Remember that there have been recent rule changes also.The U21s are now the new U23s. This gives younger players more time to develop

Glad that Jose is there myself. He still needs games to get back up to speed and he'll be a wise head amongst the youngsters.
But Rashford is 18 and ripping it up like Rooney at 18 - Rooney's experience just seems to have jaded him
 
Stream on Sportsmania.eu is superb as always. Spend 25 quid and you get six months of HD streams.

Hesketh has been a revelation, Long has been destroying them since Dann went off, but couldn't finish a sentence. Charlie could have had more.

All that being said, my favourite moment of the half was hearing the crowd chant "Cuco Martina". He deserves it.
 
Hesketh star of the first half. Also first half completely epitomises Long as a player, unbelievable energy, complete nuisance, yet can't finish :( we should be 4-0 up
 
Tell you what, If Nathan had been playing and had missed the ones Charlie's missed, he'd have been getting some stick from the crowd.

Considering Palace's team, that's a superbly put together half. McCarthy has had absolutely nothing to do.

But then the worry, as always, is that it's only 1-0.

If the second half is as the first though, there's nowt to worry about.

Yes, Rooney is too content, overweight, and he's lost his fire. Besides which, people age differently, and Rooney is one of the older 31 year olds.

Anyway, the main point is that standards are higher and not everyone can burst through at 17-18. With that in mind, Hesketh has been showing us what he has this evening. Quite a lot, is the answer. He's 20, I think.

Worth every penny. Streaming mine via Chromecast and watching it on a 42" screen and it's OK. Not HD but perfectly acceptable. I can't believe, given how often sportsmania has been recommended on here, that people are still scrabbling around every game from terrible streams. Quid a week.
