U18s vs Liverpool

[Pogue Mahone]

Live on MUTV (huzzah!) @ 11am

Really hoping we go with the same XI we used in the youth cup game. Could watch them play football all day long.

[Pogue Mahone]

Bummer. Oh well. At least we get to watch Mainoo again.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

1-0 to Liverpool. Corner hung in the air (very windy) and nodded in at the far post. Keeper could probably have done better.

 

[Drainy]

Ogunneye having a game to forget so far

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Scrappy, low quality game. Think the wind is a big factor. Although Liverpool coping with it slightly better than we are.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

More than slightly. That’s 2-0. Great goal.

 

[Fanta Stick]

Pye and Ennis linking up nicely down the left and Ennis pulls one back.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

2-1 with last kick of the game. Ennis missed a chance earlier when he used the outside of his right foot when he should probably have used his left. Went for the exact same technique again and scored a nice goal.

 

[Adnan]

Ennis scores 1-2

Good to see Pye back after so long out. Some really good deliveries. Big fan of Oyedele and nice to hear him recently called up for Poland’s youth side. Kambwala would make Smalling look silky on the ball.

For some reason I always thought Oyedele was English.

For some reason I always thought Oyedele was English.

He is, born in Manchester with Polish and Nigerian parents so can play for all 3.

 

[AltiUn]

Ah yeah that makes sense.

 

[AltiUn]

3-1 Liverpool after a quick counter.

 

[AltiUn]

Ogunneye with some tremendous defending only for Kambwala to give the ball away cheaply immediately after

 

[Connor C]

As much as I want to support the youngsters. Willy Kambwala is really testing my patience here.

Kambwala is trying to make things happen, which isn't working fir him. He's missed a lot of football in the last 18 months, so maybe he should just play regulation passes without attempting to maraude forward.

Not watching, just a bit rusty and trying too hard?

 

[AltiUn]

4-1 Liverpool, they've been the much better team today.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

4-1. Their attackers are so much quicker than our defenders. Can’t cope with counters.

 

[Adnan]

Not watching, just a bit rusty and trying too hard?

He's rusty for sure and trying to play his natural game. And then if you factor in the opponent and weather conditions, then maybe it would've been better to keep things simple.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Get in! 4-3 now.

 

[Adnan]

Kambwala scores 4-2

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Kwambala and Hugiill. Less than 10 seconds between the goals.

 

[Adnan]

Get in! 4-3 now.

I'm miles behind you, if it's 4-3

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I'm miles behind you, if it's 4-3

You’re about 20 seconds behind me!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Pushing for a 4th here. We’ve actually been dominant in the second half. Just keep getting picked off on the break.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Oh for feck’s sake. That’s 5-3. They have scored the exact same goal three times now.

 

[AltiUn]

Both teams are rattled defensively

 

[londonredmaniac]

Hopefully he can push on next season free of injury.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

5-4. Ennis with his second. Terrific assist by Gore.

 

[AltiUn]

I really like Gore, so much quality about him. What a game!

 

[Adnan]

Liverpool are rattling here.

 

[londonredmaniac]

Sounds entertaining

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Christ! Thought that was a 6th. Just offside.

 

[AltiUn]

Anyone who doesn't watch U18 football really is missing out, just pure entertainment.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I really like Gore, so much quality about him. What a game!

He’s been class since he’s come on.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Woohoo! 5-5. Quality team goal.

 

[Fanta Stick]

5-5! Hugill
