the player and the captain, which evidently helped.
I get your point though, and that tackle that got the captain booked probably should've been a sending off even at this level.
Still no word on where Januzaj is?
Rudge hits the top of the bar with shot from outside the box
Dæhli makes it 2-0 just before going into injury time.
FT: 2-0. Decent game for United, Dæhli was great as usual.
Dæhli is playing in a league of his own at this level....
Needs bumping up to the u-21s full time (with the exception of Youth Cup matches) pretty soon, he's too good for this level now. Just need to send some of the u21 lads out on loan first.
I hope Dæhli makes it big just so people can show off their foreign letter keyboard skills and can point at those who just call him Daehli.
I'll just copy/paste from people who do have fancy foreign keyboards.
Yår jøst jealøs, mæn.
I'm also confused about this dissapearing act. I've heard no news about any injury.
He's clearly injured. There's rarely any official confirmation when non-first teamers are out though the likes of ps18 and mr. mujac usually know what's going on.
I thought they all had a decent game today. Dæhli was a cut above and Pearson showed that he's very solid defensively, especially after Rothwell went off for Gorre.

What's happened to the keepers from last year? Gollini seems on the bench for the u21s as well.
Byrne looks pretty good, Not seen much of him? How good is he?
Also Daehli is class.
Also Daehli is class.
Looks like he aged 3 years in one summer. He seems to have good technique, decent strength and pace. Needs to work on his finishing though from what I've seen.
And yes, Dæhli is amazing. A player who has everything except physical maturity.
Like who?
Johnstone is still there, Amos is on loan, Coll left, Sutherland I'm not sure
Liam Jacob too
Watched the highlights last night. Daehli has amazing technique. Dare I say it, but he reminds me of Iniesta in the way he can turn on a sixpence and maintain possession. Sunderland could not get near him.
Where was Perreira?
Yes, as his former coach said he has a little bit of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta about him..
oh god, that just reminded me of the academy match a few years ago when Liverpool destroyed an u-16s side at u-18s level (we had the FA youth cup semi-final second leg a few days later so rested our 17 and 18 year olds)- a 15 year old Mats Dæhli was playing and remarkably enough was out muscled. Just remembered the sneering scouse commentator derisively saying 'United reckon he's like Messi, Iniesta and Xavi all rolled into one, our lads look better- who are they like?' *shudder*
Remember that game too, down at Kirkby 6-0, my brother was talking too much shit. Hopefully he makes it to the first team, shits on them and that clip gets rebroadcast!
Playing for Belgium under 17s
Fair do.
