Cooper is the new American kid.

Red Dreams · 11th October 2003, 02:36

Anyone heard about how Jami Pustinan is doing? I read somewhere that we signed this 16 year wonder kid from finland who is an incerdible goal scorer. Lots of other premiership clubs were after him too it seems but he and his family are United mad.

MPTutd · 13th October 2003, 09:30

Finally got to see the Academy on MUTV for the first time this season.

For the U-19's they lost 3-1 at home to Man City. Phil Bardsley got the goal. For United, Neumayr looked good on the ball and you can see why we signed him although he never players that well. Danny Bryne, who has never been one of my favourites, looked very good. However, we were quite poor really, although we were missing Johnson, Jones, Richardson, Eagles and Eckersley as they have been playing in the reserves.

For the U-17's, they won 2-1. Frazier Campbell got one of the goals and I think Phil Marsh got the other. Marsh looked the star in midfield. Aaron Burns and Frazier Campbell both looked very quick up front. Both yonug skinny black lads with lots of pace and very raw. I don't think we will see them playing any higher than the U-19's this season.

Younger versions of David Bellion then?

Another couple of seasons yet probably.

Thanks for the report, MPTutd. How about Timm? Is he still playing in U-19?

He has to get a chance in the first team, he has earnt it, got a worthless cup match coming up, how about that one.

Reserves lose to Man U

A youthful Liverpool Reserves side went down 1-0 to Manchester United who found the breakthrough 15 minutes from time, in front of a crowd of 4,830 at Chester's Deva Stadium.

Substitute Daniel Nardiello managed to find a way past the outstanding Chris Kirkland but the goal came two minutes after Liverpool almost scored, but Darren Potter was denied by Roy Carroll.

Chris Kirkland and John Welsh both featured for Liverpool as well as Darren Potter, who like the mentioned two were on the bench for the first team against Olimpija on Wednesday night. Potter did well for Liverpool in an unfamiliar role playing up front.

Potter was joined up front by under-19 left back Chris Butler, who switched back to a position he played in junior football. Butler batled hard but is not a natural striker. Reds reserve boss Hughie McAuley was desperately short of fire power and had no choice with his options really, with Steven Gillespie and Mark Smyth both injured and Florent Sinama-Pongolle was on first team duty last night.

Scottish winger Robbie Foy played on the left and had some good moments in the match but a lack of firepower and natural front players made things difficult for Liverpool.

Manchester United passed the ball well and could have won by more goals if it wasn't for the excellent Chris Kirkland. The Reds keeper made a great stop after nine minutes to deny Kieran Richardson from a quickly taken free-kick.

Captain John Welsh went close for the Reds second string a minute later but couldn't keep his shot down and the effort sailed over the bar after good set-up play by Potter.

Both defences were on top for Liverpool with Carl Medjani and Zak Whitbread excellent at centre half for the Reds. Liverpool had a great chance on the half hour mark. Brilliant work from Potter saw him intercept a pass and feed Robbie Foy, who then cut in from the left and fired in a fierce drive that was well struck but straight at Roy Carroll.

A minute before half time the Reds went close again. A superb incisive through ball from Chris Butler released Foy down the left who produced a low cross that was just about scrambled away by the United defence and cleared from the lurking Potter.

United were the stronger side in the second half and at times Liverpool struggled to make any real attacks and string passing moves together. Kirkland made a great save to keep out substitute Eddie Johnson's close range effort, then came two bad misses from the away side. David Bellion miscued a header from close range then Richardson sent a free header over the bar.

Kirkland held on well to a Bellion close range header before Liverpool went close after 59 minutes. Foy set off on a great run which took him past three defenders but was then caught in two minds whether to have an effort on goal or pass. In the end he passed to Potter who was quickly crowded out.

The turning point in the game came 17 minutes from time. First Liverpool's Butler did brilliantly down the left to burst his way into the penalty area. His lay-off found Michael Foley-Sheridan who missed his kick in front of goal and the rebound fell to Potter who saw his effort superbly kept out by Carroll.

Two minutes later United found the breakthrough after two substitutes combined. Phillip Pickens combined well with David Jones to give Daniel Nardiello a sight of goal and to be fair he finished superbly giving Kirkland no chances.

Jones almost added a second in stoppage time but Kirkland made another great save on the stretch.

All in all a disappointing night really for Liverpool but it was just that lack of a natural goal getter and someone to hold the ball up that just wasn't there tonight.

Liverpool Reserves: Kirkland, Otsemobor, Vaughan, Medjani, Whitbread, Foley-Sheridan, Wright (Massie 78), Welsh, Butler, Potter, Foy. Subs unused: Raven, Luzi, Flynn, James Smith.

Manchester United Reserves: Carroll, Lynch, Pugh, Tierney, Tate, Jones, Eagles, Wood, Cooper (Johnson45), Bellion (Nardiello 67), Richardson (Pickens 67).

Referee: W McIntosh.

I have never seen Nardiello play but with all the goals i rekon Fergie will have to start bleeding him into the first team.
Have him on the bench and give him a taste, another united made player

I also wish I can see him given a chance very soon. His scoring record in the reserve has been very outstanding for over 1 year now. With the current depth of the striker department in the 1st team, I think he should be given a chance to prove himself.

MPTutd · 17th October 2003, 12:32

LISTEN!!!!.

ONCE AND FOR ALL. NARDIELLO IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE FIRST TEAM AT UNITED.

He will end up going the same way as Nevland, Healy etc etc.

He would do well in the lower divisions.

Exactly how many first team games for manchester united do you judge that on? You are probably right, most players dont make it, but seeing his excellant form so far this season he has earned the right to atleast see if hes good enough.

Nardiello´s a goal poacher, he would never set OT alight, but i would like to see him get his chance.....probably many ahead of him in the q tho?

I've never seen Nardiello play. I've never had very high hopes for his United future, but his goals for the reserves this season, combined with Forlan's lack of ability as a striker, surely should force Sir Alex to give him a place on the bench. Why was Forlan given YET another chance today to prove that he simply isn't good enough?

VanNistelrater · 18th October 2003, 20:20

fuck Nardiello. Get johnson in the team pronto.

Nice to see the new finnish kid got a couple for the U17's.

Youth sides march on
19/10/03 3:36 PM

United's Youth sides both gained relatively positive results over the weekend.
United's Under-19's ended a two game losing sequence on Saturday as they managed a 2-2 draw at Everton. Two goals from Neumayr were enough to ensure a share of the spoils for Brian McClair's side.
The Under-17's continued their rich vein of form with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Sheffield United. Goals came from Rose and a Puustinen brace.

More importantly: Is he better in the first team? How can he possibly be? U never know, U know...

Van Nistlerater: Does Johnson score enough goals? Will he be better suited to RvN's style?

By the way: Happy 21st birthday yesterday, Nardiello!

David Jones has been brilliant in the reserves this season. I can't praise him highly enough.

I have got high hopes for Eagles,been very impressed with him,future first teamer?Don't bet against it!

Brief report from last nights game.

United Reserves 2 Wolves reserves 0

United started with a front pairing of Nardiello and Bellion.

Midfield of Eagles, Jones, Richardson and the bloke who was recently on lone with Barry Fry at Peterborough.

Tate Lynch Pugh and Tierney made up the defence with Carrol in goal.

First half was largely forgettable. One chance for Wolves with Silas shooting wide after getting clean through.

And on the stroke of half time, the ever impressive Jones should have put United ahead after a great cross from Eagles was cut back to him on the edge of the area by Richardson. As it was, the ball just rose over the bar with the 'keeper beaten.

Bellion showed signs of good hold up play, and it would seem UNited's coaches are trying to improve this side of his game. At times he glides past people with ease, but holding it up and laying it off are just as important for a stiker no matter how fast they are in my opinion.

The second half saw Bellion taken off and Eddie Johnson brought on. United passed the ball much better this half. Johnson worked really hard chasing up front, and gave the midfield someone to pass the ball into feet to.

The first goal when it came was excellent. Pugh sent a wicked left foot cross from midway inside the Wolves half for Nardiello to rise and head superbly past the wolves Keeper from about 8 yards.

1-0 United. About 70-75 mins played I think.

Nardiello was withdrawn for American Neil Cooper to join Johnson up front.

United's second was scored by the hugely talented Chris Eagles. A good move from United saw the ball reach cooper on the right of the area. He had the vision to lay it inside to Eagles, who finished low and controlled across the goal into the bottom left hand corner.

United 2-0 Wolves

Tate had a great game, looked strong and concentrated very hard. Also some of the long range ground passes from the lad in midfield we recently loaned to Peterborough (name?) were very impressive too.

Richardson was a little dissapointing, and lost the ball several times while trying to dribble.

Still, a second win in a row for United, with yet again many good young players showng what they can do.

MelvinYeo · 24th October 2003, 09:50

Could the lad be Neil Wood?

Should have known it seeing as I've watched him play several times.
Just couldn't remember his name for some reason.

rOnaldo[7] · 24th October 2003, 16:54

Nardiello signs for Swansea for a month's loan

Amir · 24th October 2003, 23:57

Apparently Tate also went on loan?

I would have thought they'd be playing at Leeds in the Carling Cup but alas... I was wrong.

Surely it we'll be returning to fringe and reserve players this season, though for the life of me I have no idea what defence we'll play if we choose not to risk any first teamers.
