Barclays Under-21 Premier League Group 2
Kick-off: Monday, 5 November, 7:00 PM GMT
Location: Moss Lane, Altrincham, Greater Manchester (6,085)



 
Think I might try and make this my next game, looking forward to seeing more of Henriquez
 
Two goals and one assist for Henriquez in two starts and one sub appearance, a fine start. Frankly we're a bit lucky to have a record of 3W 2D 1L considering we've only scored 12 goals and conceded 10.

Where is Petrucci? Is he injured?
 
This should be a good test agaisnt some experienced players.

Im liking the look of that team as well. My guess at how they will line-up;

-------------Johnstone------------

Vermijl---Wootton-Fornasier--McGinty

---------Tunnicliffe--Thorpe-------

Cole---------Powell------------Januzaj

------------Macheda------------------
 
Turned it over that very second. :lol: fecking hell. Where was the closing down then?
 
I've been trying to think what Powell reminds of when he runs. A penguin, maybe.

Retarded pass back there on the right, lucky to get a goal kick out of it.
 
Powell's having a good game so far. Showing some good dribbling ability out on the left side.

He looks a class apart from everyone else on the pitch. What does Robin Van Persie run like btw?
 
Alabi looking like a player against us for the second time this season.
 
Moves breaking down every time McGinty gets the ball so far
 
Yanuze is good but imo Daehli looks m0re talented to me.

Both have a very god chance though.

He absolutely has zero of the required attributes to be a success at fullback, it's like they've just stuck him out there cause he has a left foot and I would have hoped our coaches would know better than to follow that philosophy. Would be interested to see if he can hack it as a centre half, cause we certainly aren't learning anything watching him blunder around at left back..
 
Right, now I'm sold. Fantastic goal by Powell! :D
 
F*ck me, Powell just scored a wonder goal. Beat a host of Stoke defenders in the box, then drilled into the top corner.

He might be a bit good this lad.
