U19 Leverkusen vs Utd
- Thread starter sajeev
- Start date
feck. Any line ups for us? Who got sent off this time?.
4 sent-offs in 5 games right?
2-0 down at HT
As long as Shakhtar don't beat Sociedad we'll still go through as we'll beat the former at home.
Anticlimactic half after the strong performance in Sociedad. A few nice moments from the likes of Wilson, Rothwell and Janko but we haven't really been in this aside from the opening 10 minutes or so.

decent start to the second halfLeverkusen-keeper sent off, penalty to United 5 seconds into the second half.
2-1 Wilson pen. Game on.
wilson gets one back through penalty. Leverkusen keeper sent off
What a start 
callum evans on for rowley
harrop on for bryne
I would love to Pearson in the first team. He brings qualities which have been missing for some time. I am not sure if he can cope with the level for some time now though
two saves in a row from the Leverkusen keeper saving certain goals
Still 0-0 in the other game
3-1 FT.
We didn't deserve to lose that but then I'm not sure we deserved to win the reverse fixture. Anyway, plenty of positives after a solid second half.

Deserved a lot more from that second half. Leverkusen were pretty filthy and had 6 yellows and a red even with the ref letting a few other things go which should have been bookings
Given how the group has gone, they have to be pleased to just need a win at home to Shakhtar to progress.
Random thought - not just us picking up red cards, 30 in the group stage as a whole so far. That's compared to just 12 in the senior competition, pretty big disparity.
I think that the competition has been reffed like a typical european tie, whereas most of the refereeing at youth levels is a lot more lenient. Its not a bad thing for the lads to get used to.
From the highlights, our midfield looked very good. Rothwell and Pearson both show great promise.
Indeed. Very mature performances from the both of them. Rothwell's high pressing was impressive, he's a very quick lad.
Not seen the highlights. Anyone got a link please?
