U21s: United vs. Newcastle

Wow, that was very impressive. Petrucci tackles the ball and steals it in one motion, and he's immediately up and putting Macheda through, whose left footed effort just bounces past the keepers left leg. 1-0 United.
 
Bloody hell, it is absolutely belting it down now. Shivering just looking at it!
 
That's some awful defending. 1-1.
 
Newcastle just tore us open to equalize. Great through ball and a good finish from Madison. All of a mishit goal kick too!
 
Lingard having a poor match so far.
 
surely that was Blackett - not Fornasier who let Maddison go ?

He did, but Fornasier was the center back for that area and he was off somewhere else entirely. Once an attacker moves that central I'd think the center back would want to come back and pick him up.

But maybe I'm wrong.
 
Great save from Johnstone - 1 on 1 and he stood tall and blocked the shot.

Fornasier and esp Blackett have been awful so far....I expect to see mcGinty for Blackett in the 2nd half.
 
2-1 the Italian connection again (via Lingard).

REALLY want Petrucci to get a chance in the first team here.

Yeah, it's really a shame for him that we have so much attacking talent at the club. He really deserves a shot at first team.
 
Great again, Petrucci should get a chance in the first team or get a loan or something. Just feels like he should handle it well.
 
2-2, defence looking sloppy. Two very poor goals given away.
 
in fairness - our central midfield hasn't helped them much. But every one in the back 4 has been really poor
 
Kiko just turned 21. Same age as Wooton and Petrucci.. 5 months older than Joshua King.

I still have hope... Please let him have a good loan spell where he gets games.
