Ibragimov is only 14?

Zlatan is 41

 

[Remember the geese]

Ibragimov is only 14?

Mantato is too. Though only for a few more days.

 

[KevinJoh]

Ibragimov is only 14?

14 yes, he is I think April 2008, while Lacey in April 2007. Mantato is January 2008, Fitzegarald is also like Lacey 15

 

[AltiUn]

Ibragimov is only 14?

That's mental, Lacey and Fitzgerald are only 15 too.

 

[KevinJoh]

Munro as well, this is very young team.

[Messier1994]

Love our kids playing up from the back and the baby Klopps pressing like madmens

Thanks for the info, intrigued to see some of these lads play.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ibragimov is only 14?

He was talked of as being 15 when he signed up with us?

 

[AltiUn]

May have been playing an age up and MEN got confused? Either that or Transfer Market has the wrong age which isn't outside the realms of possibility.

 

[AltiUn]

Deserved United goal, 1-0 Scanlon.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

McShane. Every man’s worst nightmare when walking through a park and some kids kick a football in your direction.

 

[AltiUn]

Liverpool penalty after a clumsy foul, 1-1.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Harrison’s starting position and calmness under pressure is something I’d like to see more of in our first team.

He's the most laid back keeper I think I've ever seen

Fecking hell. Almost jinxed him there.

 

[AltiUn]

Probably end up eating my words here but our lads look miles better on the ball. As I say this Musa fluffs an excellent ball by Lacey.

 

[AltiUn]

Fecking hell. Almost jinxed him there.

Liverpool somehow don't go 2-1 up 2 vs 1 after some poor miscommunication.

 

[Messier1994]

What do you guys think about Adam Berry? Playing as a No 8 today. I like the look of him, think ETH really will appreciate his style.

Been quality today.

Probably should be 2-2 going into half time, we've both missed a golden chance each.

 

[Remember the geese]

I love watching Harrison. This is the type of keeper we need in our first team.

 

[Messier1994]

The Youths have clearly taken to ETHs style of play.

But — one thing that seems a bit hard to grasp (at many levels) — is the need to quite regularly (a) turn back, (b) slow down and (c) move the team up. Like Antony does with the men’s team.

The ends just don’t meet if you play up from the back, play with a high defense, press high — and constantly attacks the net and goes for the killer ball.

If the wingers turn back more often, they give the rest of the team time to move up, Liverpool have to sink deep with at least 7-8 guys, they will tire more and we can jump on them directly when they get up pitch.

 

[Remember the geese]

Is Harrison Parker injured at the moment?

 

[limerickcitykid]

Yep, Lacey looks good.

 

[Remember the geese]

What a goal from Fitzgerald! You won't see a better one from a United player all season.

Hit it well!

 

[AltiUn]

Lacey looks a player.

Been injured for like half a season.

 

[Remember the geese]

Been injured for like half a season.

Ah that's a shame. Cheers.

Ah that's a shame. Cheers.

At this level we have Ennis, Curley, Lawrence, Ogunneye, Sharpe, Missin, McAllister that have been injured for most of the season so far as well, with Fredricson, Mather, Wheatley on shorter term. (Moorhouse probably injured as well given him not in the squad today)

Seems to be a bit of a recurring theme for us at this level in recent years. Not sure if it's something that is specific to this club, pure bad luck, or just an age thing.

Moorhouse got injured in his last game.

 

[Mr. MUJAC]

He is having another knee operation this week and will be out for the rest of the season.

Feel bad for the kid. I'm sure he'll come back stronger. Thanks for the info.

 

[mav_9me]

Screamer from Fitzgerald

a very mature performance

 

[lysglimt]

a very mature performance

Missed todays match so can't comment on that - but generally this season his end product has been .. let's call it "not great" and be kind. He also is too lightweight in duels - he generally has been very inefficient in most matches. But he has a lot of technical ability with the ball at his feet.
