I guess now everybody sees a reason for handing Fellani a Two year contract.

Right lads, keep this to 1-0 (2-0 at most) and you'll get a pat on the back from Papa J.

Don't know why Mourinho insists on playing a low defensive line

We can't play possession football

We can't play counter attacking football

What is it that we can do again?
Nothing - i just turned off the tv. I can't be bothered to waste 30 minutes more watching us try to defend without being bothered to attack.

What is the point ? What is it we are trying to do ?

It's bad, but I was almost hoping Bayern would score to see if we will actually try attacking, but then I remembered that there's no way Jose cares about the result here, so yeah, great.

Let's see if our attacking intent changes now we're down.

We have not mounted one meaningful attack on their defence. Never mind box or goal. We haven't troubled their defence.

Terrible

It’s pre season so can’t we at least try attack. Same dreadful negative trash as last season

He doesn't play anyone in. As soon as he gets the ball he's trying some elaborate dribble.
He loses it every time and it comes straight back, how can a midfield push up with that in front of them?
Absolutely, he's no centre forward in the traditional sense as he can't hold it up and bring teammates into play for love nor money, but he's losing it without fail trying take-ons too. It's not easy when you're barely getting a kick but nothing's come off for him at all tonight.

Defenders undone by a set piece, eurgh.

Survive, like a midtable side. We need to spend another 1 billion before thinking about making 6 passes

Liverpool fans going into the new season with optimism while ours is the complete opposite. WTF has happened.

We have too many poor and mediocre players in our line up to play decent football. We really need to learn how to replace non performing players in due time rather than stick with them because they have nice personalities off the pitch.

Not sure how you can be stood still while a ball is coming from as far away as a corner and have it go just over your head (Rashford). Surely if you're on your toes you can move enough to get to that? Can't blame him too much as he's not a defender, but still.
