MUTVWhere can I watch the game?
We are in good control. But lacking that final spark. 0-0 as it stands.Any update in the game. I am not able to find a working river for this.
We are useless at all levels at this time. Our best youngsters don't know what system we are playing or how to play. At this rate we will lose all of them soon. OGS will give them all 5 minutes in a useless game and then claim he gave all youth a chance.It scares me that some of our best youngsters cant perform better against Derby. And unfortunately Fernandez once again shows he cant defend.
Mee; Jurado, Mengi, Hardley, Fernandez; Svidersky, Hannibal; Wellens, Hansen, Garnacho; McNeillWhat’s the lineup?
Based on recent performances I would agree. Joe has found it difficult stepping up but hopefully he will find his legs. Charlie does what he does: scores goals. But he is an intelligent footballer too.I think McNeill is a better striker than the other up & coming striker we have in the U-23s, is it Joe Huggill?
A very young side out there today so I think it’s unfair to criticise them. I assume Elanga, Shoretire, Amad are being saved for the Europa youth league?Pathetic at all levels.
I agree with everything you said.Really should do better against a poor Derby. It's something odd about the coaching that I can't put my finger on. However, it's a young team and a lot of players born in both 2004 and 2005 played today. Fernandez and Hannibal the pick of the bunch for me. You can criticize Fernandez defending but he has been our most creative player this season, creating so many chances and is always available going forward, can dribble and pick a pass. A good cameo from Mainoo too.
Playing Wellens as a no7, tells you all you need to know.Really should do better against a poor Derby. It's something odd about the coaching that I can't put my finger on.

Apart from Elanga - none of them has shown anything that indicates they are even close to first team levels. So stop blaming that on OGS. You can still look like a good player even if the system isn't ideal.We are useless at all levels at this time. Our best youngsters don't know what system we are playing or how to play. At this rate we will lose all of them soon. OGS will give them all 5 minutes in a useless game and then claim he gave all youth a chance.
It's not just the coaching - some of these players look uninterested. Hannibal was completely anonymous for big parts of the game - at his best he will completely dominate these opponents. And what you are saying about Fernandez is correct - the problem is, he will be taken apart by a good winger. As it looks right now - he can play wingback in a 3-5-2 but he is nowhere near good enough for the first team in any other position. What I find puzzling about him is that going forward he looks pacy - defending he looks sluggish. He can run past players with the ball, and players can run past him when they have the ball.Really should do better against a poor Derby.

And btw - to call our U18 pathetic shows that you have very little knowledge of what you are talking about. After an awful start to the season where they looked really bad - they have really improved a lot and before todays game they have something like 4 wins and 2 draws in the last 6 league games. And they are 1-0 up at half-time against BurnleyPathetic at all levels.
Hannibal has been out for 2 months to be fair to him.It's not just the coaching - some of these players look uninterested.

That's were he has played most of his career...Playing Wellens as a no7, tells you all you need to know.
Think he might be alluding to the idea that he isnt good enough for that level.That's were he has played most of his career...
I've watched Wellens for quite a lot of games and never saw anything in him at all. If he is playing right wing, and he has a lot in his career, then we must have been short on players.That's were he has played most of his career...
These are good kids but really the only ones that probably have a hope of making the our top squad are Hannibal and Hansen. Potential on the bench with Vitek, Mather and Mainoo. Garnacho and McNeill will have good careers but it probably won't be with us. I also sadly think the same with Hugill.Mee; Jurado, Mengi, Hardley, Fernandez; Svidersky, Hannibal; Wellens, Hansen, Garnacho; McNeill
Subs: Vitek, Bennett, Mather, Savage, Mainoo
Shoretire is injured. Can't think of a reason for Elanga or Amad not playing here.So none of Diallo, Shoretire or Elanga made the squad today. Any other reason they didn’t play against Derby?
Rested for UEFA U19s game?Shoretire is injured. Can't think of a reason for Elanga or Amad not playing here.
Elanga maybe (but no one else was rested so who knows). Amad isn't eligible. He's a mystery. I don't think Ole fancies him, putting Mata on the bench before him.Rested for UEFA U19s game?
Ole is definitely reluctant to play him for the first team but can’t see how or why he’d veto reserve appearances.Elanga maybe (but no one else was rested so who knows). Amad isn't eligible. He's a mystery. I don't think Ole fancies him, putting Mata on the bench before him.
