Gonna be a tough game. Need to win. Expect Powell to play.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 10-12-2012, 17:27

Team: Sutherland, Vermijl, Thorpe, Wootton, Buttner, Bebe, Tunnicliffe, Powell, Petrucci, Cole, Macheda.
Subs: Gollini, Veseli, Lawrence, Fornasier, McGinty.

Meaty challenge from Watkins-Clark on Petrucci. Yellow card awarded.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 18:20

Good play by Tunnicliffe on two seperate occasions in the space of a minute.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 18:34

Further good play from Tunnicliffe creates an opportunity for Macheda. The Italian was unable to take advantage as he crowded out inside Villa's penalty area.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 18:48

Crunching tackle involving Buttner. He may have sustained an injury as a result.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 18:50

0-0 at half time. Apart from odd moment the first half has been fairly uneventful. We 're not creating enough goal scoring opportunities. With surging runs and tackles Tunnicliffe has been United's best player so far.

I dont particularly like having a go at young players but I cannot see what Bebe brings to the club at all.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:03

He's been poor during the first half. I'm reluctant to be critical because of his background and the circumstances in which he signed. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't leave in the summer.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:03

McGinty replaces the injured Buttner.

**boothstownred** · 10-12-2012, 19:05

Agreed he has come from an awful background to better himself and full credit for that. however this is a 7 million pound player who is possibly the worst buy we have ever had.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:08

Classy stuff from Powell.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:10

Bebe has the raw tools, but he doesn't have a football brain.

**boothstownred** · 10-12-2012, 19:12

Bebe is our best ever buy.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:12

Bebe scores! Haha 1-0 United, Vermijl with the assist.

lol. its a cruel game football.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:15

It is indeed.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:17

Bebe now hits the post.

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:19

Some effort from Powell...

**Sideshow Bob** · 10-12-2012, 19:21

Good layoff from Macheda to Powell, but he hits his effort straight at Villa's 'keeper.

**boothstownred** · 10-12-2012, 19:22

Think powell will be a good player.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 10-12-2012, 19:23

In no way is Bebe good enough but I feel sorry for him, could be doing very well for himself in the Portuguese league now.

How has Powell done? I'm only just tuning in.
