Agreed. Not really sure why we need a practice run anyway - surely pre-season should be about preparing for how we're going to play throughout the season, not as a dry run for a forthcoming exhibition match.
2017 Pre Season | Sampdoria vs Manchester United
- Thread starter Invictus
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Lindelof is good, but the opponent isn't trying to attack much anyway.
And Pogba fantastic
Spent the first 35 min losing the ball or fouling everyone.Not sure what's happening with Blind. Too much sun?
All I've seen is him dribbling into trouble and losing the ball.
Nearly scored an own goal, passing no better than Smalling and slow to react, abysmal? yes
Don't WUM here.
Correction mate, The Spider Beast they call him.
Really, where's that from? I never thought he'd come out second half as he's had no pre-season games before this.
Yeah. I'm not sure you watched the same game. Despite nearly scoring an own goal.
If it was Fellaini out there putting in the display Pogba has, there'd be pitchforks out.And Pogba fantastic
Sorry.
Pogba and Andreas have been bloody rubbish and yet we've still somehow dominated the midfield.
Wow didn't realize many others were going at it because of this...Please don't
I'm still curious what the call would have been, apologies.
Lots of changes.
It was a shit joke him being old and all. Won't do it again.
Well, if he always wins the league in his second season, we won't need to buy anyone. In fact, we could just release everyone and reduce the wage bill. The third season would be a bitch though
I'm watching a different game to you then
So who's exactly been driving us forward? Lindelof?And Pogba fantastic
Really abysmal? I think Lindelöf and Smalling both been fine, but not had very much to do. Don't think this game show that Lindelöf will be great, but he has not done much wrong in my view. Can't see how anyone can see it as abysmal. Too much black and white view I guess. Since he hasn't been amazing he must be abysmal in your view? When in reality he has been like a 5-6/10
That if you considered he was parking the bus in every game with his previous teams which isn't true. Mourinho is pragmatic rather than a defensive and pragmatism doesn't equal defense. He'll just do whatever the feck needed to get the result by either attack or defense. He's never sticking to certain play style and when it's outsmarted stood here waiting for his team to get crushed. He'll always take any step to make his team win or at least not lose whatever that means.
Herrera/Carrick/Fellaini now in along with Mata.
Entire midfield changed
The near own goal resulted because he was blocked off by Smalling and their striker so he didn't see the ball until the last second. He's made a handful of great tackles, and is passing the ball well.
What game are you watching and/or how badly do you want Lindelof to fail?
It's literally been the wingbacks only.
I like the folks of Dublin, playing Bruno Mars! :P
True, but you can see the qualities he brings to our midfield.
How many changes? My streams is still on ads.
Periera been a passenger 1st half, I'd like to see Mata in there and get a bit more creativity.
Wait what?! Story about Darko Milicic, what Oo
Whats the team now?
No worries, wasn't meant as anything other than a laugh.
Well, first qoute gives you answer why.
Darmian, Mhiki, Valencia and Lukaku to some extent.
Am I the only one that perceive Blind playing well?
Other than that one funny mistake, he played around at the back (integral in the first half system we're using), good long passes, defended well, delivered a good cross, and intercepted passes. Combined well with Darmian bossing the left side.

Mata/Herrera/Carrick/Fellaini on for Pogba/Pereira/Mhki and Matic.
Thank you people.
