U21s: United vs. Chelsea

What did Young do - did it lead to the goal? And who scored for us?
 
This is a good game for us, regardless of the result. I watch this team steamroller other sides all the time and wonder how much benefit they get from it.

Brown and Da Silva will learn a lot form coming up against the likes of Rafael.
 
Shitty pass back to a defender which our player stole and passed for a tap in.

OG scored for you. Some gimp battered a free kick into our wall and it bounced off at a stupid angle into the net.
Well I suppose when your whole defense if based on fouling players as soon as they get into the final 3rd its bound to happen sometime :rolleyes:
 
Powell's been working hard recently, Someone finally got through to him?
 
2 first teamers (one coming back from injury) and a reserve goalkeeper playing in an unfamiliar formation against a Chelsea side that are very familiar with one another, calm yourself down.

I would say that Valdes, Rafael, Young and Blackett is first teamers. Powell and James have played aswell. Pereira been involved...

That's because we give young players opportunities. Not because we've 'brought out the big guns'.

Doesn't mean they can't play at youth level as well. 4 of those mentioned are still 21 or under so don't really see the problem.
 
Powell with a great chance to get a third goal. Miscontrols a beautiful ball that was played through to him

Valdes, James and Pereira have played how many first team games? Blackett only got a look in because of the ridiculous injury crisis. Do we include christensen as a first teamer for Chelsea?

Blackett sucked for the u21s. It's not like he's above that level.
 
Powell should be on loan somewhere. He seems to have his head together now.

Valdes have played plenty, but not for United obviously. But does it matter wich club he played for? Blackett have played plenty of games, injury crisis or not.

But yeah, Blackett isn't anything special ut U21 level.

Yes it does matter, just because they have played first team football doesn't make them a first team player, that's why they are playing in the reserves...

Anyway, last half an hour we played well.
 
Decent second half of football. Perreira looked your best player.
Wier changed a lot when he came on, Willian the 2nd looks a decent player for you.
 
Yeah, he'll have a decent Prem career at least. Not at Chelsea of course but he'll play for England.
I dunno, you might buy him back for a cool £30mil in a few years.
