Oh that is a strong side....
Barmby, Dæhli, Pereira, Wilson in the same side - poor Spurs-defenders
Add Januzaj and Pearson to this lot.
Looking forward to this. Wilson back after his 5 goals last time.
Add Januzaj and Pearson to this lot.
Dæhli to the left - Barmby to the right - Pearson as a DM - Pereira as the AM - Januzaj and Wilson up front
and then we have Gorre, Harrop, Rudge, Weir, Rothwell and Byrne as backup
Now that is sexy football - and that would have been fun to watch

Not to forget we've talents like Mitchell coming up through in the U16's. The future's looking good.
You can't vouch for the future, and I know all of them won't make it here but I can see every player bolded having a very good career. All of them have abundance of natural ability.
Janzuaj might have a knee injury
Very annoying how unlucky he has been with his injuries so far.
Les Kershaw looks like a panda.
Yep some great options in this team when everyone is fit. Youth cup games this year will be very interesting. Hopefully Ioannou is back in time to shore up the defence.
Not sure who I would leave out but Rothwell is the first name on the team sheet for me when available. I think he is this years captain also.
Todays team is very attacking. I can see a lot of goals in this one at both ends.

Frantic start and almost a blunder at the back for us then!
No rivers?
Not much from United so far. One good goal kick from Gollini nearly sent Wilson through.
Stream anyone ?
Daehli is playing very deep today. Not in his usual position.
1-0 Spurs
Bit of a mess at the back
Bit of a mess at the back
Bloody hell. Awful goal to concede
Spurs score, scrappy goal but they've been the better side.
0-1
0-1
Chance to level straight away. Good response.
We've lacked a ball-winner and a controlling player in midfield, can't keep it long enough or win it back quick enough. Daehli's the only one who's done well in what looks like an unfamiliar role for him, Gorre's the only other attacker who's had a touch and he's done very little. Says it all that the best pass so far has come from our keeper.
I don't usually watch these matches but weren't we supposed to be better than this? We look like league 1 side.
Kershaw is class. He should do this every week.
Well done, excellent post.
We haven't been really great, you know? Like I said I don't regularly watch these games but after hearing the praise for some of the youngsters I am a bit puzzled thats all.
No surprise we're struggling in central midfield. Pearson, Rudge, Rothwell all missing.
You could have replied with this post earlier, you know.
Nah - don't buy that one - Weir and Dahlie are more than good enough.
It's just been flat....no players in our side has performed well so far
Well it's not Daehli's usual position, is it?
I won't be surprised to see Gorre subbed off, Daehli at left and Harrop on in the second half.
We're not matching their physicality in the middle.
Daelhi's had a trim, probably heard himself being compared to Kuyt because of his hairstyle on Wednesday 
Half time, Spurs've been the better side. We did well in a spell of ten minutes, but nothing much apart from that.
No real fluidity in our play, I feel the team's a bit imbalanced.
Impressed with Spurs. They came flying out of the blocks. Seem a bigger team than us. Some nice one touch football as well. See if they can keep it up 2nd half.
Like the others said, we need to get hold of the ball more. The gaps between the back 4, midfield and attack was too much early on. The boys did improved as the half went on but its been a struggle to get a hold on the game. Barmby has tried to make things happen, just not quite there at the moment.

I don't think you can expect consistency from u18s due to the nature of the setup. Daehli, Pereira and Barmby have looked good when they've got the ball, they've just not had a lot of it. The left back Rowley looks good on the ball. Gorre plays like Babel.
Poor half from us, with and without the ball. Probably our worst half of the season so far. Spurs are up for this and have pressed us very well and played some nice football. United are asleep. We're badly missing Ben Pearson in midfield.
We should be beating these even with our makeshift line-up. Despite being so poor we should of had at least a couple of goals. If we step it up second half we'll win this.
