U21s: Chelsea vs United

Nice this is on the schedule for the main streaming sites so hopefully they'll be up. Was concerned it was going to be looked over since its on the same time as many senior matches.
 
Saw someone tweet this weekend that the game is free to view on Chelsea tv
 
Blackett DM Grimshaw CM Love RW?Interesting...

Where the heck are Pearson,Rothwell and Harrop?Hopefully means they're on loan soon and not injured...
 
Poor team for probably the toughest game of the season. As weak a midfield as I have seen from us in a while.

There is a reason Love and Grimshaw haven't played much for us in the past 17 months and I don't believe its injury.

Grimshaw has been injured the whole last season...Love was sidelined for most of the second half of that campaign.Started a few games for us before that and did ok.

I knew that and I still think they are both well below the level we should have in our under 21 side.

Agree although they were both partly the victims of the quality we have at their positions.They both did well with the U18s.
 
What the feck has happened to Pearson and Rothwell?

Our youth section on OS is really horrendous. They've literally no updates(injury or otherwise) on any of our youngsters.

Yeah. Doesn't bode well for Goss and Willock that they can't even get into a significantly weakened starting XI.

With our injury luck I won't be surprised if the trio (Pearson,Rothwell,Harrop) are all injured am.Although they could be heading out on loan.

That's what we usually did though starting older players ahead of the more promising ones.Charni played ahead of Pearson/Rothwell last season.
 
Can't help but be a bit disappointed every time Pearson isn't in a line-up.

Yep maybe I'm being a bit harsh as they seem committed characters but both looked average technically even then. Hopefully they prove me wrong today.

Agreed. Goss especially should have made more appearances by now.

Unfortunate with injuries for today it seems anyway. Bet Joyce has a moan after the game.
 
Can't see us creating much. Hopefully we'll keep them at bay.
 
Chelsea have some really talented individuals, a stronger team than us, but we have THE biggest talent on the pitch in Pereira.
 
Kiwomya was really fast.Shouldn't let James one-on-one with him too many times.

HT:0-0.Wish we have Harrop or Mitchell for this the right wing of Janko-Love has done nothing of noted so far offensively.
 
Great little pass from Keano to set Janko away though.
