Pre & Post Match | U21 Derby - 11th February

Looks like this Utd' team is already coached by Mourinho, poor on the ball and just packing their own penalty area. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
Our movement and urgency was poor leading to us just holding onto the ball. United were just as bad sat 10 men behind the ball and caught us a couple of times of the counter (scoring once). Haven't watched the U21's much this year but I can imagine that was one of our poorer performances. Although I think our players will learn more from that than theirs did.
 
Well, that was a disappointment. Had high hopes for an entertaining win tonight following the excellent performance on Sunday at Liverpool, but Jeez... that really was a bit shit. Shame, cos there's probably places up for grabs in the Chelsea cup game.
 
We weren't potent enough in the final third.
Played some good possession based football, but no end product.
Reminds me of this other team that play in Manchester.
It's all a learning curve and the kids will be learning from this... crying out for some finishers this eds team
 
Doubt Simon Davies will be there for very long, wasn't impressed with the tactics at all. I just can't imagine Pep being pleased with that when he arrives.

Knock it around between the defenders for a while, then a big hoof up the park. We weren't playing into the centre midfielders anywhere close to enough. It's like Barcelona trying to play possession football but not giving it to Xavi or Iniesta. Just wrong.

A.Garcia - oh dear. Sorry but he isn't good enough. I find it hard to believe there's no local players at that level.
 
Nowt tougher than playing against a parked bus, it will be a good lesson for the kids. Some got lost in the lack of space, some tried to force things, none of them managed to figure out the best way to break down an organised, packed defence.
 
It was a little bit like watching the senior team with plenty of possession and not much end result against an organised defence. Also the odd malfunction in defence.
From this performance did not see anyone that could make that move up into the first team at the present time.
