De Gea, who can't distribute the ball or be vocal on the pitch, has had a decent pre season distributing the ball and being vocal on the pitch.

Villa aren't playing football.

As soon we we win the ball they foul is and dont even attempt a tackle.

This ref needs to stop playing like cards dont exist
They know they won't get booked and it forces us to slowly build up again, normally by going back towards the swamp in our half.

We've regained control quite a bit now.

Missed the game, how have we done? Any standouts good or bad?
Sancho, Fred, Maguire and Rashford good in first half. The rain has ruined the game really and the pitch is awful

Makes you realize just how thin our squad is apart from the CB position. Most of these guys aren't close to good enough.

Donny was pretty terrible, Lindelof did horribly for the goal. Sancho, Martial and Rashford all looked quite decent in the first half. Zidane's caught the eye again, I think Chong and Garner have been lively too.

So first game of the season? :nervous:
