U18s: United vs Everton
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
Everton has just beaten Derby in their last game so let's see if they are a tricky opponent for our lads.
It's really up to us - if we play anywhere near our best level, we are a much better team
Such a strong squad.
Will Murdock's younger brother Freddie is on the bench for Everton. Think he was with us for a bit when he was younger.
From numbers 7-11. Scary.

1-0 Obi (Scanlon)
Obi Martin had two touches in the first five min - the first saved on the line and the second a goal. Not bad at all
Love watching Thwaites play. So tidy with both feet.
Did we get any official word on Lacey?
That doesn’t happen. The clubs don’t disclose youth players’ injuries. Actually the same more and more regarding first team players.
He is injured then.. was not even sure about that.
Mantato is quality

Well there’s no other reason why he wouldn’t be in any of the squads (U21s, U19s or U18s). At least I can’t think of one.
Mantato and Igrabimov are so positive. Obi-Martin should have a hat trick already
Yea, there would no other logical reason for him to be missing anyways.
Hopefully not another serious injury that would keep him out for long like last season.
Only just tuned in and it's still 1-0 after 32mins. Our hardest test so far this season?
Ibragimov is getting annoyed by Obi’s lack of passing. A few times he’s passed it and not received it back
Not really - we should have scored 3-4 goals in this first half - but we have been a bit more sloppy than usual
Noticed this too.
Ibragimov is the best player on the pitch from the little I've seen. Thwaites very nice too.
I can understand that - I think Obi Martin is quite annoying to play with. He is a great goalscorer - but he has a lot to learn as a footballer

We should’ve scored a few more.

I have been really impressed with Mills - he looks like a really decent defender.
I think Everton have been pretty resilient, to be fair to them
They have - but normally we would have scored a few more goals - and they have not produced much going forward
Not sure which one that is. I noticed our LCB. Great on the ball.
We’re getting closer and closer to that important second goal.

Lovely technique.
Wonderful freekick that from Thwaites. We have so many quality players in the u-18s it's ridiculous.

Kukonki almost makes it three. Everton’s keeper has been very good.

Really impressed with the u18s, lots of wise heads on young shoulders.
Extremely impressed with Thwaites. Often overlooked but he looks a real player. Free kicks like Beckham too
He’s so good. Clever, calm and composed but still very ambitious.

Lusale on for Scanlon.

Hoping to see a better cameo from Lusale today - yet to really kick-start his United career.
The same can be said of Dante Plunkett, who's been here for longer. He arrived as a highly rated, and much needed, left back but doesn't seem to start many games - and seems to switch over to right back as much as he plays left back whenever he's on the pitch.
