That was tight.
Maybe you should lower them considering the context of the match. Playing well would have been nice, but it's about getting minutes under belts for the start of the season an getting as many players ready as possible.I was expecting us to have a few shots to be honest. I need to lower my expectations clearly.
You spelled Toby wrong.We'll obviously be in far better shape when Matic, Lukaku and Pogba return. I'd imagine we'll have Maguire signed up before Friday also. Those 4 will make a big difference.
The reality though is that we will still be pretty dull this season attacking wise. If Jose had given Ed the name of a right winger no more than 25 years old for the right wing then he'd have everyone he wants but for some reason keeps demanding crazy expensive 30 year wingers that he knows the club will not buy
Like it's only about this game. We're already out of the top 6 according to some of you maniacs.Bravo! We shouldn't criticize a shit performance because it's preseason. Makes sense.
It was pre-preseason, it doesn't mean anything.I don't understand the rationale of using preseason as an excuse for our poor football.
In probably our biggest game of the season last year against Sevilla, we played the same way.
I bet you this is how we will approach most big games this season too. It's just how Jose does things .
Match fitness tends to come from matches, yes.Footballers can only build fitness by playing?
Even Chong look pissed off, want more of balls.
Do you have any proof of this?We'll obviously be in far better shape when Matic, Lukaku and Pogba return. I'd imagine we'll have Maguire signed up before Friday also. Those 4 will make a big difference.

Specsavers having a sale on.The more I see, the more convinced I am that personnel is the least of this team's shortcomings.
I reckon most of the travelling supporters who've forked out to go to Munich will be less hysterical than in here.I feel most sorry for our travelling supporters.
With this current set of players a manager who can galvanise a team to play in a particular style with an intent to score goals could potentially challenge. The players need encouraging and support, Mourinho and his excuses does nothing for these players and you can see this in the way they perform for him.And you think it would be possible to catch City with this group of players with an attacking style? Give me a break.
We have Rashford and Alexis and can't even get one shot on targetWe're playing Bayern with a lot of our players unfit/missing. What kind of wild attacking were you expecting tonight?
I think personnel is clearly an issue but we are playing so much worse than the sum of parts, it's majorly on Mourinho.The more I see, the more convinced I am that personnel is the least of this team's shortcomings.
I suggest you study the Jose Mourinho Philosophy a little deeper.We're not intentionally playing poor football. We just have a number of players who are playing poor and as a result we can build nothing. That's not an instruction. Some of these people need to have a look at their performances and they need to improve
Mid table I read somewhere. These people get to vote .Like it's only about this game. We're already out of the top 6 according to some of you maniacs.
Oh ffs would you quit. We finished miles off City... you're making out like 2nd is some sort of achievement. I want to be in a title race and not get abandoned by Liverpool because they were concentrating on the CL.Amazing that? Finished 2nd playing wrongly spelled shite football.
So we shouldn't expect any shots on target when we have a few first team players missing? I'd suggest we need a radical overhaul of our squad if that's the caseWe're playing Bayern with a lot of our players unfit/missing. What kind of wild attacking were you expecting tonight?
Who said that? Feel free to quote. I'll wait.Mid table I read somewhere. These people get to vote .
They’re exactly the wrong players to be hitting long.We have Rashford and Alexis and can't even get one shot on target
I guess they must be suitably inebriatedI reckon most of the travelling supporters who've forked out to go to Munich will be less hysterical than in here.
Yeah he was brilliant in pre-season, worked wonders for us in real fixtures.Moyes' United would give these lot a run for their money.
I know, I did!You know what I meant
