Are the lads back in training yet?

What a convenient score

Ole and ref were just waiting for the trailing team to equalize then end the game

Also glad all of Rashford, Bruno, Pogba and Martial are already in scoring mood. I'm expecting loads of goals from them when the season resumes.

Olé’s being cheeky. Clearly Rashford & Pogba have shown great chemistry. Bruno & Martial struck up quite a partnership before the season came to a halt.

Here’s one...who’s the stronger paring?

Rashford + Pogba

Or

Martial + Bruno

Bruno should get the more advanced spot. But it’s a shame as Pogba is a monster in the final 3rd. A good problem to have I suppose. Down to Olé to make it work.

Difficult question, i can't answer that.

Any videos of the friendly?

The YouTube channel could at least post the goals.

I bet they won't get posted. Chelsea didn't even release the score of their "Chelsea v Chelsea" friendly today. All well and good scoring loads but not so nice for the defenders!

But Tottenham did release theirs. I think small clips/highlights could be released tomorrow or Monday

 

[Maagge]

It's hard to tell who starts and who doesn't. Actual football form went out the window months ago so I think it's basically about who's fitter currently.
So McT starts.

I hope we get some footage

Try to piece together the two sides

Red: Williams, TFM, Pogba, Matic, Jesse, Rashford, Greenwood,

Gold: Shaw, AWB, Fred, McT, Bruno, James, Martial,

According to a reddit user:


Home:

Matic Rashford Brandon Lingard Ighalo Pogba Dalot Gomes Tahith Greenwood Maguire TFM

Away:

AWB Shaw Fred Mcsauce Mata Bruno James Martial Pereira Tuanzebe

Centre backs looking in short supply there.

Maguire and TFM on home and it’s assumed Lindelof is with Axel for away.

Don’t think there has been any sightings of Bailly or Jones. So who knows with either of them.

 

[Adam-Utd]

United didn't either, ours just got leaked. They don't usually announce these sort of things when it's deemed a training friendly.

 

[Raw]

No wonder so many goals were scored, those defences are odd.

That away side only has 3 defenders in the line up

Also where is Lindelolf ?

Doesn't matter:

You've got both Pogba and Bruno on the side of midfield they like to drift to. You've got Pogba on Rashford's side of the pitch and Bruno right behind Martial - see the partnerships you've drawn attention to above.

Yes, it's a lot of work for Matic (being old) or Fred/McT (not being strictly defensive midfielders) but it's not as if Pogba and Bruno aren't capable of doing a fair bit of defensive work in front too. And we have two superb defensive fullbacks who can step in and make defensive contributions in midfield too if needed.

Either there was some mesmerising attacking play or awful defending on show

Yeah I literally can't wait to see how it plays out. Add in Sancho on that right flank, with James, Ighalo, McTominay and Fred as replacements and we're laughing.

And you forgot Greenwood too

The best 18 year old striker in the world. Yeah, nobody is better than him at that age.

Was going to say Haaland, but he's 19

I'm actually surprised that Greenwood didn't score.

Rashford + Pogba. When everyone is fit and at their best, I don't think it's even close. But I do think you can fit all 4 into one team; Bruno's workrate means I feel you can afford to play Pogba alongside him.

And Bailly

 

[Fortitude]

Pogba played he full game?

 

[SteveW]

The gold team seems like the regular starters. I'm pretty sure of it.

Mata, Periera and Axel are hardly starters. They just picked two teams to have a game. That's all.

 

[Leftback99]

Are Jones and Bailly injured already?

 

[Freak]

Where the feck is Bailly now?

Luke Shaw should go into politics

 

[Brightonian]

I think it's kind of brilliant how football starved we all are. The desperation for some footage of a routine training match. The conspiracy to conceal the identity of the goalscorers. The brave fullback who spoke out then was silenced. The heroic hunt for the truth, for the precious footage that will blow this case wide open... Spotlight 2, in cinemas June 2021.

 

[Santoryo]

So you mean to tell me someone was sad enough to make up the goalscorers

I saw DONG rather than CHONG and for a brief moment I was in 2004 again.
