Mark Sullivan clarifying that the boos were from Palace fans so everyone can chill now.

MUTV actually have it as FT in the right hand bottom corner. :lol: Amateur stuff.
It’s because they’ve seen enough and think this game is done.

I have to say the commentary on mutv is shockingly bad.

Christ, the compression shirts under the s/s kit make it look horrendous. Compression shirts should be outlawed.

The improvement in our general play has been significant, and that's without any new signings apart from Malacia playing. Encouraging.

Just seen our goal - that’s exactly the sort of goal we haven’t been scoring in recent years and why we drop points to the lower sides. We can’t move the ball from side to side and break down teams that sit deep. We made that look simple.

Watching the TV or is it watching me
Find it strange how everyone but ole prefers dalot… Solskjær was always talking about attacking football yet he was the one that used the most defensive full back.
I dont know if it was defending structure or what but our main issued under Ole was defending and was up until he was sacked imo.

Dalot is doing well here yes but it is pre-season he'll need a very solid 6-10 game run in the PL to convince me he has what it takes to be a regular starter because i have my reservations on him defensively.

Dig up stupid!
It's so encouraging to see so many bodies in the box
There's been times over the last few years where literally no one would dare enter the area - now we regularly have 4+ bodies in there

I don't know how successful we'll be but I foresee lots of goals this year

Frenkie would be the same.

Frenkie is one of my favourite players but some have the wrong idea about him. His passing isn't a big strength of his. It's quite limited. What he brings is press resistance. He will not lose the ball under pressure which brings a whole new level of calm and composure to the team, which we're in dire need of.

He will annoy a lot of people. He takes a lot of touches before passing, turning when he feels there are no quick short passing options. I love it, though.
Some of your opinion is outright weird. Maguire similar type to Blind, then Martinez for example

FdJ can make those cross field pass just fine. He's not tunnel vision dribbler either. What not special is his the lack of creative pass on final third. He's touch greedy, but doesn't mean he wouldn't make progressive pass when it's available.

Where’s all the martial haters who wanted him gone?! Credit to everyone who says and knows he deserves a chance under ten Hag.
I mean, I will hold my hands up and eat a concrete mixer of humble pie, but temper the fact this is pre-season and he has flaked many times previously.

Martial needs to wear GPS tracking? EtH taking no prisoner.
