Henderson - Reid, Tuanzebe, TFM, BJ - Redmond, Thompson - Dearnley, Gribbin, Rashford - Croskery

Subs: Byrne, Warren, Scott, Hamilton, Mitchell

Kicks off in 5 minutes.
 
Seems it's Croskery to the left in a three behind Rashford, not the other way around.
 
Rashford going close for a second time. Can't see us not scoring in this one.
 
Tuanzebe seems to get bigger, stronger and more dominant each game. I can see him being the first of this group to get a senior appearance.
 
0-1 HT. Intense, physical game. Loving this ref.
 
FT: 1-1.

Good performance from United esp the 2nd half though Villa has been better in the 1st half.
 
1-1 FT.

Should have won that, feels like the final 20 or so minutes were played mostly inside Villa's box.
 
Other results:
Everton 2-0 Chelsea
City 3-4 WBA
Boro 4-0 Spurs

This play-off has been very interesting so far.Everton the only team with 2 wins if I'm not wrong.

U16s finished 2-2.Apparently Hamilton was the standout.
 
Boro having a new golden age ? They were outstanding in the League as well

Everton smashed them 4-0 in the previous match.They have some good talents in their current crop though.

Spurs seems to have some trouble with their defence.Already conceded 10 in 2 matches.We'll play them away next week.
 
Just realised Croskery played yesterday and I spent the whole time thinking it was Riley :nervous: Hope no serious injury for Riley (and Williams) btw.

Croskery had a decent game. A few displays of real ability on the ball, especially first half. He might be a better player than I've given him credit for.

He's a tremendous player but this wasn't really one of his better games. He got dragged out of position too easily and on a couple of occasions we were lucky not to concede because of it.

Yeah I'm always under impression that he's not really a striker.His ability on the ball was never a question for me but he just doesn't score enough goals.
