The negativity in here is silly. We don't look amazing, but Milan are a decent team and it's an even game... in a preseason friendly. If you're going to take the negatives from this game then you have to consider positives from our other preseason games too. Just try to enjoy it ffs
It’s been an awful performance. Nothing to enjoy with that.

If you think that’s going to be good enough in the league you’ve got a big surprise coming.

We're getting dominated by an undercooked non-top 4 Italian team with 2 Liverpool rejects.
They have had maybe 1 attack in the second half and a deflected goal, i do question why some of you even follow the team constant negativity its embarrassing.

Somebody said in the Bruno Fernandes thread that Andreas Pereira can equally do all the same things :D

If we are not better than Milan we cannot get top 4. It's not an even game. We are not in the game.

Hopefully this game is a good lesson for Ole that he can't persist with some of these players. Should play the youth instead if it came to that.

Game that exposes once again where we lack in terms of progress...midfield, midfield and midfield.
Matic-McTominay-Andreas are a combination from my worst nightmares

Mata and Matic makes Inzammaam al Haq look like Usain Bolt.

Seeing Fred, Young and Lingard strolling off the bench isn't exactly inspiring stuff :lol:

What does Mata bring to the table these days apart from being a nice lad?

After watching this midfield is anyone else still convinced we were right not to give herrera a contract?

We look toothless in attack yet Mata is still on the pitch and Greenwood's warming up the bench. Should I give up before we even start the season?

Agreed that we've done well so far.

But would you agree we've done poorly so far today? If so would you agree it's a lot down to the team? If so why are we playing this team? What's the point?
Yes it's been a shit performance of course, but it's pre season, it doesn't matter. That's why we're playing this team. The point is to get the individual players more minutes for fitness. Nobody actually cares about the result in a pre season friendly, and while you would want to play well, it's more important getting the players up to speed in terms of fitness.

Was really hoping to see more of Greenwood on the right but it looks like he'll be cast back down to the u23's after this.

Ahhhh no Gomes. Nightmare. Surprised he didn’t start and expected him to fully be part of the the first raft of subs...Guess he ain’t playing much this season much to my (and a great many others) annoyance

Look at the scoreline now.
Doesn't really change my point. First time we've gone behind in the whole of preseason, and that apparently means we are absolute shit. If we're going to say that preseason results and performances mean something significant, well, we beat Spurs, whose last competitive game was the Champions League final. And the game isn't over, it's still fairly even.

Those subs prove the youth we were all purring over the past few weeks won't be getting a sniff when season starts.
