All City in the first 10 minutes. As I write this, long ball to Norkett who pulls back to Nolan who forces a save.

Gore, Jackson, Fredericson for me. This is a team with a lot of players missing.Who’s the big talent of this group?
There isn't one in my opinion. It's not the greatest batch in the world. There are a few decent/good talents, but nobody anywhere near a dead cert.Who’s the big talent of this group?
I've no particular insight but I doubt it's a choice by us? Just resources probably? I assume it's a fair amount to do with City pouring a shed load of money into their recruitment and securing the best players and coaches. Just like the first team. Relatively easier to coach excellence and cultivate a definite style of play when you've all the best tools.A question for those with an insight on the academy. Whenever I watch City's U18, they seem to have the same clear identity as their PL team. Why don't we have that? Is it a deliberate choice not to lock players in on one particular rigid style of play or de we just lack the coaches and infrastructure to do it?
Much improved 2nd half here.Impressed with the lads today
Those players all get moved up fairly quickly as they’re not going to learn much at this level no? Whereas because City etc… stockpile a lot more it means they won’t get a game with the 21’s as they’re playing alongside, well, 21 year olds.One thing that annoys me with our younger teams - is the lack of physical players. I get that we want players who are good with the ball at their feet - but it seems impossible for United to find players who are above 6' and good with the ball at their feet - while teams like Chelsea and City have 3-4 giants
We also have been changing manager fairly regularly, with no identifiable style in our first team it’s hard to have one with the youth team. It’ll come with Erik you’d think.A question for those with an insight on the academy. Whenever I watch City's U18, they seem to have the same clear identity as their PL team. Why don't we have that?

How is that possible when they have much better players, coach's, facilities and everything else football related??FInished. 3-2 United

I know Ethan Williams is very highly rated at United and considering he’s not yet turned 17 is definitely one to watch! I believe he has trained with the first team this week too!Who’s the big talent of this group?
I look forward to all the excuses. Must be even more hurt now that Brentford have just beaten his boys too!incoming post of how United were much an older team or how it was a case of United taking all there chances and City missing all of them.
Perhaps a bit of City not having there best players available.
