Ooh good chance for Wolves.
Ismael seems decent.

Excellent camera placement...*sun*
This team would be so much better with a fit will Keane.
Would love to see Januzaj behind him.
Would love to see Januzaj behind him.
I think he sounds like a kid.
No homo.
Wow, what a penalty save that was from Gollini against Palace in the U18s.
Pearson's finish. Lucky boy.Well, I'll be damned, he kinda does. He sounds like a 90-year-old, gray, shriveled-up, little boy.
Amos could be a good keeper if he could actually kick a ball. He's got everything else...
We've come out a bit flat so far in the 2nd half. Thought we dominated the first half though.
Yeah, not a great start to this half.
Should have been in front first half though.

Shite pitch too...
Tunnicliffe should have done better.
What vision and pass by Januzaj.
What vision and pass by Januzaj.
Insane pass. Charni?
Yeah, was Ekangmene.
FFS. Scrappy goal.
Unlucky.
Had chances especially in the first half despite lacking a Striker so obviously. Second half performance was a bit flat though.
Kind of unlucky. Makes the 2 games after this crucial for qualification.

And the Pitch was shit.
Wolves U21 1 United U21 0
Wolves shaded a tight encounter with an 86th-minute goal by Sam Whittall enough to inflict a rare defeat on Manchester United's Under-21s.
The Reds needed a win to secure a place in the semi-finals of the Barclays-sponsored competition but, although Ryan Tunnicliffe hit the bar, it means there was no way past the Wolves defence in 180 minutes following the goalless draw at Moss Lane.
United started well with Adnan Januzaj forcing a diving stop out of Aljaz Cotman in the 10th minute and Tunnicliffe smashing against the woodwork after driving forward from a Larnell Cole pass. Januzaj blasted another attempt wide from the edge of the box but the hosts improved towards the interval.
Zeli Ismail beat Michele Fornasier and Ben Amos but could only hit the side-netting from a tight angle while efforts by Jack Price and Whittall brought the best out of Amos. A bobbly surface did not help either side and the play became scrappy with the tackles starting to fly in.
Januzaj was narrowly off target again soon after a burst forward by Tunnicliffe and the Belgian released the energetic midfielder with a glorious pass but a combination of goalkeeper and defender kept him out. United still pressed with Jesse Lingard firing over and a Januzaj cross narrowly evading Tyler Blackett, playing in a much more advanced role, as the opener refused to come.
Instead, against the run of play, the outstanding Tom Thorpe conceded a corner and a melee ensued with appeals for handball against Lee Evans turned down to allow Whittall to sweep in from close range. Amos went forward for a couple of corners late on but there was no way back for Warren Joyce's side.
United: Amos; Vermijl, Thorpe, Fornasier, James; Blackett (Lawrence 82), Ekangamene,Tunnicliffe, Cole, Lingard; Januzaj. Subs not used: J.Pereira, McCullough, Hendrie, van Velzen.

Not really...need one point from last 2. Far more important for the u18 the last 2 games.
Still better to be in the top 2, than 3rd with the way it is structured i think.
Think Liverpool lost last night too. They've got a tough run in.
Three points against WBA should guarantee second.
