That rabona for no reason in midfield was fun

At least the subs have brought some energy onto the pitch.
Williams has been disappointing today.
65’
Close to an equaliser from Amass’ corner.

I've said that and he's suddenly popping up everywhereAnd still probably our best player
Williams comes in from the right side, Musa’s effort deflected over the bar.
I like Fitz and Williams, they both want the ball. Always a good sign,
Both are correct. Just like Rashford at the weekend. They are mirroring the senior team down to a tee.And still probably our best player
Agreed. Especially when you’re struggling it’s a very encouraging sign. Easy to hide when it’s not going your way.
Oyedele has been miles better last 15 minutes.
We've put some really good balls in the area, just had no one on the end of them.
70’
We go close again. Strong play on the right side from Fitzgerald and Williams, Oyedele finds Musa on the far post but no goal just yet.
Much better in the second half. Although that’s not saying much.

Strong challenge from Willy K.
Amass looks a class act.

To be fair Harrison has made a few good saves. Could be 4-0. But his distribution has been off today.
The team has competed much better in the 2nd half.
Referee's not given us much
Dammit 2-0
80’

Suckerpunch
Defending is not a strong suit. 6 players we had in the box + Gk and not one wanted to get a foot in.
With all the good things Kambwala does defensively, his passes are often quite shocking. Easy five yard passes at full speed to the recipient’s shin pads consistently.
84’ Curley on for Scanlon
Bayern are so drilled, we had a chance for a counter and next second they've got soo many bodies back.
I like how Williams relentlessly tries to take his man on and make something happen when nothing seems to be going his way. Another good sign.
That was soo unlucky, we should've pulled one back there. Good save tbh and then off the post.
Almost 2-1
Brilliant from Wheatley.
We've been unlucky in this half, much improved.
Good work from Wheatley there. Should have scored.
Well played free kick.
While I agree, we kind of deserved that luck with how we played in the first half.
FT 2-0
Oh well, back to playing FM.
Better in the second half but not enough in the end. Fitzgerald, Harrison, Williams and Wheatley with some positives but overall not good enough. Too many passengers in terms of today’s performance.

Better that half at least, still a deserved loss. Hopefully learned a lot.
100%, Bayern could have scored a couple more in the second. It's just nice to see an improvement.
Absolutely. At least we didn’t fold.
Big difference between quality in sides. We look good against likes of Middlesbrough and Stoke but some way off top end of Europe these days both technically and tactically.
No Hansen? Weird, he is not with the first team either. Hopefully not injured.
that is true, out coaches in academy are very bad. Binnion is even better than the rest, but complete setup of coaches are on terrible level.

I strongly suspect Uniteds side will be considerably younger and they play against weaker opposition in a less competitive enviroment each week. I could be proved wrong but PL North outside of 4 or 5 teams looks like it could be a stroll most weeks. 2-0 Bayern U19 away not bad, I expected worse tbh and bodes well going forward
