Their keeper's mustache is infuriating.
FA-Youth Cup: Our boys vs Chelsea
- Thread starter Sean_RedDevil
- Start date
Shame Rothwell and Januzaj aren't involved.
Celtic must be fuming the way things worked out with Feruz. He looks a serious prospect
Pearson off
Yeah Pearson, he was hobbling about for a little while.
Ohhh Van Velzen
What a miss.Great football though
Van Velzen could've had a touch and missed a sitter.
Saf watching on.
what a run from Wilson
Once he learns some composure, that Van Velzen is going to be well handy.
Naughty Naughty comes on 
Naughty Naughty comes on!
Nawty Nawtyyyyy coming on
Yes! It's Naughty Naughty!
Things are about to get naughty.
nortei nortey on
YES!!! Naughty Naughty's on!!
Joyous scenes.
Joyous scenes.
God I hope Nortei makes it at Chelsea.
What are the prospects of our injured players being available for the 2nd leg?
Chelsea players on growth hormones.
If it's good enough for Messi!
Not sure why, but we're taking off Barmby with 1.5 mins left. Odd.
Hrm, very odd play from United there. 1 minute left, and the fuss about with the ball on the halfway line, refused to get it forward.
1-2 to that Chelsea team isn't a bad result at all, given the relative experience and age of the teams.

apart from the first 20 min, a good performance from the team. Unlucky to give away the second goal, but it was a really good strike from Feruz
Pearson and dehli looked good
Pearson, Deahli and Van Velzen(Despite the miss) had good games. Barmby and Blackett have usually set high standards for themselves in this season, not so great today. Rudge was our weak link.
Decent performance - but it's pretty much like it's been all season. Mistakes in defense and we don't score enough goals from good chances.
We generally have a lot to work on in defense but the overall play from the side wasn't bad at all.
But Dæhli and Barmby both were fairly poor by their standards - and then we will struggle because they are by far our most creative players

I know I'm saying it again and again. But we were missing three first team regulars in Love, Rothwell and Januzaj and 8 of our players were first year scholars. Not much was expected of them(even Fergie said so) and yet they've played very well.
I would call it inexperience. McCullough should have pulled him down as he wasn't the last man and taken the yellow card. If that had been Vidic - he would torn his shirt off
Impressed with Barmby , Pearson ,Daehli ,Blackett , Wilson , Van Velzen and for renties Feruz.
Actually 4 - Lawrence is the player I miss most of all.
I forgot about him.
Good thing is that there's no away goal rule.
Unlucky to lose that I thought
Do you think so? Been thoroughly underwhelmed pretty much since day one. Wonder if playing wide is not his best position?
He's played as much up front for us as he has on the wings.
I missed this. A few words on individual performances, people?

Was wondering whether we'd accepted the defeat, whilst not wanting Barmby to be injured for the second leg.
Thought they did very well in fairness, for a Year 1 team they have a hell of a run this season and after the way they played for an hour or so tonight they clearly are still in the tie.
Think they can be very proud of themselves for their FAYC run thus far.

Defence - occasional errors and some sloppy distribution from the back.
Midfield - Daehli: class first half , less influential in the second; caught on the ball in the dying minutes which could have cost us. Rudge: quiet. Pearson: tigerish, spent most of the game sliding along the turf winning the ball.
Elsewhere - Van Veltzen: some good runs. Barmby: played it simple and direct, effective. Wilson: did nothing; except score our goal; great run down the wing late in the game.
