What the f*ck is Hoogewerf doing?
So greedy.
So greedy.
Pellistri's enjoying this match. He just nutmegged a Southampton player and tried to nutmeg the same player again!

Did he wait for him to catch up just to try it again

Only they’d kick George mercilessly
To be fair to Pellistri, he didn't have too many good options ahead of him. Still, it did kind of look like that, didn't it?Did he wait for him to catch up just to try it again
Reece Devine's also looked very good at left back. He's stopped everything in front of him, and coming forward, he's been assured on the ball even though he's somewhat safe.
He played against West Ham recently, after a fair absence. Another setback perhaps.
Different class this Pellistri boy
Jeez. Feel for the lad
The United players are clearly doing their utmost to make up for the surprising yet deserved loss to West Ham, but there have been many occasions where they try too hard and not go for something simpler. Recently, Puigmal got on the ball for a counter, and instead of playing it to Elanga, he decided to bring it forward on his own before attempting a tougher pass.
Puigmal seems to be a pretty damn decent player
Game over. Puigmal just finished of a pretty good counterattack with United's 3rd.
Fernandez gets the ball in our 3rd, and he keeps it with lots of composure whilst surrounded by 3-4 Southampton players. He then plays it back to Fish, who plays an accurate first-time pass to Hoogewerf. Dillon takes a touch to settle on the ball before playing a good through pass to Shoretire. Shoretire slows down a bit on the ball, and with Hoogewerf breaking forward through the middle, Shoretire plays a pass to Puigmal, who's completely free on the right flank. Puigmal takes a touch to set himself up for a powerful shot, which is saved by Southampton's keeper though rebounded back to the middle of the box. Puigmal then stretches in with his right foot and bends the ball inside the far post.

Wow. Like I was there! Thanks mate
That was a fun game to watch. Southampton are decent, really like that Ferry lad at left back.
Good result
Good result
If anyone has a vid of the goals...many thanks
Can you write up a running description of all our youth matches? Cheers mate!
If Devine was at LB, where was Fernandez playing?
Just like to say a special thank you to Puigmal. Having watched about 88 total minutes of the match, I had somehow managed to miss all three earlier goals and their replays. At least I got to catch the one that killed it off.
He/she clearly enjoys it! Great stuff
He was at right back. He did surprisingly well there despite being left-footed. I guess him being relatively comfortable with his right foot helps him out.
I'm glad you liked that description, though I thought I could have done a better job with it.
I can try as long as work doesn't keep me held back.
It's probably why I took the time to write that.
To be fair, a few other posters in this thread have done a good job of keeping track of the events.
Well it was as good as the radio descriptions when they only have seconds to describe the action so you get a flavour of the action. Only you wrote it!I'm glad you liked that description, though I thought I could have done a better job with it.

Ahh thanks. And that is good to hear about him. Someone with cool hair like that deserves to have a long career at the highest level.
Here are the classified football results with James Alexander Gordon:
Manchester United 3 - Southampton 1
Important win after the disappointing result against West Ham, a solid performance and all of our goals were very nice therefore everyone should be happy
We can be pleased with our season so far.....some good results (We are just 3 points behind the league leaders and in the knock-out round of the EFL-Trophy), many good performances and few players have improved their level too.

Would like to see how Puigmal plays at higher level. Hes been another level this year and I was really worried he would fall off
Isn't he a free agent at the end of the season? Rumours that Barca will try to grab him
They'd be right too he looks really good.
Little stud too, snatch would be all over him.
Where is galbraith?
Could see him leaving if there's no path to first team in fairness. Would do wonders in La Liga I reckon
Cool customer that Shoretire. Calm work for the two assists!
Really pleased to see Devine get his form back. Fernandez has got the limelight but Devine was one of my favourites from last season. Good in both defence and attack.
Fernandez switched to right and was as composed as he was at LB. Signs of really good player I guess that they are comfortable anywhere they play.
Puigmal needs to be convinced. With Mata leaving in near future, he definitely has a chance here. More so than Barcelona anyway.
Shoretire has really impressed me. He is just 16 so he still struggles to impose himself but he has the technique and there are moments in the game that he really shines through. Will get consistent, we just need to be patient. Quite exciting talent. Just curious where he will end up.
After poor start, U23 team has really improved. Great signs.

Recently he’s looked much more impressive than Mengi. I’d say Mengi has more potential, but application will decide how he develops.
Facundo Pellistri performance vs Southanmpton u23s. Pellistri scored his first goal for United u23s assisted by Shola Shoretire. Pellistri had an excellent game and his close ball control and first touch were standout qualities.
it seems this team is one of the best Under 23 teams of past years
