U21s: United vs. Stoke

[mo0]

Tunniclife shaded the mom tonight, put some good effort in. Powell does look like he's wasted at this level & Macheda still struggles with staying on side and playing as a lone striker.

he did have a full season in the Football League you know

Was there an assist for Powell's goal?

Was there an assist for Powell's goal?

I wouldn't say so. He made it for himself really.

Edit: but the pass to him was played by Januzaj, if I remember correctly

 

[Ekeke]

Sometimes you have to roll the dice. Juventus have done with Pogba, we should at least give him a shot, in one game, IMO.

I agree about his positioning though. I actually think that there is a Berbatov-esque arrogance about him, kind of like he thinks that he is good enough for the game to come to him, he needs to get a bit more intensity in his play.

Powell closes people down well. Cant say I ever saw that from Berbatov

Hmm, is there an official ruling on what qualifies as an 'assist'? I like to be generous and give it to whoever supplied the ball even if the goal was just down to individual brilliance.

Well if I remember, Januzaj slipped him the ball in the inside right channel- he tehn beat about 3 players and finished it.

Might want to wait for the video, but I think it was Januzaj

Do u21s highlights tend to get posted in match threads, or the videos thread (if they get posted at all)?

 

[gooDevil]

I'd say the tend to be posted in the match thread.

 

[Joemo]

There's a guy on Youtube/Facebook called Mr MUJac or something who has videos and compilations of most of the matches.

Good vhs rip

[Platato]

Terrible quality for the video. Great goal

 

[KingEric7]

Was quality. Top marks to Paddy Crerand for somehow managing to restrain himself from saying 'triffic' there, too.

 

[Will Absolute]

When it began I thought it was some kind of funky music video.

The great goal was the obvious highlight, but Powell had a good game generally. I think as he settles in and gains confidence he's showing us more of what he can do.

 

[Ekeke]

So why was the match played on the moon?

 

[Leg-End]

Because our youngsters are out of this world...tss.

 

[Elliott]

Stoke hate gravity.

 

[Sally Cinnamon]

They must have filmed that with a brick.
