Has even one of their players got booked ?
They need games regardless, plus clubs scout PL2 matches too, so it’s a shop window opportunity for them.
Should've been 2-0, that was a great ball by Emeran.
I was just going by some of the rumours. Some of our players are cursed by injuries. Really need to catch a break to get a decent career going.
Looking at Emeran, could have been an option at RW if he had not been near constantly out injured.

Another great piece or work from Emeran on the right. Accurate cross to Mejía who fails to tap it in.

They are but you can’t not play them because they are injury-prone. The opposite really. If they get injured so be it. Could easily get injured in training too.
This ref did the Bromley v Barnet game at the weekend and was total shite.
Emeran has been very good today.
That was naughty from the Palace player.
Fair play to Palace, they've scored with their first attack in 40 minutes

1-1. Well-worked goal. Their second chance of the afternoon.
HT. We should have a comfortable lead. A good opening 45 minutes of the season even if we conceded that goal.

Nice to see how the club helps players who's got it rough. Paul Woolston there in the set at half-time. Former academy player, retired at age 23.
The Onana effect. Well, let us see if there is any difference in how we play, apparently ETH wants the academy to play in a similar style to our 1st team, let us see if there are any changes.
Emeran, Collyer and A Hansen have been impressive for me. I used to think he was passive for all his skill, but his been pressing and putting in work. I’m a little disappointed with Shola though and Hugill.
It’s good to see in both youth games more of the tactics employed by the first team. High press and interchanging of positions being notable.

McNeill on for Hugill at HT.
The best half I’ve seen from him in a United shirt.

United done very well there to come forward under the Palace press. If only the cutback from Emeran was a bit better…

Another pen for United. Brilliant run into the box from Hansen-Aarøen.

And he can play both sides too, definitely similar in style for sure.

Penalty saved.
Penalty saved.
Whitworth should’ve been booked for the antics before the penalty as per the new rules. Very good save though, it wasn’t a bad pen from Jurado.
Really balanced player and a leader I think.
Finally a booking for Palace.
A bit unnecessary from Gardner and Thornley to keep on criticising the earlier Palace trialist. Hard enough for him as it is.
64’
Oyedele booked.
Oyedele booked.
Definitely off the line, quite obvious when you pause it.
Not sure its an Onana effect, Wooster has been doing that for a long time already.
Two good saves in quick succession from Myles.
Would love to see Williams come on to the left.
70’
Ogunneye on for Hansen-Aarøen. Oyedele moves up to midfield.

Palace creating much more than in the first half. United started the second half well but it’s anyone’s game really.

Williams comes on, Mejía off. Good start from the Colombian but faded away after that.

2-1 Palace. The trialist winger gets the goal he and the hosts deserve. Disappointing defending from Ogunneye.

Finally- 2-2 Emeran

2-2. Good one-two from Emeran and Jurado and Emeran finishes well.
Brilliant run from Emeran and above all he kept moving after the pass to Jurado.

If anyone's interested the Palace Trialist 'B' is Roshaun Mathurin, ex-Spurs. Was considered a big talent few years ago but had a nightmare with injuries.

Emeran booked.

He’s been their best player. Could’ve had a hat trick.
