Late notice, the game is tomorrow!
Might see a few of the u18's considering a few of our u21's are with the first team for tomorrow. Hopefully Januzaj may reappear.
Januzaj has a knee injury apparently. Hopefully we get to see Lawrence, Mculloch, Charni and maybe a cameo appearance from Daehli.
More of Henriquez please
How did you find that out? Wondered where he had gone.
Parreira didn't feature on saturday, perhaps with a view to tonight? I think Henriquez will start up top and Macheda will move out wide into Lingards place.
Regarding Januzaj I saw it on twitter.
Heard nothing about Perreira but I suspect he was missing Saturday because he was probably away with Belgium.
I don't think he will be involved in u21s much at all this year, lots of players ahead of him currently, same with most of the current u18s. He is only 16 after all. Pearson, Barmby, Rothwell, Daehli, Januzaj are the ones who should be getting reserve team experience by the end of the season.
I saw an interview with Paul McGuinness recently on mutv where he talked about how there is a big group currently in the u21s, so what they have done is divided it into 2 squads, a reserve 'A' team and 'B' team if you like. The idea is to get players in the 'B' to play for a place in the 'A' squad. The 'B' team matches are usually behind closed doors. As players get loaned out further on into the season the squad will be trimmed down.
Incidentally some of the people who attended the 'B' matches were saying how poor Bebe was even in these games and that is why I wasn't surprised when he didn't make the League cup squad the other night.
Møller Dæhli looks too good for that level. He's dazzling.
I really hope he can kick on, what a talent.

Tunners and Lingard on CL duty?
Wouldn't mind a stream pls
Is Thorpe still the captain of the reserves? A surprise he didn't get a look-in for the senior team when Wootton and M.Keane are included ahead of him

Yes.
What sort of player is Ekangamene? Seen him play but wasn't taking much notice.
Henriquez starts.
Vermijl replaced with Henriquez says MUTV.
Vermijl apparently injured in the warm-up. Angelo Henriquez starts in his place
Cheers guys for the stream
Johnstone
Cole Thorpe Fornasier Veseli
Petrucci Brady Ekangamene
Macheda Henriquez King
Cole Thorpe Fornasier Veseli

Macheda Henriquez King
edit: No Vermijl, Henriquez in
Was quite looking forward to seeing Cole in midfield though. Guess he'll take Vermijl's place now.
A central midfielder apparently, who can play up front as well so someone posted.
Wearing last season's away kit.
Full-back, winger in a 4-4-2, cm. That's where I've seen him. Not up front.
Looking forward to seeing Henriquez again
So, time to change my lineups game picks, Macheda and Vermijl won't be coming off the bench against Cluj.
Charni can play left back or CM.
I don't think I've seen him yet, good to know. His official profile says he's a central midfielder, but not surprised to hear he's played a lot of other positions for our reserve team. That's so like us.
So Veseli is at right back, looks like Brady at left back?
Are those people's houses behind the goal? Or is that part of a training complex?
If someone could PM me a stream I'd greatly appreciate it.
Our passing is all kinds of fecked up.
Yes, it's not been much to look at so far.
Think the only touch our front 3 have had is a knee in Josh King's back
I wish Joyce would encourage us to play out from the back. Johnstone just keeps lumping forward.
This hasn't been a very good game.Sloppy passing all around. We haven't been able to produce anything for the front 3 yet.
Joyce has lost the plot.

Not a good game this so far, we can not generate any play..
Dry game, this!
Very bland 1st half, King perhaps should have done better with his chance
