Great pic, be interesting to revisit this in 5 years
Generally very good. Harrop stood out for the right reasons, TFM for the wrong reasons.
Very well. They were composed. Mitchell and Harrop in particular look promising. Tuanzebe did well. J Perreira looked confident in goal. Hell, they all did well.
Thanks a lot, so Harrop and Mitchell were the most ones who caught the eyes ? I'll try to look for extending highlights for the game then as it looks promising.Harrop and Mitchell were my stand out performers. None of the youth really panicked with the ball, they were cool and composed and eased to victory. The first team could learn a few lessons from them!
Gomes hasn't grown an inch since that picture with Nani and Ronaldo.

Judging him on how he normally plays, headless chicken, and he wasnt pogba ran the show
There really wasn't much between the two, it's inconsequential to the point anyway. Using a performance of a player as an example of why they should replace someone who performed better in the same game doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it?Err, Pogba?
The kids showed they had a better footballing brain than the players mentioned, regardless of how well you think lingard played, so yes my post made sense.There really wasn't much between the two, it's inconsequential to the point anyway.

TFM's positioning was all over the place, as it often (normally?) is when he's played at rightback. The guy has all the physical gifts for that position, but he just doesn't seem able to wrap his head around it other than one or two games.@11101 what do you mean by wrong reasons ?
I didn't like as a RB since day one tbf. I just don't think it's his normal position.TFM's positioning was all over the place, as it often (normally?) is when he's played at rightback.

Better footballing brain than Lingard. How exactly? Try not to be completely vague.The kids showed they had a better footballing brain than the players mentioned, regardless of how well you think lingard played, so yes my post made sense.
better decision making with regards to pass selection, movement, touch on the ball.Better footballing brain than Lingard. How exactly? Try not to be completely vague.
Think Smalling has a toe injury so maybe this was a run out for Jones.btw, Jones starting this means it's probably Smalling and Blind in the final then ?
He's only started playing a few games now because we were furiously resting players.Easy win.
Great to see the youngsters shine.
Especially impressed by harrop and Mitchell.
Is this really Rooneys last game?
Have a feeling he might be back next year. Especially now we don't have ibra.
José didn't answer questions in the press conference.No post match interviews?
Thanks.José didn't answer questions in the press conference.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Smalling and Jones.Think Smalling has a toe injury so maybe this was a run out for Jones.
Who knows what the truth is, think there is a few mind games going on and misinformation being put out at the minute.
Except Lingards pass selection, movement, decision making and touch was spot on today and as a result he played better than those you want to displace him.better decision making with regards to pass selection, movement, touch on the ball.
Lingards decision making is absolutely woeful and one of the reasons we have struggled to break teams down, he just doesn't make the right movements or passes often enough, that bit is key to whether you are good enough for United, he gets it right from time to time but one swallow does not make a summer
No cos the season's not ended yetNo end of season speeches?
Whys that?José didn't answer questions in the press conference.
He's in 'final mode.' Apparently.Whys that?
Listen JesseExcept Lingards pass selection, movement, decision making and touch was spot on today and as a result he played better than those you want to displace him.
One Swallow doesn't make a summer, yet it does when you're talking about youth players?
It's no surprise that Lingard thrived today, we were set up right. Lingard plays well in a team that functions correctly, he isn't someone who is going to win you a game on his own but his movement and use of the ball is much improved when the system is right.

Don't know, I actually hoped for Jones and Blind together but they never played together so it'll be dangerous to use this pairing for the first time in a final. Jones and Smalling together, don't like this pairing much and not linking together.I wouldn't be surprised if it was Smalling and Jones.
They were above Blind in the pecking order till injury struck.
Except in that one off game he performed better than they. If you're going to pick a one off example to hail them as better options, it's probably not best to select a game when they were outperformed by him in the half he played!Listen Jesse
All I'm saying is today those young players showed better intelligence than the players I mentioned have in this one off game, I'm not saying they are better although there is a very high chance they could be soon, they simply showed a better understanding and reading of the game, they all did.
lingard played alright, I think he has a 6.5 on the caf rating, I was praising the kids, I'm bored of discussing lingard and his lack of cutting edge
like I say I disagree, Id like to see them more often, they might not continue to develop as well, lots can happen, they need to continue to work hard and improve, but its encouraging to see them already confident footballers.Except in that one off game he performed better than they.

Lingard is a decent squad player, but how some of you lot like to try and make out you'd think he was missing a leg.
You're expecting a team player to demonstrate individual brilliance in a broken team. These youngsters have had plenty of games for the u23s where they've struggled because the u23s are a mess. It shouldn't come as a suprise that in a working set up he and they perform better.like I say I disagree, Id like to see them more often, they might not continue to develop as well, lots can happen, they need to continue to work hard and improve, but its encouraging to see them already confident footballers.
Lingard, meh he'll be here next season, I expect the same poor return and will hope to be proved wrong
Or it could be it was the last game of the season at home against palace?You're expecting a team player to demonstrate individual brilliance in a broken team.

He wasn't better than Mitchell today, that's for sure.Except in that one off game he performed better than they. If you're going to pick a one off example to hail them as better options, it's probably not best to select a game when they were outperformed by him in the half he played!
