U21s derby at Old Trafford on Tuesday

Re: U21's Derby

Better not watch these youngster derbies for me. Last time I did that Wilson guy scored 4 goals on his own versus City...

Some of the best City U 21 players need a good two years out on loan playing and improving a lot. Very premature to say they should in first team.

Angelino, Barker Byrne et etc. Go to Championship like Kane did 3-4 times...
Come back stronger...

Its kicked off apparently

Was wondering what was going on, all I could see were rags looking and pointing at City fans on tv

When u think of what we have out on loan it makes you think of what team we could have put out I.e. Rekik, Denayer, lopes, Cole, and kelechi Ambrose were big misses also.

I'm surprised at the negativity. City's defending has been poor but we've dominated the ball and kept passing against a side sitting very very deep. I'd be more worried if we'd been the side with ten men in our own half, regardless of the score.

Possession doesn't win games, but poor defending can certainly lose you games.

Again, a fair point. But at the end of the day, how important is the result in an under 21's match? We play passing football, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose but we keep playing football regardless. In my opinion that's more beneficial in the long term than the way the rags have set up.

I think the result is significant given that a league title is up for grabs and playing against the auld enemy. Development wise I see where you're coming from regarding how we are playing.

Fair enough, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

Ok.

Realistically none of these lads have much chance of ever being good enough for our first team.Sure plenty will have decent careers but they're not anywhere near the quality we now need.

Highly unlikely we'd win the title, needed to win all 4 games while Chelsea lost theirs I think. I'd rather see us play with a style and purpose but lose than play the way the OLDER rags team did. Also they had 3 players start who've had prem games this season.

It's way too early for a few of these players to write them off, id go as far to say Keen Bryan and Manu Garcia will play for our first team and I like the look of Nemane in the few games I've seen him but for me Barker has a hell of a lot to do.

the city fans have been terrific

It's kicked off in the stand

you there mate ?

My mate was, he's just phoned me, it kicked off in the ground and all over outside, loads of lads up for it, no one wearing colours. One lad outside sparked clean out. For an older blue who's seen it all, he said it was bad.
