UEFA Youth League - United vs FC Basel

3-2. Free header at back post area. Similar to what happened at Stoke.
 
Now we're defending deep and taking a chance on counterattack… penalty.
 
Another penalty. :lol: Identical to the Boonen one. Great play from Gomes.

Good strike. 4-2. Bohui.
 
That was an excellent penalty.
 
Popped outside for a second and I've missed 2 goals :lol:
 
Really liking the look of Bouhi from this game, seems to have all the tools you want in a forward.
 
FFS. Another penalty. This time to Basel.

4-3. Should have been saved. Guessed the right way.
 
The defensive football in this game has been absolutely horrible. :) Fun to watch - but as a coach .....
 
This game is great entertainment :lol: The referee looks like a startled owl.
 
Their whole team has been quite dirty.

They're not a bad side. All the ingredients you'd want. Feisty but technical, and not afraid to utilise set-pieces & long diagonals.

Our keeper has had a tough day dealing with some of the high balls into the box.
 
That should have been a 2nd red card for lashing out again. More subtle than the captain.
 
How is that not a yellow? I'm not one to just give out cards because you want young players to get as much playing time, but he clearly was being dirty.
 
The away game vs these will be very tough. Have to win all of our home games.
 
Basel have been a bit dirty.

Also, haven't liked how whistle happy the referee has been today, despite the goals the flow of the game has been killed fairly often.
 
Important win.

Hamilton, Gomes and Laird did very well in the 2nd half.
 
Much better second half. Suppose when Basel didn't press as hard our talented attacking players got more space.
