U21s: Leicester vs. United
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Well, this team will be without Larnell Cole (Fulham), Ryan Tunnicliffe (Fulham), Will Keane (QPR), Tom Lawrence (Yeovil), Charni Ekangamene (Carlisle), Sam Byrne (Carlisle), Will Zaha (Cardiff), Fabio (Cardiff), Frederico Macheda (Birmingham), Tom Thorpe (Birmingham), Tyler Blackett (Birmingham)...and I missing anyone?
That even makes a pretty decent outfield 10!
There's no doubt that we'll be seeing a very different team to usual on monday.

I've only been following the reserves for the last 18-24 months or so, but have we ever had such an exodus like today's?
I'd expect Pearson, Goss, Weir, Wilson, Ioannou to step up to the U21's now and really cement places in the first XI.

Hopefully Andreas gets a game. Would be good to get him 4/5 months at this level with the possibility of him then going with the squad for pre-season.

Well, you can even put a keeper in there! Didn't Johnstone go out on loan too? Or did I imagine that?
He did. Kept a clean sheet for Doncaster in his debut.

Would Rothwell not be more likely beside Petrucci with Pereira further up the pitch?
Lou Macari just basically said he wouldn't have a problem seeing Wilson on the bench for a Champions League match.
Is Schlupp still our player?
Any streams for the match?
Excellent line-up. Time for last season's academy stars to really stake their claim at this level.
No. Never was.
Strange that Lingard, Petrucci and Keane are still there. Don't see much point in reserve football for them at this stage.
Maybe they're thinking of them as emergency cover for the first team, or they're trying to find them a premier league team to loan out to.
Mr. MUJAC said that he reckons Lingard is staying to be involved with the first team. As for the others - who knows. Keane's just back from an unsuccessful loan so I'm sure he's reluctant to jump at just anything.
Yep. If they spend the next few months playing for the reserves though, it won't do them any favours.
Was Keane's loan unsuccessful? That's disappointing.
He started off solidly enough, then he had a poor game against Leicester and was dropped.
Willock is on the bench.
Was he dropped or was the defender he was covering back from injury?
possibly the player returned from injury at the right time, he needed to be taken out of the firing line after that last showing
Petrucci looks classy.
Excellent little run from James and a really good bit of vision for the little pass too.
Feels wrong to say it about a 22 year old, but Petrucci is rolling back the years so far
I would love to see Moyes take a gamble and throw Petrucci into a first team game.
Petrucci is bossing this so far for me, some of the passes he's making are fantastic.
I might actually be sad enough to go to the Youth Cup tie on my own on Valentine's Day.No he was Leicester's player.
Well that freekick was a bit sublime
Wonderful goal Petrucci.
Excellent half from Davide. What a fecking player he would have been had he not lost those 2 years.
Screw the first team. The reserves are our team to watch this year. Actual attacking football, one-touch passing, invention - it's glorious! And that's without an entire team who are out on loan.
Let's promote Warren Joyce!
Let's promote Warren Joyce!
And some of his athleticism.
Janko is a very exciting prospect.
James Wilson having one of those games where there is always a defender in the way
Michael Keane is the one I believe in the most...he isn't far behind Evans, Smalling and Jones in my opinion
Stumbled a little bit this year I feel, but I have a lot of faith in his chances of making a big impact here.
