Hideous game of football this.

Don’t want to get carried away as it’s only pre-season but we’ve been absolute filth. Negative shite. I don’t care if it’s a friendly, it’s liverpool. Have a bit of pride lads ffs.

We're playing with our reserve team bar Alexis, Bailly and Mata.

What are you on about ?
You think that Liverpools current side looks stronger on paper? Woodburn, Ojo, Phillips, Jones, Chirivella

We can’t even string two passes together.

We were pretty poor first half, criticism saved from the Pereira goal. To be fair Liverpool had a pretty much full side out. Second half we have been abysmal and Liverpool have bought on all there second string players too. Only a friendly after all but it still keeps me of the same opinion about our squad. We have 5 or 6 really good players (some of which are yet to perform) quite a few promisign youngsters who are not ready yet and about 12 really average under peforming or over rated players.
Been slated in many transfer threads with suggested ins and out but I still feel, beginning of this window we needed 6 or 7 signings and at least the same out.

We could do with two centre back signings, another central midfielder, a right winger and a striker that can put pressure on Lukaku to add to what we have. There is promise with the Dalot and Fred signings and the return of Periera but we are still so far short of what we need to compete in Europe and to win the league and the football we have been playing under Mourinho really isnt that much better than LVG, just includes a three better players in the side

Does Joel ever attempt a dive ? I have never been convinced by him, glad he is going out on loan as it would be worrying if we ever had to rely on him.

wtf you talking about?
Past three games the amount of American fans is far less than it was a few years ago. Remember the amount of fans at the madrid game? Seems that theres so many less fans wanting to watch our game but could be down to ticket prices.

Worrying thing is our defense is utter gash. I don't care what clean sheet ,golden glove stats will be inevitably pulled out in refutation- I've got my own bloody eyes. Liverpool have walked through us.
In fairness, it is preseason and id back Mourinho to be able to set up a strong tight unit in a meaningful game.

YOU are the one that is saying it's not worth watching. So why are you watching then? Do you think other people enjoy you moaning on a forum? So why expect a positive response?
Long time United fans can't suddenly click their fingers and stop watching because we play shit football. Watching United is a passion and a lifestyle. They are allowed to voice their frustration without being told to stop doing the thing that they have loved doing for years.

I don’t give a feck what you enjoy. Using your logic, if you don’t like my post, don’t respond to it. I’m saying it’s not worth watching it because the football is fecking shit. Always. Why am i watching? Because I’m a lifelong fan.
No that is not my logic. When someone posts something of no value it gets a negative response. You are effectively ranting like you are talking to a therapist. And from the looks of things that's what you think it is as well since you are doing something you don't enjoy just because you feel you have an obligation to.

Lack of depth in our squad more apparent than ever.

Was always going to be a tough task against a stronger much stronger Liverpool squad.

Mostly reserve players on both teams but this game has clearly established who the superior coach is....and yes it is just a friendly but f......me whatever side Jose puts out is just so painful to watch!
Darmian on the other hand is everything and more that has been wrong with the club in the last 5 years !

I agree expect no improvement in play quality from last season. This is modern United. Not pleasing to watch really.

Use every subs for once! Why are they not in Manchester if we can't use them?
Since your last post Gomes and Bohui have been subbed in. Greenwood and Garner have also featured twice this preseason. Are you actually watching this game on TV?

She broke my heart, So I broke her jaw.
As good as the back 3 were against Milan, they’ve been a disgrace today. Herrera has put in one of the worst midfield performances (with the preseason caveat) I can recall. Darmian has been playing 2 v 1 on the right side. Just woeful all around. Made the right call not to go.

First 2 pages were full of posts predicting us to lose. What has changed now ?

I'm fully expecting to see plenty games ending up in a similar manner this season. Hopefully we will avoid a Mourinho meltdown from happening but I wouldn't be surprised if it would happen.

Mate, sharing your views is what the forum is about. Sorry you don’t like my view, but maybe time to let it go. As for the therapist analogy...wtf are you talking about? Because I said it’s shit watching us? Yes, that’s what one goes to the therapist for. Christ on a bike.
