    78 mins we made the goalie kinda work.

    Oh it's on like Donkey Kong now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,984 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Some cross


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Very good ball in by greenwood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    At least our Jersey looks nice!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,638 ✭✭✭✭bangkok


    I'd take 3 or 4 shots on target to be honest. Would represent significant progress.

    Dreading this season under mourinho

    If only Martial knew it was only SJE.

    Going to be a loooong season.

    Going to be a loooong season.

    Yeah I really hope Greenwood, Garner, Mitchell, Chong and Tuanzebe don't drag United down this season like they are in this game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    Team with no creative players can't create chances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    These games are only fitness exercises,I wouldn't put much heed into them.

    I'd be more worried about Martial starting up front this season......

    God damn, martial. You make it sooooo hard to defend you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,815 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Fcuk. This SJE sub was born 2002.

    Still feel old @astradave?

    I gave him an out earlier saying his issue was he was playing at St and not LW.

    He's been as bad at LW in this half

    I dont think Sanchez can be blamed anymore either.

    He doesn't want to be at the club full stop. His attitude stinks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,815 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Also another appearance for Darmian where he has been utterly non-existant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49,304 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Well.

    That was 90 minutes of United football.

    As fun as most games last season.

    The direction of this club is painful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Have to feel sorry for the fans paying to watch this crap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,133 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Poor pigeon dying on the pitch from boredom was the highlight.

    Well that was a bore fest but hey ho.

    Special mention for Martial who actually looked like he didn’t break sweat the whole game.

    Well its a WC year. We were always gunna be sending a skeleton squad over there. Is it 13 senior players missing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭Will I Am Not


    That 25m from Dortmund isn’t looking so bad now :pac:

    Wouldn't look too much into stuff like that in the pre-season, or indeed the same for Martial.


    The worrying thing is the fact that we still don't look comfortable in possession in that we don't really appear to have an idea of how to move the ball forward through the phases and construct attacks. Either Fred turns out to be one hell of a creative player or we still need another.

    Still should be beating the mls teams comfortably though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49,304 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    I can see why United haven't signed new full backs or a winger. No need to add to this squad!

    Shape and movement terrible as usual, but playing at tempo in those conditions in the second match was never going to happen.

    Still very worrying that it's the same boring, patternless, predictable crap we've seen the last two seasons.

    Gonna need HUGE changes in two weeks time.

    Two weeks.

    Even tho its the EXACT level of performance they have had since the end of last year?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,638 ✭✭✭✭bangkok


    Just cannot see mourinho lasting the season. Sucking the life out of the players. Half the fans already against him

    Woodward might squeak one more over the line if we are very lucky.
