We're at home or he means Chelsea is at home?
Miscellaneous Reserve/Youth News
- Thread starter Cevno
- Start date
Need to have Laird, Garner and Bernand back by then.
Couldn't have been a tougher draw, even if was @ Chelsea, as the club who want to stop them winning it for the 6th consecutive time more than any other hoped we'd meet them somewhere down the line, but deeper into the competition when the pressure on them would have been greater. Ah well....
I'm not afraid of any side when we have Gomes, Greenwood, Chong, Garner, Laird, etc... I still would have preferred to face another side because Chelsea are one of the sides more likely to knock us out. I just want as many matches as possible for the kids because they need every single minute on the pitch for development.
If they are fit then yes.
Chong and Gomes(by one day) are too old for the youth cup now.
Thought you had to be under 18 at the start of the season to be eligible ?
On the official website his d.o.b is 31/08/00
Can't have turned 18 before 01/09/00:
Only those players are eligible to take part who have reached the age of 15 years by
midnight on 31 August of the current season and not reached the age of 18 years as at
midnight on 31 August of the current season. (For season 2018-2019, a player must have
been born on or after 1 September 2000 and before 1 September 2003).
So Brandon Williams only makes it by two days then.
Eligibility for Youth Cup is mostly the same as U18s league, the only difference is you aren't allowed to play any U15s/younger or any overage GK.
For all City’s hype seems the younger sides are similar given the results from the weekend. Our under 11s apparently beat them 3-0. 12s didnt play. 13s was 2-2. 14s we lost 2-0. I make that a win on aggregate. Will it make the MEN?

Definitely though 13s was 2-2 not 3-2.

As far as I know they played 2 games with 1 finishing 3-2 & the other 2-2
Unfortunately only one game in 13s. 11 a side. We went one down. Then went 2-1 up before they equalised.
Fair enough. Was told by 1 of the City players parents that we won 3-2 but seems he was wrong
Friendly up in Scotland tomorrow for the 18/19s against Greenock Morton.

Greenock Morton reserves 0-1 Man United U23s
Zak Dearnley scored.
The Academy Review twitter seems to have attended the match. Lots of 2nd half subs. Apparently Ro-Shaun Williams missed a good chance in the first half. Dearnley did well for his goal.

Bloody good goal that was, the initial pass was very nice too.
He was subbed off in the 60th minute and apparently was subpar. Not surprising. I feel like he just hasn't been all that impressive this season in comparison to last season. Which kind of speaks volumes on how talented our u19s are if they're dominating with minimal contribution from Chong.
1 goal & 2 assists in 3 games for the u19s is hardly minimal contribution. The game against Juventus was the only u19 game he was poor in.
He's been good but maybe not as good as expected before the season started. My feeling is that Gomes was behind him last season but now it's Gomes who is in front again.
Minimal contribution does not mean he literally was awful. That was my mistake in not making it clearer. Minimal contribution was just me expressing he has a level that he hasn't tapped into. That was last season and no matter what stats you use, there is a clear difference in how scary he was to opponent defenses last season in comparison to this season. I'm not really into stats when judging that kind of contribution. Again, that was my fault for not giving more context as stats do show direct contribution.
Mickson is right, but Gomes having a better season isn't all to telling considering how excellent Gomes can be. It's more that Chong hasn't really made it that difficult. Early season though so it's really not a big deal and this observation was more to compliment the overall side.
edit: Also, it will be hard to have as good of a season as Gomes is currently having. I really like what Butt has done by putting him back there. Even when I had my small criticism of Gomes last season that he could be too passive at times, the one constant in his game was his contribution to making life easier for the overall side as he's really good at maintaining possession. Now that in the u19s his job makes that sort of contribution more mandatory, he's back to being a constant influencing force.

Yeah I'd agree he isn't having as good of a season as last year. I'd say it's partly down to the step up in physicality from u18s & him being well known now so being double marked at times. He also seems to be trying to turn into more of a goalscoring threat this season rather than playing his more natural game.
Perhaps he is not up to the physical standard?
He does look like like he needs to fill out a bit then his talent should come through a lot more in my opinion.
Don't know if the lad has got an agreement with an English club yet but I hope United are keeping an eye on Ireland u15 Captain Glory Nzingo, great name

First time with the 23s for Connor Stanley.
What time is kick off?
13 minutes ago.
Just stuck it on, cheers.
Got the bloody ref pulling off 1-2s better than Sbragia can coach.
It's nice to see Buffonge getting a game, he's someone I really enjoy watching.
Another awful performance. Are Butt and Sbragia mates? Only explanation I can think of.
Bohui scores in the 88th minute to make it 1-1.
Sbragia being in charge of the u23s is a joke
