Academy/U18s Milk Cup Schedule Announced

United very patient in possession so far. I like how comfortable our defenders are on the ball.

We definitely need more of a goal threat though. Finding it difficult to break them down at the moment.

 

[SkeppyRed]

To be fair Yaya Toure - the other commentator's suggestion - sounds similar but doesn't look like a bad shout to me.

Agree, its the long gangly legs that draws a comparison imo.

I'm sure it will come with time. You can already see how hard the Tyrone lads are having to work to keep us off. We could do with cutting out the odd sloppy pass in the middle, it keeps giving them that little bit of breathing time that they need.

 

[Brightonian]

I really haven't watched him enough to judge whether it's a fair comparison or not, but it just seems like the go-to comparison for commentators

It's a weird one, because you're right it is bizarrely common, but I also usually find it a pretty decent comparison. Maybe there are just a lot of Viera-like youngsters out there!

I did hear that one for Pogba a lot, and it wasn't really accurate, either in his box-to-box role with our reserves, or his deep role at Juve. For me he's more of a Seedorf (but once again... black midfielder=black midfielder )

 

[KM]

Pogba's style is similar to Gerrard I think.

Think thats partly to do with the pitch the ball looks to be dying a bit at times. Liking the look of Tuanzebe so far

 

[KM]

Link for Stream?

 

[PS18]

There's definitely something reminiscent of Vieira in Willock's posture and running style. Style of play's a different matter obviously. Impressed by him today though.

 

[Brightonian]

Link for Stream?

It's on the BBC website.

 

[KM]

Yeah just saw it.

 

[KM]

Rashford coming on. He is highly rated by all accounts.

 

[Brightonian]

Massive cheer for Tyrone's first corner. It would be a kick in the fork to concede now.

 

[Brightonian]

Pereira drops the shoulder and shoots beautifully, hits the post. United lads starting to get a bit frustrated now.

 

[KM]

Periera hits the post!

 

[Antisocial]

Liking the look of Rashford already.

 

[Wowi]

United upping it now and/or they're getting tired. Pereira with a shot on the post.

 

[tyrone red]

Tyrone have been excellent at the back.

 

[Antisocial]

Too many white shirts every-fecking-where

 

[Brightonian]

Pereira

Tyrone's defenders are genuinely excellent.

 

[Brightonian]

Great volleyed effort from McBurnie, superb snap save from Molloy in Tyrone's goal.

 

[Ramshock]

Tyrone = Stoke

 

[tyrone red]

How did they keep it out. 2 mins added time

 

[Wowi]

GOAL! McBurney scores from a corner. Good header.

 

[Brightonian]

GOAL AT THE DEATH! Pereira corner, McBurnie's towering header.

Learn it young, boys!

 

[Joemo]

So is this McBurnie lad on trial or a stop gap replacement due to injury?

 

[dr.twinny]

Moysey sign him up!

 

[tyrone red]

That's a penalty lads

 

[Joemo]

Peno all day.

 

[Wowi]

Trial

 

[holdsteady]

Gilluminati

 

[Brightonian]

Ooh, bit of controversy to sweeten the deal. Looked a pen to me.

 

[Ramshock]

HAHAHAHA

 

[Ramshock]

sign that big kid ffs

 

[Brightonian]

Of course under the actual rules he has to be in control of the ball, which he wasn't. But at the top level that gets given every time.

Are you sure about that? That seems a stupid rule. What about Patrick Battiston vs Schumacher?

 

[Drainy]

Can't wait to see more of Rashford. He seems very technically gifted and incredibly switched on.

 

[Brightonian]

What about it? I already said that it's a pen and gets given at the top level every time.

 

[backofthenet]

Really tough final. Got to give credit to the opponents. They defended superbly and gave our lads nothing easy. Great to see us keeping going until the final whistle though..,

 

[Brightonian]

Impressed by Pereira (obviously), Mitchell, Rashford (in his brief appearance), Tuanzebe (minus one or two slips of concentration), Borthwick-Jackson and Willock. McBurnie was obviously very effective too.

EDIT: Always the dropped lid. You're not a proper footballer until you've dropped a trophy lid.

 

[Joemo]

This is great!
