FA Youth Cup - 2011

May as well get its own thread, as if they perform to their abilities this team could have a decent run. Having said that, we have tended to underperform when we've had a decent side in the past.

First game is next week at home to Portsmouth.

Some of the players who are eligible;

Keepers;

Sam Johnstone

Defenders;

Tom Thorpe
Larnell Cole
Michele Fornasier
Ezekiel Fryers
Alberto Massaci
Sean McGinty
Tyler Blackett
Michael Keane

Midfielders;

Paul Pogba
Ravel Morrison
Ryan Tunnicliffe
Gyliano van Velzen
Etzah Hussain
Jesse Lingard

Attackers;

John Cofie
William Keane

Pretty formidable squad tbh.

It's a bit light up front, numbers wise, should go close though.

Oh, and isn't Larnell Cole a midfielder?

Seen him play at either full back or midfield. Be surprised if he makes the team really.

That midfield has so much potential it's scary.

With the exception of Lingard and Hussein. Not seen Van Velzen yet.

Same on Van Velzen, I'm just going on YouTube clips and the fact we nicked him so he must be good.

Tonight btw.

Is it on MUTV?

Would imagine so.

Presumably Josh King is available for this one as well now?

I think King may be too old. He is 19 this week. I think the players have to be under 18 at the of august.

Will watch if there is a stream.

Johnstone, Thorpe, Fornasier, Blackett, M Keane, Cole, Tunnicliffe, Pogba, van Velzen,W Keane and Cofie.

Not sure if it is cole or lingard playing.

What's the story with Morrison and the witness intimidation court case? Or Is that bullshit?

No idea. There's that much shit posted about him on the net, it is hard to tell what is true and what isn't.
