Just tuned in 20 mins ago and we look pretty shite. Just kept shape and trying to contain Milan it looks.

You get Gomez in this side or eve Dalot on the right and play Pereira where Mata is and we would look better.

Are we actually worse than Milan? :houllier:
Having watched probably 15 Milan games last season...I wouldn't feel confident saying we are better. Paqueta Kessie Caldara are all quality young players in addition to Piatek and Romagnoli, they have potential to be real quality if they are coached well.

Guys. Have we improved? I dont see it. We are missing a CM to put his foot on the ball and control the tempo. We are missing a number 10 to create and we have no RW

I hate how this team is always unable to play out from the back. Every attempt just fizzles because one player ends up thinking for too long or placing a wrong pass. It is probably a result of amassing attacking players and midfielders with pace and/or skill but little football IQ. In certain matches, Shaw looks somewhat comfortable while playing out the back but that is pretty much it. Sincerely hope this team gets further revamped to bring in players who are smart on the ball. This team is crying out for clever footballers.

Seems like we are playing on the counter. We are just letting them dominate position
Not sure we're letting them, they're just looking a lot better at holding onto it than us, we don't have the technical prowess or composure to resist their press at the moment.

We need to play with a way higher line if we want to bring the press to every game. We're leaving too much room for our players to cover.
Milan is dominating play, its so hard to press playing this deep. Where is the playing on the front we have been promised?

Weird observation, but Ole seems to have gotten much more handsome over the summer.

Milan is not giving us chance to practice. This is turning out to be their practice game.

Our attack can't click at all, can't string two passes. It's worrying the season going to start soon. We need Dybala, Bruno and Pogba!

Suso is quality. Our midfield is so slow. Matic and Mata can't play in the same side, we can't carry two players.

Pre season friendly of course, but i’ve watched all our other games and this is the first one where we’ve really fallen back on some old habits. Completely relinquishing possession to the opposition and lack any sort of cohesion up front when we get it back.

Also, we look really fecking knackered!

What does Ole see in Matic to warrant so much playing time ? It boggles the mind.

Lindelof's handling of aerial balls is as tragic as ever.

Dead game. Dead atmosphere.

Rashford & Martial look isolated. Where are Mata & Andreas? Would much rather see Chong on the wing this season.

That co-commentator sounds like he's got a match on tinder but he's not sure, but he knows it's his only chance of action.

This midfield should never ever play together.

Matic pereira mata are far too to be the spine of a team.

Matic in particular is having another absolute stinker. He looks so far off the pace it’s worrying.

We need a right winger, desperately. Our attack is so lop-sided. On that counter, there should have been three players near AC Milan's box, but because we have no right-winger, we only have two. Think we are going to suffer if we don't play a proper right-winger.
