Yes.
Reserves vs Liverpool this evening
- Thread starter PS18
- Start date
I dont like Kiko as a player or as a personality.
King looks decent.

I'm really liking Josh King. At least that's one highlight from this.
Do ya know him well?
He knew him when he was 16.
Dear me indeed.
Not happening this is it? Some very good chances going begging.
Awful miss by Chester. They've had chances.
Playing well, just can't score, and we should have, several times.
It's looking like one of those games unfortunately. At least we've played some better football 2nd half.
Nice finish, not a foul.
Joke of a decision from the ref :/
fecking shit ref
Does anyone like Machedas attitude?
Kiko scores, but someone blew on the goal keeper, so it's dissallowed. Pathetic.
fecking penalty that.
fecking not a penalty.
Macheda gets a free pass for life, no matter how much of a prick he might be.
I am 100% sure he will not make it here.
What?? Macheda, with just two touches has attained the status of untouchable, act like you can't zee it
Why do you say that?
Just turned 18 and being written off because of his attitude. Those slightly cocky types never make good footballers of course.
This is Ole spirit time
Surely we will score
Surely we will score
Nobody takes Scholesy seriously, he's just a wum.
Shit game, should by rights have been a draw but feck it.
The Reserves forum used to be a place where you could escape spastics like Scholesy - who forgot to lock the door?
Cause he's a fecking spastic.
Prolly me, I rarely go in here :|
We deserved the draw and kiko's goal should have stood. Second half we were good. If King, Wellbeck (more so first half) and kiko had of produced what they did in the build up in the penalty area, we'd have won by five.
King was class - Evans had one of those games. Tosic got better. De laet, gray were good. Chester missed a sitter but improved in the second half
We lost but it's hard to talk about the performance as we did play 10 men for the last 50 odd minutes and we just couldn't get that goal we needed
On kiko, his general play was very good. It was one of his better performances linking up play and I would disagree with this attitude talk. A striker is entitled to have a shot
BUT for the possession we should have created more. Our best chances probably came from set pieces

Scholsey do you dislike Ibrahimovic as a player or his attitude?
The set pieces were woeful tonight and both Welbeck and Macheda were guilty of overplaying when they had a good chance to get a shot in. But really, nothing much of note was created for them despite the man advantage.

Meh, poor enough. Defence is poor in this age bracket without Cathcart. Dudgeon is poor, Chester does not really look like a first teamer. De Laet is only suited to full back probably. Gray always gives you 100% anyway.
In midfield, I'm not sure centre midfield really suits Evans. I think fullback would be his best shot at a career. Eikrems passing really needs to be perfect if he's to have a future in the first team squad but he was sloppy at times tonight.
Tosic, well, he's not really progressing.
King played well, looks to have a lot of potential.
Welbeck and Macheda, starved of the ball but a bit wasteful at times. Maybe they think reserve football is beneath them at this stage.

a tad harsh on the basis of one game - after all aside from the goal they created little and after the sending off they offered little. I can only remember gray off the line and ngog headering it down and it bouncing over the bar......
Ibrahimovics attitude is not that poor. And his technique is supreme.
I am not convinced by Machedas talent. He may be a natural goalscorer, but the rest of his play is poor. Such an average player, except his goalscoring instincts.
No one can deny that he thinks and acts as if he is already bigtime. Tonight he was faced infront of 3 defenders, with King free in space, but ignored him and sliced his shot wide. King had his arms up in the air, not aggressively, but what most players would do. Macheda, Im sure said 'feck off...' in a quite aggressive, cnutish way.
I hope we dont see him in the first team this season. Never, actually.
You're being a bit hard on Dudgeon, he was excellent for the Academy last season, and in the reserves games he's played this season.
Get a grip. A lot of strikers with great reputations like Muller and Greaves were complete pricks on the pitch. And please remind us what age Macheda is?
As I implied earlier, I think Macheda may be a bit arrogant, thinking reserve football is beneath him. He'll get that arrogance knocked out when he plays a lot more first team football and sees how far he needs to go to prove himself.
These unorthodox games are often the ones you learn from and we did a lot better in the second half. We certainly didn't deserve to lose but credit to Liverpool for making it difficult for us.
Its poor and for a big, young guy, Macheda has fantastic technique. He's still a bit raw at times but thats just his age and lack of experience.
I'm surprised that you, someone known to have a constant boner for any player with good technique, cant see this though.
Hmm, as has been said, you're clearly a moron.
Very harsh on the defence I think, Dudgeon's solid enough at left-back (as is Gray on the other side) while Chester and de Laet have looked more than competent at reserve level against more threatening attacks than Liverpool's tonight. Just not a great night for them, no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
True, there was no lack of effort and I'm sure if we'd got one we would have gone on to win it.
There's nothing wrong with the odd defeat at reserve/youth level (as long as it's not every week) if you learn something from it, and they should do from that.
