We're ridiculously bad at the moment. 
I was hoping he was sent away for a couple of water bottles and a extra goal net while no one was looking.
New season about to start and once again nothing but poison in the match day thread.
It's a bloody friendly ffs. Nothing to get excited about whether it's good or bad

I thought Rojo was one of our better players and that says a lot about how the others were apart from Wan Bissaka.
On the rumoured 350k pw for 5 years? Yes, we were absolutely right
This season is going to suck balls isn’t it
Ole, bring the youth on!
And we've still got players to come in.
We knew it though right. And this will get Ole the sack, trusting this s*ite and not playing the youth. Matic, Lingard, Mata, Rojo, Young. Fecking dreadful
It's funny looking at all the complaints about Mata. So far Martial has looked equally bad or worse and there's hardly much said about him.
I still think the issue is up top. We make 0 runs, movement is not there, Rashford gets the ball and just keeps it, Mata is lost, etc.
We talk about creativity in midfield but we have no proven attacker. Look at those forwards and try to ask yourself, who's gonna score 20 goals this season?
beautiful ball from ddg to rashford there. rash loses it right away.
Erm yes. He's the 'ball playing centre back' that puts De Gea under pressure and then makes a pathetic attempt at blocking the shot.
I like that James never applauds shit passes to him, like players often do. As if to say "nice thought" when the execution is shit.
Not at the 300k he wanted. Herrera really wasn’t very good. Tenacious, but he’d have games where the whole caf were up in arms against him.
I don't see a lack of effort with United. They're clearly trying their best( players want to be in the line up for Chelsea remember) its just that they're a bit shit.
Let's revisit this next Sunday after the Chelsea game.
Gomes has barely played as the pre-season has gone on, so what made you think he'd be in with a chance?
All the guys going in on Lindelof. Forget it people's Smalling ain't happening.
Forget it people's Smalling ain't happening.This is another example of projecting blame on people watching the match, not those in control of the events on the pitch (and around the club).
If we play like this against Chelsea, I have to wonder what you people will come up with then but I'm sure there's already a ready-made excuse.

De Gea was under no pressure and could have hit it long. Lindelöf was being pressured and gave a pass to De Gea who had a clear out, but chose Matic who fecked it up.
Need to get some of the kids on.
dont know what game you are watching. Martial has been pretty good when he is leading the line. PLaying one twos and backheels to open players who aren't expecting it or arent making the run they should be.
Quote of the year.
It is only preseason but it still makes me sad to watch this. They looked a class above
This is a myth - there was an interview with Herrera where he said that United gave him a decent offer - but it came too late. He had already decided to leave.
At least keep the possession try to play with the ball. We are hardly touching the ball
I much prefer Fred and Lingard because at least they fit the fast press system we are trying to play. When two of your players can’t press, it let’s the whole team down.
The results don't matter. The performances don't matter either for well established teams. For teams with new managers looking to establish their style of play I think performances are very important. If you don't see all the work and training bear fruits on the pitch, then how do the players trust the manager?
Now we have done well so far this preseason. But for me this first half was self inflicted by that team selection.
Great finish from Jesse.
Lovely finish by Lingard!
Surprise surprise get the slow coaches off and we look better again.
Nice goal by Jesse. More of that please!

I knew James would go outside. So predictable, yet still so effective
Second rate. We’re being outplayed by a team that is 2 weeks behind us in preparation. We can’t keep the ball to even begin an attack. No way we’re finishing top 4 next season. Two losses to Chelsea and Wolves to end our season nice and early again
2-2
Lingard equalises
Beans, beanz, beanz, beanz!!!!

Mint pass from Martial
that's how easily it can be done when someone simply looks up and passes the ball to a player in space....
