UEFA U19s: Manchester United vs. Real Sociedad
- Thread starter LR7
- Start date
This will be a toughie. Sociedad seems to be the best team in the group.
I have it recording at home this afternoon. Be really good to see our team play a really tough game, and also for us to have our first choice X1 (minus Adnan) out on the pitch.
It'll be nice to get a look at Janko if he plays any part.
After paying £700,000 for him I would be both surprised and disappointed if he did not play.
I take it they are the teams. Can you post it in text if possible as I can't see the image. 
No Grimshaw is a huge blow. Not convinced by that CB pairing.
Top man LR7
At least this team has lads playing in their natural positions unlike the last 2 games
Interesting to see Wilson is captain even with Pearson, Rothwell and Rowley in the side
Does anyone do rivers for these matches?
Yeah, is a little, especially as Rothwell and Pearson have both captained England and United youth teams.
If anyone has a stream I'd appreciate a PM. The ones listed at the usual places don't seem to bother with the build-up.
Liking the look of Janko so far. Playing at RB.
Damn, 1-0 Sociedad.
Damn, 1-0 Sociedad.
Damn. Didn't take long
1-0 ioannou caught out for pace and strength
Pereira seems up for this one, tracking back and pressing high to help win the ball back.
He's not really developing how we'd hope at the moment from what I've seen of him. Seems to overplay too much and get caught out of position.
Janko is a tanko.
If someone has a stream, I would appreciate it if you could pm me it. Thanks.
Sociedad look a good side. United struggling to get forward after a promising opening.
often been his problem - he rushes forward, loses the ball and the opposition counter. Happened a few times when I have seen the last year or so
What's the deal with Pereira? He doesn't play for the u18s but he doesn't often get into the u21s matches. Wouldn't it just be beneficial for him to play with the u18s?
We're getting into the game a bit more now.
I just love Ben Pearson.
I just love Ben Pearson.
Sociedad have numerical advantage down the flanks. Another 2 v 3 advantage in their favour.
Yeah he hasn't really developed much since he first came into the under 18s although he hasn't been helped by injuries and hasn't developed much physically either which he needs. He has the David Luiz style tendency to charge up the field then try and do too much and leave himself exposed. He also seems to be lacking in confidence due to his recent mistakes because he keeps hoofing the ball aimlessly under little pressure.
They've hunted in packs very well which made things uncomfortable for our lads early on, we've grown into the game though.
It'll be interesting to see if Scholes and Butt change anything much for the second half.
Yeah that's been the most notable thing that they defend in numbers very effectively.
Any streams, please?
Assume it is 0-1 at HT?
yes
Come on lads. They're one of the best youth teams out there at the moment but we're capable of doing something here.
He's one player I feel confident can make it here, he's one player I would love to make It here as well because he's proper old school.
ARGH. Brilliant counter, Harrop misses against the odds.
Should have scored, lovely bit of play.
