Happy about:

Lingard's decision making
W-B beast mode
Our defense in general
Transition play

Worrying:

Rashford's decision making
James aside from his whippet-like pace
Martial seems unable to beat players/losing the ball where he shouldn't be

Rashford winds me up on the left. Constantly looking to shoot, doesn't play the pass at the right time and isn't interested in finding the striker. Should either play up front or not at all. Hopefully ole sees that before the season starts.

Rashford pissing around a bit too much. Just pass it wide, make the run and drive it across. Will work out eventually, no need to do the little flicks over the back 4.

Pogba and Wan-Bissaka have been on another level to the rest so far.

James definitely looks more effective from the left, worringly.

I'd argue we need to replace Matic over Smalling/Jones for this season.
We don't need to replace Matic, we need cover for him. Fergie always used to protect players going on 30 and protect them/ allow their bodies to play at a high intensity with weeks preparation for every single game.

World class players don't stop being world class players when they reach 30. Even Giggs/ Scholes used to play half our matches in the early 30s. Here Matic plays whenever available, it s time for both him and Sanchez to become squad players never playing 2 games in a row. I think we d get a lot more out of both

Our defense this half has been amazing. Lindelof is a leader.

Everything about this half minus finishing has been top class

I think Lingard’s best quality is driving with the ball rather than creating space as some would say.

We certainly need reinforcements that's for sure. If we only improve our defence this season it'll be incompetence

Yep he has a good turn of pace which makes you wonder why he can’t take anybody on out wide

I can't remember why I joined this war.
Imagine the Caf when someone finally gets past AWB :eek:
- Oh my god why do we always get the duds?
- Not PL ready yet.
- Needs to bulk up. Gets pushed off the ball to easily.
- What are our scouts doing?
- Of course we spent 55M on him, he is trash.

I would say pick one but there are chances you will read all of them as soon as he has his first bad game. :p

Inter look awful.. I'm assuming its their first pre season game and they are a long way from being ready..

It's been a really impressive first half team performance. Alright we've not scored despite being on top but the change in our play has been refreshing.

Lots of bashing for midfield but Matic-Pogba are looking good
I still feel once they get behind Matic he can’t recover, but he’s been decent on the ball today at least.

Having Lingard as the link between midfield and attack kills it for me, not exactly new information though.
