Rashford

1982, first of all, I'm primarily talking about consequence not cause. But secondly, if we're going to beat LVG on the head for the small squad (when he said early in the season that part of that decision was to let youngsters have a chance), I don't think we have the right to be pleased with the displays of some of the younger players without giving him a bit of credit. It doesn't absolve him of the awful season but this faint silver lining is down to a decision that he made and we criticised.

Not saying he doesn't deserve credit when they have done well because he clearly decided to rely on them as squad players. But I think people rightly were concerned he did as they felt they weren't quite ready which I think is fair and has showed. Spurs on the other hand have managed to get the balance right IMO and there hasn't been the worries of having to rely on the inexperienced the way we have.

And they are rightly being applauded for the performance, but that doesn't mean they've proved anything yet.

He equaled Hazard's goals for the season in just one game.

TBF Hazard has been absolute dogsh-t all season.

What I particularly liked about our young lads tonight (and Memphis as well) we the fearless nature of their play. Reminded me of how we used to play in our best days. These kids showed how apathetic some of our regulars have been, they attacked with vigor and confidence. Proud of you young Rashford.

1982 (if you're still around) I guess we might have had a bit more balance in how we introduced youngsters if not for the injury apocalypse. But I agree we can't laud LVG for the scale of the youth opportunities as if it were entirely by design. Just think we should acknowledge that we wouldn't have seen so many youngsters emerging this season if LVG had done what we all wanted and given us more experienced cover.

He's clearly better than Hazard, local lad too.

He is the second coming of Messi

Amid the doom and gloom this season, I am thankful to see a lot of our young lads come into the team and do a job this season. Some have taken the opportunities awarded them and some like Mcnair appear to have regressed even further.

As usual we have our usual injury collapse but well done to the lads for coming in and putting in the effort for the shirt.

So this one goes out to the youngsters;

Borthwick-Jackson (The Second Coming of Evra)
Perreira (The Second Coming of Scholes)
Lingard
Riley (The 3rd Coming of Wayne Bridge)
Rashford (The Black Messi)
Varela (The second coming of G Force Nev)
Love (The second coming of Rafael)
Keane (The second Coming of Van Nistelrooy)
McNair

Hopefully you go on to have superb careers, preferably at Utd. I just hope the next manager gives you chances where possible.

Cant argue with the sentiment muddster
