Fabulous ball in by Duhaney. Ambrose should have scored.

Is this on the wireless? Have no broadband capable of a stream at moment bit enough to get a radio feed.

Be nice if the players had the names on the shirts, not sure of the feasibility/if they have set numbers but it would be nice to know who's who. The little lad in midfield sprays the ball around with such ease, lovely to watch at such an age. (number 6 or 8, can't quite see, playing deeper)

One of the Garcia's no doubt.

Rural, do you mean Wifi or are you going old school on the radio? If you have wifi ..... Uefa.com their UYL youtube stream.
I'm watching on my phone.

Wireless, the good old fashioned radio transistor ;-)

Can be an online stream just not fast enough to show a match.

I know we're a man up, but it really is nice football to watch.
The two centre backs look very comfortable on the ball. We never play a hit in hope ball even when we are in trouble.
It really does seem to be a philosophy of how you play is more important than the result at this age.

Alex I think. Great player to watch, first time I've seen him but just looks a natural. About 5 mins ago the keeper cleared it and rather than panic head it back up the field, like quite a few prem players would do, he took a step back, brought it down on his chest and played a simple ball out wide. Class.

Roberts made it.

[john@staustell]

Good boys

Missed the Roberts goal and second red card but caught the last 20 mins, which were a stroll. Juve looked very tired.
Don't know what you can learn from that, I'll leave that
to the regulars.

Roberts looks good. Was more impressed with Aleux Garcia, though. Ambrose was having one of those days. We overdid it a bit at times infront of goal.

Liked the look of Duhaney. First I've seen of Patching as well, nice goal. Nmecha showed striker instinct.
All enjoyable stuff.
Now for the main event.

As ever an interesting and good game to watch. The goal we gave away early on was such a shame for Grimshaw in his first game at this level but such cock ups will happen when the keeper is under orders to try and pass the ball out rather than just whack it.

But from there we were the better team and once down to 10 men it was a formality even if it did take us a while to get the goals. Excellent from Nemane to score yet again just by being the guy who gets to the back post when crosses come over but the move to get it there was quality with I think Manu Garcia involved and then Roberts.

The game was lit up by Roberts on a number of occasions but that goal he scored was just very very special. The comparisons with Messi are there to be made. Of course he isn't as good as Messi or anything like it but he does have wonderful balance and the ability to go past players on both sides at good pace. He also seems to have the amazing talent of making the defender think he can win the ball but he just nicks it away and goes past them.

Definitely worth the entrance fee on his own even though it didn't cost anything. A fantastic talent which we will see in the first team sooner rather than later. Aleix Garcia who played the deep lying midfield role looks a talented player when he does the quarterback thing and he is very composed on the ball but I am yet to be fully convinced. I think he missed a few crucial tackles today and if he is going to be a defensive midfield player who can spray the ball around he needs a bit more about him on the defensive side.

How we didn't score more I don't know. A combination of overplaying ,some good saves by their keeper and some poor finishing but nonetheless I thought we looked pretty good as a team all round.
