Fish to Mejbri, and Mejbri back to Fish almost created a big chance

Welp, 2-0 now. Immediately after being fortunate to not concede, they concede.

Another chance for Newcastle at the edge of the box, but wasn't hit hard

Good feet from Elanga to beat 1-2 players eventually getting into the box where McCann shoots hard, but right at the keeper

Good touch and acceleration from Hogwarts to get away from his defender, and force the keeper into a save. Nearly a goal.

Great little ball from Mejbri which almost created a free shot on goal

By far the best I have seen from Hoogewerf in a United-jersey

Devine is very similar to Williams...a bit less physically robust, but he looks a lot like Williams in his style of play

He's had a good couple of weeks, a lot of game time in both U23s and U18s. He's good going forward, but both are defensively inexperienced.

But Hockenhull is the main problem with the U18 defense I think.

Hardley has looked really good when I've seen him. Looks a far better player than Hockenhull.

The main problem imo is our central midfield - most teams can walk straight through it. They are all good on the ball and can create things going forward, but few of them are good defensively.

4-2 Elanga. Nice assist from Sotona - and Elanga hammers it home from 18 yards
