U21s: United v Palace

That is a very young U21 side - not a single player who has turned 20
 
Where’s Iqbal?
 
Really poor defending on that set piece.

Not too sure about Mee.
 
I really don't see it with Will Fish
I'm not going to pretend I'm some expert as this is the first time I'm watching reserve football but he does indeed look poor today. Is this how he normally plays or is he just having a bad game today ?
 
I don’t think Fish has a plaice in this team

I'm sure he has good games but whenever I watch him he's always soft and all over the place.
 
Sloppy loss of possession from Hanson.

Fish's defensive awareness and positioning is shocking, quite Carp to be honest.

Mee again looked soft.
 
Nice to see the U21’s are as susceptible to the counter attack as the first team are
 
Christ we are so sloppy, Shoretire this time.

Good save from Mee, feel bad for picking on Fish. But he was already hitting the deck and turning his back on that shot.
 
Will Fish was a good defender 2 years ago - I wonder what happened to him. He is awful these days
 
Wellens has so much time down the right wing everytime we attack shame we haven't done much with it.

Also, why is Shoretire dropping so deep? He was right next to Savage when he gave the ball away there.

I wonder how much of a knock his confidence took when he went out on loan to Conference Stockport and didn't get a look in.

I've never been fully sold on him.
 
Wellens put two decent crosses in early on that no one attacked.

One we should have scored from and a nice pull back for Savage there.

Certainly looks to be our best creative outlet tonight.
 
Mainoo and Savage have looked very good. Mainoo especially pretty much always stands out when I watch the young'uns. Wellens has had a good game, but I'm not sure how much of that is down to Palace giving him a tonne of time and space down that side for some reason.

Nobody else has really covered themselves in any glory, though.
 
I've liked the look kf Mejia. Looks like he's filled out quite a bit and wonder if that makes him a bit more robust and less chance of injury.
 
Wow! Our defence is terrible at this level. What in earth was Wellens doing there- no pressure to stop the cross at all! 1-3
 
Keeper getting in on amateur hour, also should be sent off. Randomly socked a Palace player who just happened to be nearby in the face!
 
There is no excuse for what Mee is doing...I hope I never get to see him play for us again.
