U21s: City vs United
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
Worried about Mengi's future, way too many injuries 
No Mainoo?
Surely the lad needs to play some games.

True.
But in terms of today, I imagine with no Casemiro, Eriksen, VDB, and maybe McTominay for the first team then he's needed for the bench for the cup game with maybe just Fred and Sabitzer as fit or available CM's.
Hansen-Aarøen loses the ball easily and City punish us, 1-0.
United struggling with City's press
City break through from the right again and make it 2-0. This can easily be another hammering. Time to switch to the womens' FA Cup for me.
This could get ugly.
City down the right low cross Aljofree miscontrols and City finish from 3 yards
Wtf defending is that? Both goals.
It's the defending that has won us one clean sheet in all comps all season and conceded more goals than any other team in PL2 (Div 1).
Aljofree sent off, the afternoon is getting better and better
Could get really ugly now.Aljofree sent off, the afternoon is getting better and better
It's actually ridiculous how much better City are than United. I actually think they could win 10-0 if they wanted to. We have so many poor players and our setup is really poor.
and its 3
One or two of our midfielders look nice on the eye, but really none of this lot are making it here. So much dross.

Willy Kambwala is on. Good test for him.
A massacre taking place
Agreed. Hansen-Aarøen is a player who I have/had a bit of hope for but it's not looking good for him atm. Lots of competition in the position he plays in too. Same for Gore, who is also a player with some nice qualities.
Be careful. People will accuse you of being a City fan if you tell the truth.
Emile Heskey's son Jayden on for City
Norwegian Oscar Bobb gets City's 4th
'Fortunately' I've been having problems with the pump in my pond so had to turn the game off at 1-0 and try, unsuccessful, to sort that out.
Just checked back in now and really not surprised to see the scoreline. Was fully expecting the usual heavy loss against them.

Its interesting to see that we have very few homegrown players in the 21s with so many brought in from abroad. City have 6 local lads in that starting line up that have come all the way through with only Bobb from abroad.
Better players being coached better, simple as that.
You should be proud of it.
I think we bought a lot of crap in the 02 generation. Svidersky, Hardley, Emeran etc. I Imagine Emeran and Hardley will be gone in a couple of months.
Both Svidersky & Emeran were really unfortunate with ACL injuries before they even played for us. I quite liked Svidersky in his 2nd U18 year actually.
How did iqbal play?
Sucks for them, really, but they were never even remotely close to be good enough.
Didn't really do anything. We were totally outplayed for 95 minutes.
