UEFA Youth League - United vs FC Basel

[RedMachine03]

At Leigh Sports Village
Kick off at 3pm BST
Live on MUTV

Three over-age players included in the squad are Ro-Shaun Williams, Tyrell Warren and Ethan Hamilton.

 

[FCBarca]

Will be interesting since Basel's youth academy has a strong reputation for always developing talent

 

[khoazany]

Looking forward to this since the U23s has been a bit meh so far and the U18s wasn't lived yet on MUTV.

Line-up probably would be something like Sebtaoui - Tanner, Warren, Williams, O'Connor - Hamilton, Barlow - Bohui, Gomes, Boonen - Burkart

Has Bohui not gone up to the U23s yet then? Will they keep the whole group together except maybe Buffonge?

Bohui is U23s starter. This is UEFA Youth League so we probably will play the strongest team eligible. Buffonge is too old for this and not part of the 3 overage players, same with Dearnley.

Which new lads you think will play ahead of the players in the line-up?

 

[the unknown one.]

Pugimal, Traore and that lad from Charlton perhaps?

Such a pain that the games are during work hours so not going to be able to watch.

This match is at 12am and the CL game at 5am for me

When i see the matches late night and we lose or don't do well. I just can't clear my head for 2-3 hours and end up with headache next day at work

Yea the times are horrible for Australia, its a reason I'm sceptical of moving there. I can't complain too much, since i've moved to England I'll at least get to watch the first team after work.

Yeah the midweek games are horrible, weekend games are alright most of the times.

Luckily I'm not working tomorrow, at least I can sleep after the game.

Why not record the games that aren't on at reasonable hours and watch them when you get home from work? That's what I do for some of the pre-season games. Just avoid forums and Twitter while at work.

Does MUTV show this game?

I watch it online plus recorded games doesn't have the effect at least for me.

 

[RedMachine03]

Does MUTV show this game?

Yes, the coverage starts 30mins before the game I think.

[Ali Dia]

I'm not working till after the CL match tonight, I think I'll watch both : )

 

[Android1974]

Ro-Shaun Williams and Chong still injured?

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Would prefer Kenyon over Sang and Burkart over Bohui.....such a shame Chong is injured any news about his injury? @jb8521 @khoazany

He's back running and doing some other training so hopefully shouldn't be much longer

Agree, not sure Sang has what it takes - in CM at least.

 

[AltiUn]

Moutha-Sebtaoui is an absolutely fantastic name. Anyone know of any Basel players to keep an eye on?

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Looking forward to seeing how Hamilton, O'Connor, Gomes and Boonen do at this level.

Is it just me, but does anyone see a replica of Matić in Ethan Hamilton?

Looks like Sang is a CB today. I think Kenyon just got back from injury so Laird started over him. I would have played Bohui and Burkart both and play Barlow at CM.

 

[Android1974]

Doesn't look like that, more a 4-2-3-1:

Moutha-Sebtaoui
Laird–Warren–O’Connor–Tanner
Sang–Hamilton
Boonen–A.Gomes–Barlow
Bohui​

 

[roonster09]

Barlow 1-0

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

1-0 Barlow

A goalkeeper error, but a decent finish nonetheless. Good work by Bohui initially.

 

[RedMachine03]

Barlow scores

 

[Classical Mechanic]

1-0. Barlow. Keeper should do better.

In the other group game, Benfica trashed CSKA 5-1.

They've produced a lot of Portugal internationals in recent years, so I'm not surprised.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Benfica were runners up last year.

 

[roonster09]

Basel equalize. CBs were all over the place.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Who's the co-commentator on with Dave Stowell?

1-1. Laird wasn't able to track the runner who scores with a dink finish.

No, and they have a very good formation. And most of their players are quickly playing their B team in the Portuguese second tier, contrary to U23's in England.

 

[RedMachine03]

1-1 Nice finish there
