Kick off at 11am
U18s - Manchester United vs Liverpool
- Thread starter RedMachine03
- Start date
Frustrating that the U18 games aren't shown live if the first team have an early kick off. Hopefully we are lucky this time and an LFCTV stream will show it?

Nothing happened in the first 12 or so mins - really windy making it hard for the players
Liverpool really Close to taking the lead on 2 occations. Glatzel just missing a low cross before Mengi and Thompson combine to save a ball on the line
Blowing a gale now. Really effecting the football
Bernard once again showing what a poor defender he is by converting a low cross into his own net - completely under no pressure. It was a hard cross - but he is standing with his face to the goal - you just don't do that.
own goal from Bernard
Greenwood should score - does everything right and through on goal he could slot it home or set up Elanga but blasts is horribly over from 18 yards
Not good from Mason there. Should have at least got it on target or layed it off.
Greenwood through again - shoots just wide of the far post from an acute angle
Nearly from Mason. Drove forward and got off a shot, but went just wide.
We are not getting Ramazani and Elanga properly into the game - but after the Liverpool-game it's been all-United
Not a good game for Williams thus far
Hopefully the conditions blow into Anfield later today. Klopp wouldn't fancy this wind.
Garner's had a good game
Yup - but quite a few of the others havent. Ramazani, Elanga, Traore not been their usual selves - while we have looked a bit shaky defensively
Out of curiosity - anyone got the stats of our other attacking players ? I have a feeling that if we remove Greenwood - our attackers/wingers haven't scored a lot of goals
It's a kind of game where we really shouldn't be behind. Greenwood has not been clinical - Elanga and Ramazani have been largely Anonymous (the latter just substituted for Mellor). Bernard with a stupid owngoal - and Garner bossing the midfield.
Williams through on goal - but keeper saves. Good play by Mellor in the build-up
Bernard close with a header. Good pressure now
We’ve had a lot like that this season, cheers for the update.
I feel like Williams is probably our 2nd top scorer
Red card for Brookwell..second yellow
Liverpool CB off. Second yellow.
Poor from the goalkeeper with a difficult pass putting Brookwell in problems
6th straight u18 match (vs United) Liverpool have gone a man down
Not quite, Laird's output was absolutely insane, even more insane to think he's been injured for 2 months.I feel like Williams is probably our 2nd top scorer

Bernard red card
Greenwood not in good form
FT 1-1
Thought Brandon Williams might have started at right-back, with Reece Devine coming in at left-back, but saying that, thought Ethan Galbraith like Puigmal before him did a decent job as a makeshift fullback against a talented Liverpool side.
Good game, United dominant but just couldn't break down a well organized Liverpool. Greenwood had a great chance to win the game right at the death but couldn't find the back of the net.Mengi and Bernard at centre back are forming a nice partnership.
That is a nice thing to say when one of the defenders scored an owngoal and got sent off. Mengi could be a decent defender with a bit more experience, but Bernard...?
Maybe I've been watching more than just 1 game.
Someone on youtube made an interesting suggestion with Traore. Don't you think given his qualities, could be a decent RB? Traore can bomb forward with pace. He would be a decent passer for the position given that he has started off as a midfielder. And he has really good feet which lets him keep the ball in tight areas, which is where he'll be operating at in the wings and there isn't much space there in comparison to the center.
