Manchester United vs Liverpool (Tue 12th July, 14:00 UK time) | BANGKOK CENTURY CUP CHAMPIONS

Hopefully it won't be like when Ole took over from Jose, players were out to prove it was Jose and not them, played great for a couple of months then total collapse.
 
May be. But I honestly think we also need to start thinking like ruthless winners and stop giving players endless "second" chances.
I think we are in no position but to give some players a second chance. We cannot go out and replace 16 players in one go. If we could, not many in that squad would be there.

ETH making Bruno gather the players' laundry after the game. Nice to see a return to old school discipline.
 
Varane thinking that some day he might be lucky enough to captain Manchester United.
 
After lifting the CL four times Varane can’t believe his luck to lift a trophy like that.
 
Only managed to half watch it in work but enjoyed some of what I saw. De Gea coming off the line, pressing, better attacking patterns... Defence still looked a bit ropey though and could have conceded a few. Nunez ballooning over the bar was great.

Don't think ETH will let up off this lot, no more excuses, pull your fingers out.
 
Only caught the first half but saw that some young guys got a runout in the second. Going to have to find the highlights so I can catch Iqubal and Amad. Shame that Hannibal didn't get any time.
 
This is preseason, everyone needs to do some extra work, not just the players! Get searching!

Haha fair enough, I did have a cheeky look online on the usual sources but no luck.

I’m sure they will pop up on here in due course.

Some players like Sancho come from teams with systems in place and succeeding. Going from whatever we've been doing since Mourinho left to a proper system will probably have a ton of players improving, hopefully
 
Just finished watching the match, really happy with the attitude and hard work we put in. There seemed to be a semblance of an organisation in the team and I liked how we tried to us the direct ball in behind occasionally.

Sancho looked mint as did Martial against a very inept Liverpool back line. 2nd half was more difficult but was impressed by Iqbal who played with a bit of panache against a tough midfield.
 
We were leaking goals because he can't defend well. And that is what is most important

yeah, that's why we were hardly scored upon whenever Maguire wasn't playing. :)

Come on, you must know it's not as simple as that.Our leaking goals similarly also involves the midfield's lack of defensive control as well as our collective structure out of posession. A goalie who's glued to his line doesn't help either. And individually most of our other defenders were as bad as he was, or worse.
 
The amount of crappy results we’ve had I’m celebrating this one. I don’t care if it’s a friendly or not. Bragging rights are in our court!
 
Preseason friendly or not - THIS FELT NICE.

Everybody looked improved, except for Rashford. He is still unable to find the back of the net 1:1 with a goalkeeper. What kind of forward is that? I don't know if EtH can still improve it, but if not - homeboy needs to go. We cannot just carry him as a club just because of his celebrity status and Instagram following. FFS, we need to play football and we need players who can.



Loved him! If EtH can fully develop him to top levels, we will have one amazing homegrown player!
He could be a Carrick type for us. Has a good passing range great engine , rarely loses the ball, and does get stuck in. Well at least he does for the under 23s
 
Thought the energy was there, as klopp highlighted utd have had a extra week of training than pool so they were not ready, and he didn't like the new man marking they used In CM as well. But it was a fair result. They hit the post 3 times I think he didn't mention that funny enough!.
We looked like a team looked coached better looked like players new there position and also the wernt afraid of passing it, in close possession they passed it very correctly that was a improvement you could see plainly from last season no matter what opposition players were on the pitch even with the 2 different 11s both played the same way all the squad have bought into a system already and that can only get better.
 
One swallow a summer does not make.....
however, a much better performance and result than I could have dreamt of.
I think ETH's reputation for playing those who fit his style and attitude combined with the fact that the club will back him will be a wake up call for many.
Hopefully an entertaining season awaits, possibly a tilt at a cup and a sustained and competitive effort at a top four finish. The usual suspects seem to have all shuffled their packs so it could be a humdinger of a season. City, Liverpool and Chelsea will it appears have lost key players, whilst still bringing in some big names, Spurs and Arsenal have strengthened whilst we've freed up some of the wage bill whilst not losing any major contributers and hopefully there will be a couple of major additions to come.
