Youth Team/Cup

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Ince and Woodburn probably part of the senior squad for Sunday. 

[alles ist gut]

I promise that if Ince is in the senior squad, I’ll murder whoever is responsible.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Hahaha, fuck knows why I had his name in my head, obviously meant to type Ings. 

[Allan]

Quite the attacking line-up.

[Allan]

City 0 Liverpool 1

 

Penalty to us after Wilson is fouled in the box.

 

Long ball from Johnston finds Wilson on the right and his wonderful first touch took him past his marker into the box where he's brought down for a stonewall penalty.

 

Wilson picks himself up and sends the home keeper the wrong way.

[Allan]

City 1 Liverpool 1

 

Masterson is caught on the ball trying to play out from the back leaving us short through the middle. A nice little weighted ball through the gap found the home side's striker one on one with Grabara, and the striker passed the ball beyond the Pole in our goal to bring the score level.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

2-1 City now, just before H/T n all. 

[Allan]

City 2 Liverpool 1

 

The City number 7 walks passed Parker who appears to want to come off. The City winger continues his run into the box and slots home from close range.

[Allan]

Curtis Jones on for Parker.

 

Would imagine Herbie will drop into right back.

[Allan]

Almost 3-1. Grabara makes a very good save to keep the score at 2-1.

 

Could then have been 2-2 as we break down the other end through Curtis Jones, who finds Rhian Brewster breaking into the box and the young striker sees an effort come back off the post.

[Allan]

Brewster down now after an awkward fall after jumping for a header. Stretcher being called for.

 

The second time the stretcher has been out as City's number 11 had to be stretchered off earlier.

[Allan]

Millar on for Brewster.

 

Looks a bad one for Rhian. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Hopefully not that bad. 

[Allan]

Halftime - City 2 Liverpool 1

 

Just under 15 minutes of stoppage time played following the injuries to the City number 11 and later, Rhian Brewster.

 

We had the lead through Wilson's penalty, and Harry really should have made it 2-0 just moments later when he missed a free header from around 8 yards after good play by Dhanda down the left.

 

The City equaliser came about via a mistake at the back by Masterson, and then City took advantage of Mich'el Parker's injury to take the lead going into the break.

 

So, 3 goals & 3 substitutions, 2 of which resulted in players being stretchered off the pitch.

[alles ist gut]

Well, at least we still have 11 men on the pitch. Baffling that we brought no defensive substitutes at all, what with Juanma being made of crisps as well as Parker having missed most of the last 18 months.

[Ne Moe Imya]

We've been the better team but the injuries have pretty much taken the rhythm out of the game.

 

Hope Brewster's OK. He's such a good player, definitely going to get a chance in the first team at some point.

[Allan]

Hopefully not that bad. 

 

You hope that it's not bad of course, it was concerning to see that Rhian was given oxygen as he was being stretchered off. The City lad who was taken off didn't look like he received any, and he looked in a fair amount of pain too.

[Allan]

Second half underway. Looks like a change of formation, reverting to 3 at the back to get Herbie back into the middle of the park.

[Allan]

Some lovely play through the middle of the park ends with Liam MIllar finding Wilson with a backheel sending the young Welshman through on goal, but his finish is poor and we still trail.

[Allan]

Another injury, this time to Harry Wilson. Looks like a muscular injury. 

[Allan]

Wilson back on. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

3-1 now. 

[Allan]

City 3 Liverpool 1

 

Missed the goal.

[Allan]

Toni Gomes on for Yan Dhanda.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

At least Leicester were held to a 0-0 draw away to West Ham.
