Januzaj really impresses me.

Good half, pretty sure we're in the next round, Torquay's strikers don't have too much to do.
Januzaj and Lawrence (he was very unlucky with the ref, wasn't he?) our best players tonight. |

The kids play some nice football but really lack cutting edge IMO. Having said that, some very exciting players in there. Especially like Blackett, Januzaj and Daehli.

I thought that was as good a display as you're going to get in the youth cup. Controlled possession, bossed the midfield, solid at the back and scored some lovely goals. Players who were particularly impressive tonight: Januzaj, Barmby, Love(when he came on). |

I admire McCullough as well, but he didn't really have to much to do tonight.
Van Velzen looks quite average up front, hope he's back on the wing now. I don't think we should expect anything from the lads in this year's FA Youth Cup, but it's good to see them playing some nice football at times, I think we will be much better in this competition next season, our team is very young. |

If you have missed the game, it's on MUTV again at 8.30am on Sunday, 30-minutes highlights are at 4.30pm.
MUTV stream is still on my homepage, I think it should be ok on Sunday as well. |

People always seem to mention Januzaj, Dæhli and god knows who - but Lawrence and Barmby are in a league of their own at this level! All the others are highly talented footballers - but those 2 are involved in practically everything we create - and unlike the other players in the team, they can finish!

 It was freezing tonight at Moss Lane! It'll be even worse when we play Liverpool reserves there in two weeks. I'm still bloody cold now and its 1:30 in the sodding morning. |

But Januzaj, you can just tell he's a very, very accomplished footballer. Yesterday he strolled around, beating people at ease. Great stuff. |

Januzaj just makes it look so easy the way he beats players, and he's a magnificent passer too. I know the opposition were nothing to write home about, but then they're a lower league club and have a minute fraction of our budget to spend on players and academy facilities etc.

True, but I think the reason Lawrence and Barmby look good is precisely because they're willing ti have a go. A lot of the other lads are better footballers IMO, but they have that Arsenal thing of 'you have a go fella', 'no, you try it mate' going on. Having said that, the actual football they play is even better than the last crop IMO.

First goal by Lawrence is very nicely taken. Third goal a true United goal that. I don't watch any of the youth games, any names we should be looking out for in the future?
