Shame it's only our former player that's doing what he's paid forTo be fair he's being paid to talk.
Boom!

You're thinking too much about it.I think he's trying to fool Real Madrid, actually. If it was Lingard instead of Martial, he wouldn't have changed it. And if he really wanted to try a different formation, like he did in the other games, he would have changed at half-time.
Matic was the best player in the first half.Other than Darmian and Mkhitaryan not much to take away from this.
Perhaps this season it will be, it wasn't in Chelsea nor at the beginning of our last season. Hope not, to be honest. Much prefer this 3-5-2 experience.Isn't that his preferred lineup?
Lukaku is a wrong purchase?Do we really look like a team that's going to challenge for the title? I am starting to believe that we have made the wrong player purchases, except Matic who looks like a decent buy.
Last year should've been his last year. If he starts premier league games, he'll be a liability.Honestly that should be Carrick's last season in the club. Sorry but he has nothing more to offer on the pitch.
Agreed. We should just pack it all in and watch the cricket. No point in this season.Do we really look like a team that's going to challenge for the title? I am starting to believe that we have made the wrong player purchases, except Matic who looks like a decent buy.
Yep because in the league we won't change the whole midfield during the game.Do we really look like a team that's going to challenge for the title? I am starting to believe that we have made the wrong player purchases, except Matic who looks like a decent buy.
It's not who we bought it's who we had!Do we really look like a team that's going to challenge for the title? I am starting to believe that we have made the wrong player purchases, except Matic who looks like a decent buy.
Oh so he didn't fall down while trying to clear the ball resulting in him not getting a proper touch on the ball which made his clearance fall right to an opposing player?You're clueless.
Just find it odd that we will do it one game before the season starts. Matic has to start if he can.Let's not forget we're playing two mixed teams in either half.
Next week against Madrid we'll be starting our sole best 11 players. Expect players from team A and B to complete the final line up. There's not one match in preseason thus far where we've done that.
Of course whether that's enough to beat Madrid is another matter.
Been saying this for a while. He was nowhere near his effective self for the most part last season, I was surprised he was extended and given the armband.Last year should've been his last year. If he starts premier league games, he'll be a liability.
You mean number Turdy SexAlex Tunazbee - when the feck did we sign him?
He's clearly got pace and power but I guess the question is whether he offers enough craft to deal with all the teams that will sit back and wait for us to break them down.Lukaku is a wrong purchase?
Since Valencia didn't play last game, he should have more minutes.No Timfosu Mgnsah today?
Aside from Matic theres no noticeable upgrade.Do we really look like a team that's going to challenge for the title? I am starting to believe that we have made the wrong player purchases, except Matic who looks like a decent buy.
I think he changed the system because we weren't pressing well enough high up with Mata instead of Mkhi.Yeah but he isn't changing the system to put him in. Just trying different formations. We played 3 different ones last season.
What was Fergie's system?One of the many, many things you've gotta give Fergie is that the personnel mattered far less than the system.
