Larnell Cole is not Andrew Cole's son, or any relation to him at all. Common misinterpretation.

It was a cracking game, being 2-0 down and come back 2-3 to win the game. The match ended with both teams with 9 men, because of some very questionable refereeing 4 people got sent off. Paul Pogba fell victim to this poor refereeing given 2 yellow cards within 20 seconds because he had to retake a penalty and the referee couldn't handle the situation. All in all, I'm glad we came through this with Cole starting the comeback with a penalty and Ravel Morrison adding 2 more the later a very spectacular volley to win the match.

One of the most enjoyable factors for me is watching a great young talent emerge and develop through the youth team to the first team, especially if he is Mancunian!
More often than not the expectation and hope is left unfulfilled Rossi, Thornley, Curtis, David Jones, Gillespie, Cooke, to name but a few.
Ravel is probably the most talked about young player I've known in 40 odd years watching the youth team. And that is saying something even Becks and Giggs did not have the expectation on their young shoulders that Ravel has.
I remember many saying Curtis was going to be the New Duncan Edwards, Sammy Mac the new George Best etc but we've all read newspaper articles claiming this lad will be the centre of the England team for a decade or more when he was 15 or 16.
It is a big ask to cope with such expectation.
It did seem the pressure was telling but recently he has suddenly moved up a few gears and is progressing as we hoped. It normally is progression in stop and starts no matter how good they become, as long as he continues to improve every 6 months he is going in the right direction.
Its good to see he has improved his finishing to go along with his undoubted dribbling skills.
