Yeah right. Real did not try hard by playing 90 minutes with just two players who were not in the squad for the Champions league final.Solid game but let's not pretend as if Real was really trying that hard. On that third goal, Kagawa had more time and space than he'll ever have in a single BPL game and that was just on sequence. When Real turned it on, it showed that we still have flaws in our game.
in about ten minutes. sky sports showing 90s highlights of us beating them..What time will the Liverpool game be?
To quote Van Gaal: "When you listen good, you play good".Since when did Tyler Blackett become so composed on the ball? I was reading the Birmingham and Blackpool forums last season to see how he was doing and the general consensus was that he is a donkey.
Upper right part of the screen is a drop down menu to choose from...How do I vote for MoM?
Ahhh, thought so but wanted to confirm.This means he is good at dribbling.
Meant the final, would be the first pre-season game actually worth watching I can remember!in about ten minutes. sky sports showing 90s highlights of us beating them..
Tyler Blackett has always been composed on the ball.Birmingham's fan think he was a donkey but forgot it's the same for their whole defensive line which is a total mess.Thorpe was struggled there as well.Since when did Tyler Blackett become so composed on the ball?

With Valencia in the 3-5-2 as a wing back, I think he does well defensively. But his attacking has gone to shambles. He cannot cross the ball. He just bangs it over and over and over into the defender in front of him. Not sure where he went wrong but I hope LVG can get him back into form because this setup suits his attributes (or at least the ones he used to show).Lingard already look better than Valencia as RWB.That's telling of how poor Tony is these days.
What did he say?Best we've played this pre season by far IMO. Wonder if there was any truth in the comments that Paddy said after the game.
Can't remember his exact words, but they was talking about Rooney being happy and Paddy said that Rooney has mentioned a player who we was supposedly signing. Then paddy started laughing and said he wasn't going to say which player it was.What did Paddy say after the game?
If we just add Strootman, we will be world beaters IMO.Seems like LVG has got these players playing for each other again, and there seems to be a good sense of harmony within the group.
Maybe we don't need too many players after all. I'd probably say we need two, maximum three more players. Any more and it could potentially disrupt the whole team spirit.
from the names mentioned..I hope we do get De Maria and Vidal...and a solid CB.Seems like LVG has got these players playing for each other again, and there seems to be a good sense of harmony within the group.

I also thought so. He put in some very very good crosses and did well defensively.Lingard already look better than Valencia as RWB.That's telling of how poor Tony is these days.
He can cross, that's good for a start. Plus he has a left leg, so it's a big adventage for him.Lingard already look better than Valencia as RWB.That's telling of how poor Tony is these days.
Think we need a top CB and a RWB, as well as a Strootman type CMIf we just add Strootman, we will be world beaters IMO.
We need to get rid of players though : Nani, and Anderson at least.
We definitely have a few to get rid of. Especially since we wont be in Europe next season. I guess we will throw it all at the FA cup and use League Cup as games for second string. Will be an interesting season for us.If we just add Strootman, we will be world beaters IMO.

Yeah I was thinking that too.Lingard already look better than Valencia as RWB.That's telling of how poor Tony is these days.
Will be good him and Mata fighting for the no10 spot.kagawa showed his class and ability. Shouldn't even think of selling him.
That would be the dream summer.from the names mentioned..I hope we do get De Maria and Vidal...and a solid CB.
We will win the title.
I have to disagree. Most of their squad were starting 11 players last year. They brought on Ronaldo towards the end of the game when they had already adamantly said he wasn't going to play today. Why would they risk further injury to their top player if they weren't trying hard.Solid game but let's not pretend as if Real was really trying that hard. On that third goal, Kagawa had more time and space than he'll ever have in a single BPL game and that was just on sequence. When Real turned it on, it showed that we still have flaws in our game.
Agreed. If that pass to Chich for the goal was from Pirlo, the world soccer press would be highlighting how amazing of a play maker he is. Incredible stuff.kagawa showed his class and ability. Shouldn't even think of selling him.
I'd not be too worried if we do not get a CB or a RWB this season. We will be playing fewer games and the team looks reasonable.Think we need a top CB and a RWB, as well as a Strootman type CM
Marketing reasons, you saw the crowd's reaction when he came on and the played in front of over 100.000 people. Also, just because they played their starters doesn't mean their starters played at their best and gave it their all, which they didn't.I have to disagree.

It is reasonable, but you did say worldbeaters!I'd not be too worried if we do not get a CB or a RWB this season. We will be playing fewer games and the team looks reasonable.
I think with our defenders injury records, we REQUIRE a few additional bodies able to fill in...I'd not be too worried if we do not get a CB or a RWB this season. We will be playing fewer games and the team looks reasonable.
Rafa can be top RWB when not injured.Think we need a top CB and a RWB, as well as a Strootman type CM
So just because most of their starters played means they gave it their all? Right.Yeah right. Real did not try hard by playing 90 minutes with just two players who were not in the squad for the Champions league final.
