No, Thorpe's playing on but he looks really uncomfortable.
Pogba's just made me lol.

Youth Cup
- Thread starter datura
- Start date
Scrappy game so far, a lot of misplaced passes and good closing down. Birmingham look dangerous wide.
Haha, pretty sparse crowd unfortunately.
Thorpe off Masacci on.
Thorpe coming off, Massacci on.
Massacci on for Thorpe, Fornasier to move inside I assume.
Birmingham have come back well after conceding early and have probably been the better side. We are struggling for fluency so far.
We've really petered out considering how we started.
2-0 Ajose
Great goal by Ajose! 2-0
Wow quality finish from Ajose very acute angle aswell
2-0 Ajose against the run of play but at least we've been stringing a few passes together. It was a lovely flick by Petrucci that caused the initial danger and very composed finish from Ajose. Harsh scoreline for Birmingham.
McGinty's been really impressive thus far.
Great shot and save from Morrison and their keeper.
Great save from a decent morrison effort
Should have cut it across a bit more, but well made for himself
He did well, especially considering he hit it left footed. Keane did well in the build up, surrounded by players but got a yard and picked the pass out.
Lovely bit of skill from Pogba.
Anyone got a stream?
Welbeck's there as are a few other reserve players.
Tunnicliffe, Pogba, Petrucci and McGinty all impressing.
Pogba has that natural ability to find time on the ball
In all honesty I think Ajose's looked better than Petrucci this half.
2-0 ht. The difference has been in the final 3rd where we have looked incisive an inventive, whereas everything has petered out rather tamely for Birmingham and they are struggling to support the lone striker Jervis.
Think Nicky tends to get overlooked in favour of his more well known foreign counterparts but i think he looks a very good player
I agree. Sometimes we're all guilty of getting overexcited by the foreign prospects. Even now that I think about it I haven't even given Tunnicliffe a mention but he had an excellent first half.
MUTV commentator mentioned that Kiko is only 10 days too old for the Youth Cup. Imagine him at this level now!
Penalty conceded by Pogba, Cmon Devlin.........
Devlin saves a penalty.
Great save
If their striker wasn't 6'4" he'd have no chance in football. He looks useless.
Reminds me of one of the favourite quotes.
From Peter Crouch:
Q: What would you be if you were not a footballer
A: A Virgin.
Legendary.

Fog's coming onto the field.
fecking quality
What first attracted Abby Clancy to the millionaire footballer Peter Crouch
Pogba>Drogba?
Never heard of him. Any good? What position does he play?
From what I can see he's all over the pitch so early signs are promising. Needs to bulk up a bit to be any real threat though.
So I take it that its still 2-0
