Yeah was going to point out that you were really close.
Apparently, Wilson is taking Love's place on the bench.

No Dæhlie? 
we want 'The Daehli Show'
So yeah, hopefully a good performance from Januzaj. Should feel more st ease surrounded by more youth players, hopefully he'll stand out again.
Grealish. Is he the one who absolutely tore us a new one in the academy game earlier this season?
I need to stop pronouncing Januzaj as "Janujazz"
I keep imagining him running around whilst playing a saxophone.

Thats him.
Yep thats him. Im just hoping the Ireland under 19s manager doesnt annoy him into quitting the Ireland underage set up like has happened with a couple of others
Who is captain tonight?
I quite like Tom Lawrence, great to see him getting a start from the U21 team.
Bebe.
Bebe's the captain tonight.
Injured, hamstring I think
Not exactly a sign they're looking to sell him in January!
Or maybe we're trying to fool potential buyers.
Rio Ferdinand's dad is from St Lucia Lou.
Some good play there, nice shot by #10.
Henriquez has been so isolated so far. These long balls out of defense don't help either.
Bebe special.
Yes the Bebe cross!
I guess it's because he's the senior man on the pitch tonight.
Of course with several reserve players making the trip to Turkey it's not as much of a compliment as it might be otherwise.
I shouldn't tease him, I'm only picking on him because it seems no one wants to defend him anymore!
In fairness to Bebe, the first team squad has gotten quite packed. He's no worse than Obertan, who was given a fair few games for the first team. But back then we had little depth in the winger position.
Never noticed how much Michael Keane looks like a young Ian Brown before.
Bit silly from Lawrence losing the ball unnecessarily there, forced Fornasier into that foul.
Lazy play from Lawrence there nearly cost us...

Yeah, I understood what you were saying GD. I don't see it as a compliment either. He's definitely a special case. I don't have high hopes for him. His technical ineptitude no longer surprises me. See Bebe cross from earlier today
You made a thread the other day asking whether players like him are blocking the progress of several promising youngsters. I say yes but it's a puzzling scenario. It's obvious he needs first team games but which professional team will take a punt on him after witnessing him in the reserves? I hope a club (even a League 1 club) comes in for him or we just let him go nicely at the end of the season a la Manucho and Dong.
Three good moments in a row from Januzaj.
Januzaj should have shot when he was on the edge of the box, or at least thrown in a cross.
Brilliant from Januzaj and Lawrence, should have got a goal!
How did Lawrence not score there?
Would have been so easy to dribble past the keeper there. Players don't do enough of that.
Should always lift it in that situation.
Januzaj has been good so far...impressive awareness.
Januzaj seems like one of those who needs to get himself in the mood with a couple of good moves. He's twice as up for it now as he was ten minutes ago, and looking very dangerous.
Think subtle digs at city's elite squad.

I can see Bebe becoming worth 2-3 mil in a situation like Newcastle buying Obertan, but really that's looking fairly unlikely at this point. But I think we're hanging onto that hope and that's why he's still with us.
The people in that Bebe/Macheda thread have swayed me, I think we'd get more out of the spot in the squad/team developing other players.
How is Bebe doing?
the Aston Villa number 7 seems talented.
Again Lawrence. He's a great player but he's been too complacent at times today.
Wow, what a chance for Villa, fantastic save by Sutherland.
Very poor from Lawrence there. No place to be messing about.
