City Reserves Game Tonight

park fiction · 20th March 2008, 15:06

Any news?

I can't find anything anywhere on it, usually they announce the team before hand and stuff?

At first I thought I got it wrong but it's on MUTV tonight so does anyone have news on it? ie Gazza/Silveste?

prateik · 20th March 2008, 15:20

fergie said both will play today ..
so expect them to ..
still bout 5 hrs to go isnt it

will there be any way to watch it , or listen to the commentary ?

park fiction · 20th March 2008, 15:26

its on mutv, but i dunno about any alternatives to be honest.

Elliott · 20th March 2008, 16:53

It really sucks that there are no streams for reserve/academy matches. When we played the dippers some weirdo had a camera on his tv. I'd settle for that.

Diabo_Sam · 20th March 2008, 18:50

Hayley McQueen interviewing Rodrigo Possebon now, and his english is very very good.

Scholesy · 20th March 2008, 19:05

not a great way to start your come-back.

Elliott · 20th March 2008, 20:01

How's Rooodriiigo and Welbeck doing?

PS18 · 20th March 2008, 20:14

2-1 up now, Welbeck and Simpson with our goals.

PS18 · 20th March 2008, 20:24

Welbeck with another, 3-1

Elliott · 20th March 2008, 20:25

How's Possebon doing?

Coca Cola · 20th March 2008, 21:28

finished 4 - 1, Welbeck with a hat trick. Neville played 90 minutes, Silvestre 75.

Elliott · 20th March 2008, 21:55

Gazza has done 90!

Just in time for the liverpool game?

KingEric7 · 20th March 2008, 22:27

Fantastic news.
Who were the most impressive lads out there tonight?

horselesspaul · 20th March 2008, 22:30

For me,
Rodrigo
Welbeck
and a young lad called Gary Neville.

Lizard King · 20th March 2008, 22:31

This Possebon, does he look like he may have a future in our first team?

Ace · 21st March 2008, 00:57

I've noticed more and more Chris Eagles being used as a Striker...

Virtuoso · 21st March 2008, 01:09

Great game, performance and result for United. We were the better side from start to finish.

Especially pleasing to see Welbeck score a hattrick. The first was a composed finish into the far bottom corner after a quality through ball by Eagles. Second goal came thanks to a huge deflection off McDonald...not sure if it was going in but MUTV awarded him the goal. Third was a penalty which was a bit soft but well taken, he showed great skill to take the ball past two players in such a tight area in the box in the first place. Showing his talent and looking more confident, everyone's on about Campbell at 20 but Welbeck for me has even more potential as well as only being 17. His highlight probably wasn't even any of his goals, it was a 35 yard strike which he smashed against the post...completely caught everyone by surprise and it was an amazing effort.

Rodrigo was superb; passing was practically flawless once again (only one that I can recall which went astray). He's got so much composure it's incredible, shocking conditions today because of the strong wind and rain but he looked completely in his element. Reminds me a bit of how Scholes plays now, deeper in the midfield just picking passes short and long. Yet to see him as a goal threat but he may not be that type of player. I'd say he has a good chance in the first team; though there quite a few similar players to him in the side (e.g Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher to an extent). His interview was impressive, speaks English more or less perfectly and Anderson was also speaking of their frienship as they were born in the same city but he can barely speak a word of English. Rodrigo seems like a well focussed, down to earth guy too.

Gary Neville looked solid and also bossed the defence more than he has done since returning from injury, Silvestre did well even if the first goal was his fault. Simpson also did better than he has done so far this season despite playing as CB. Still what holds us back but wasn't such a detriment today are the wingers, Gray and Barnes (to a lesser extent) severely lack pace and the ability to take on their man. If we are going to invest in youth this summer then definitely some talented young wingers are in order for the academy and reserves (though Robert Brady playing for the U16s is one to look out for).

Very good night overall

Scholesy · 21st March 2008, 01:24

Virtuso, top class, your reports are amazing.

Elliott · 21st March 2008, 01:35

Nice one, Virtuoso.

Sadly, Anderson's English will NEVER improve, as the ability to speak another language is something people are born with, and you can't teach them that, especially when they don't have a brain, as some have claimed

- Campbell and Brandy loaned out
- Dong is injured
- He has a decent cross and shot, but can't beat a defender if his life depended on it

Might be useful in a withdrawn role behind the striker.

Cornell · 21st March 2008, 08:26

Just found highlights with Rodrigo interview at the end.

Chris H · 21st March 2008, 08:40

Great match report Virtuoso, thanks.

Cornell, thanks for the highlights. I was just about to ask if anyone ever posted those here. Great stuff.

December_16 · 21st March 2008, 08:52

Thanks Cornell for the highlights. Rodrigo looks a very likeable guy

Cornell · 21st March 2008, 09:14

Thanks, i'm just the messenger though.

Charleysurf deserves the credit.

Good report , I thought we passed the ball exceptionally well in crap conditions ------ a bit harsh on silvestre being blamed for first goal that city cb is a fecking monster ....... as tall as crouch but with a body size to match

park fiction · 21st March 2008, 11:04

Cannot believe Danny Welbeck is 17!
Rodrigo looks like an exciting talent too, its been a while since our reserves team were good to watch.
