Spurs were more threatening. We've had the possession but it's been in front of them. Nothing for Falcao to work with. Think he'll be taken off if he's involved for the first team.
U21s : Manchester United vs Tottenham
- Thread starter RedMachine03
- Start date
Pretty scrappy game so far. If Falcao didn't have such a fearsome reputation, he'd be hauled off at HT. Hasn't offered anything and doesn't make any useful runs. Wilson deserves to be leading the attack, in my opinion. He isn't as good on the left wing.
Rafael has been excellent tonight and his traits are there for all to see, but apparently doesn't fit LVG's "philosophy".
Grimshaw, Goes and Rothwell look like they can be quite a formidable midfield trio.

No wonder he never plays, he was female the whole time.
Fixed.
Feel for Wilson.At least Welbeck had to play winger because somebody better than him lead the line.
We could play Falcao in the u18 and Rashford would probably look better.
Rafael is far too good for this level.
Perfectly balanced on paper.Pearson for Grimshaw and it's
Admittedly haven't seen much of Pearson, but we look like we're stacked with midfield talent in the reserves, which makes a change from the first team. I look forward to seeing them break through, they certainly mlook like they have the talent.
I thought LVG ruined Falcao with bad man management.
What about mr Falcao, any is provement? Anything at all?
How's Falcao playing?
Uniteds midfield is not at their best.
On the periphery again.
We're not really getting enough players forward to threaten them. It's all a bit disjointed.
Falcao blocks another!
Get Rafa back in the first team.
Falcao blocked 2 of our own shots... ffs
Let's say this: if all the players were anonymised, I wouldn't be able to know who he was.
Struggled to stand out amongst the reserves. If anything, he's a hindrance to our attacking play so far. I feel sorry for him that he's had such a dramatic fall from grace.
Falcao Tottenham's best defender..
Rafael needs to get a run in the first team way to good..

How are Wilson and Pereira playing?
Rafael is playing this as if it's a CL final! I seriously adore him.
Excellent ball in from Kellett, no one on the end of it though.
Can we not borrow Warren Joyce for first team games to bark orders at the first teamers from the touchline as well?
He even does the squnity eye "Is it really me?" thing when taken off for the U21's 
Falcao off for Harrop. He's tried and worked hard, bless him - but sadly I fear that we'll never see him back to his best after today's showing.
I'm embarrassed for Falcao.
Falcao should really look into getting some contact lenses. He's forever squinting at the subs board.
LVG ignoring Rafael in so many matches, really shows how much of an idiot he is
Another good run and cross from Rafael.
So Falcao has done nothing then? That's him done here.
LvG wants a methodical machine, there is no place for individuals who take risks, express themselves, or who play like they care.
Rafael does not fit the mould, the only way he'll stay is if LvG goes imo.
Its true if you look at our first team, all play totally devoid of any creativity or even try a forward pass or get past their man, the only 2 players it seems allowed by Looney Louis to pass ball forwards are Blind and Di Maria
Awful match from United. Really, really should win against Spurs with Falcao, Wilson, Valdes, Rafael etc...
So dissapointed with Rothwell, Wilson, Pereira, Harrop. Should do more.
Really. I thought Wilson and Pereira had some really good moments. I agree that Rothwell was disappointing but it was his first game back.
Harrow still look unfit.Wonder if that problem with his groin still there.
He played against Bolton aswell.
Ok didn't know that.
