Another ground zero camera angle. WTF!
Was just about to comment this, I'm getting motion sickness already.
You know it's a game against Everton when Emeran's been taken out twice in two minutes.
Everton hit the inside of the post.
Is it really that difficult just to set up a simple platform.
We're not asking for some high level gantry construction.

Seriously, these clubs can't afford to rent some scaffolding? Maybe MUTV needs to invest in some mobile platform. At best its motion sickness, at worse, whiplash.
There is even a stand right there perfect for putting a cameraman up on. Hard to tell but I think one of the two people up there may even be holding a camera actually. How can’t we just get the feed from that? Instead we get this crap.
Finch Farm is such a miserable looking place, looks like an early 2010 technical college.
The ONLY good thing about these ground zero angles, you can tell whether the United kids have grown. Forson looks to have had a growth spurt.
Probably was -- an agricultural variety. Its called a farm after all.Some have boot rooms, here they have milking rooms.
That's a superb goal, McNeill feeds a fantastic ball through to Forson who scores on his return from injury. 1-0 United.
You would think the Everton youth coaches would insist on better footage than this to enable them to better review the games among themselves and with the players.
...nice goal. McNeill provider this time with some great awareness.

As @limerickcitykid mentioned there's a bloke on a platform with a camera, so that might actually be what he's doing. Why they can't share that footage with us is beyond me.
Not really match-related but I'm watching the game with my dad and he bizzarely thought the commentators were calling Hansen-Aaroen "handsome" because of his hair, had to explain they're calling him "Hansen" as it's his name.
All the boys are 'handsome'

Oh my word, Guadagno spills the ball outside the box, gets tackled and the Everton striker somehow blazes the ball over the open net
Worth mentioning we look miles ahead of them on a technical level.

I hope Manni Norkett comes on at some point.
I read about him signing as a sought after 13 year old, and have seen his name listed in the younger age groups, but this would be my first time seeing him play live.
Has anyone seen much of him and, if so, has he shown anything to suggest he's got much potential?

Will Fish makes it 2-0 after what looked lke some miscommunication between the defender and the keeper.
Fish jumps high and it's in the net 
0-2
0-2

Good first half really. Forson and Hansen-Aaroen are impossible to get the ball off. Anyone else think Savage is quietly having a really solid season?
I haven't seen him at all. Apparently he had the choice of 15 clubs to sign up with incl. Everton.
Gore's committed four fouls this game and the referee's still not booked him, not that I'm complaining.
Guadagno with a great save to deny Everton a goal.

What kind of midfielder is Gore?
He wears the number 10 but seems to run around and foul more than offering ball playing ability or attacking threat?
He's new to the U18's and is playing an age group above, so was he the playmaker for the U16's?
Was Savage subbed at half time? I missed the first few minutes of the second half.
Never mind, just seen him with an ice pack. I remember that cruncher of a challenge now. Ouch.
Honestly not seen enough of him to make a judgement.
Yeah, got taken off for Mainoo, looks like he couldn't continue after that injury.
It's been very noticeable to me that our game management has improved significantly this season at all levels. Especially underage.
Svidersky's been a brick wall today.
Oh feck off that's a red card every day of the week, he could've broken Wellens's leg. Cowardly, cowardly refereeing.

Forson inches wide of a fantastic solo goal.
How Garcia didn’t get a red I will never know, disguising lunging scissor hack
Seems like every underage team we play now are coached to fly off their feet into tackles. What do they think they're doing?? Why are they allowing that? Have they not seen top level professional football now where tackles are basically outlawed?
Same story every time with the Scouse teams, they're absolutely disgusting.

The absolute state of this challenge, and the prick was crying about getting booked for it.
That is bloody atrocious.
I was thinking exactly that! By all accounts the Spurs game yesterday had poor refereeing.
He should have been arrested, never mind being sent off.
Yeah it was stupid. Making up for a lack of ability with too much aggression it seems and the refs allowing it. I just don't see what the coaches are preparing their players for? Lower leagues maybe?
Exactly that. That will be where most will end up. Nowhere near the the talent for the top, so they just kick out at anybody with the slightest bit of skill.
Imagine being a coach and sending your players out hoping to break the legs of children.
