    Liverpool under 21's threw away a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 today

    Ngoo, Robinson and Adorjan with the goals

    Pacheco had another sold game, to build on his impressive performance against Wolves and should get a look in for the first team, especially in the Europa League this Thursday.

    Even though Sama has had a very good season so far, today he was woeful

    Would've been great if Ngoo, N'gog and Amoo had ever played in the same team.

    Amoo had a lot of potential, surprised he didn't progress as much as I thought he would do

    Remember him starting in Woy's first game in charge :laughing:

    Nick Powell had a decent game against Galatasaray. It wasn't a perfect performance but there was enough to suggest that he could turn out to be a very good player. It wasn't the easiest of games and the environment he played in was fairly hostile. On the whole, not too bad for an 18-year-old.

    EDIT: He isn't an academy player but I figured he may well be mentioned in this thread due to his age.

    Had a decent header against the bar

    He'll probably play a lot more reserve football this season, so might as well see how his development is going in this thread :thumbup1:

    Danny Wilson has joined Bristol City on loan for two months

    At least he'll be getting some good first team experience

    Good thread this.

    Some good talents coming through in the United 18's this season.

    Daehli, Pearson, Januzaj, Barmby, Ionnau, Perreira, Harrop, Wilson all impressive players. Looking forward to the youth cup really.

    The U-21's however has seen bit of a drop in quality with injuries, loans and players like Ravel Morrison, Zeki Fryers and Pogba leaving in the summer.

    Macheda and Bebe need to move on permanently, and few others like Petrucci, Tunnicliffe, Cole and others need a good loan move.

    Pogba has been quality at Juventus from what I've heard. Should have just played him.

    He has achieved nothing yet, but thinks he is maradona already. And that agent of his doesn't help matters one bit either.

    Still don't get why exactly he left either. Isn't exactly starting every game at Juve and would have gotten plenty of game time considering our midfield options. (Probably more than Powell who has gotten fair bit already).

    Think it was a bit of a relationship breakdown with Sir Alex more than anything else. And once you have pissed him off there is no coming back.

    Quite disappointed with the way things turned out with Morrison and Pogba. They were really promising while playing for the reserves and looked like it was a matter of time before they were eased into the first team.

    If their attitudes are anything to go by, good riddance.

    I pretty much got the impression that him having a cunt of an agent played a major role in him leaving.

    I got that impression as well, but it's hard to say. It could well have been his decision so that he gets more playing time.

    Hearing good things about Eisfeld in Arsenal U21s.

    Looked impressive against Reading when he came on as well.

    Just to put perspective on Pogbas agent on what sort of guy he is

    Hes also the agent for Zlatan and Ballotelli

    Its not even a surprise

    Looking forward to watching our reserves play later.
