Way too many useless forward punts.
Rooney and Mata aren't seeing enough of the ball. Link up play and midfield need to improve.

Nick Powell SPotted.
James Wilson suited with the squad as well.

Rooney is playing in wrong position.
Oh look the summer sales have started
Anderson sighting.
herrera is getting close...
The players don't seem to be making themselves available through the middle. Most of the time you can see that the player on the ball doesn't have much of an option to play it that way
Blackett has to be the biggest revelation for us this pre-season.I feel so relieved watching this guy, considering our defensive situation.
Giggs starting to write instead of LvG
Looks lik hoofball to me. All those long balls to Young on the right by Rooney are ugly
We are missing Welbeck's dynamism up front.
I seriously hope you're being sarcastic
I love his nonsense, he complains about everything.Herrera has been excellent so far.
Playing through the middle is obviously still nosebleed zone to some players.
Hernandez has contributed feck all to the build up play.
This friendly is too close to the season opener, it's showing in the performance.
That's a match day thread for you.
I hate all these comparisons to last season but i fear it will not end until we do something of note/play consistently enough
Is it OT? Are they nervous or something?
Yawn
You guys all need to chill, Valencia are sitting very deep, we aren't going to cut through them easily FFS.
Confusion between Blackett and Herrera.
We lack his pace and link up play up front alright.
Not really sure what all the negativity is about. We've kept the ball well, shown a good shape on and off the ball and limited them to counter attacks.
I think a few posters on here think/expect that we will win 4 or 5 nil every time we play.

Smalling has been great. Lacking somewhat upfront; Hernandez offers very little.
Precisely the type of game I'd bring Fellaini on in the later stages. Plan A isn't working, they've got too many men back and we're just playing in their half around their box without doing much. Bring Kagawa on wont fix that.
I noticed that is going to take longest to break the habit. We are passing well, but we are not moving into good positions at all.
People gotta remember this is still technically a friendly (no-one told Herrera tho) don't understand the moanin' myself!
The difference between Hernandez and Welbeck or Van Persie in this regard is stunning. We seem to have lost our passing momentum since Welbeck injury. Herrera and fletcher also needs to find mata more often and make more forward runs.
We look so susceptible to a counter attack.
Hernandez has been invisible so far.
Agreed, we look a bit toothless with Hernandez up front tbh.
It's why LvG is going to let him go. He does not fit the team LvG wants to create.
Would be grateful if someone could PM me a decent quality river. Really struggling to find one
Yep exactly.
Not many positives to take from this thus far.
The stadium's quietude is pissing me off! It's disgusting... Where are the songs?
If this is Chicharito's last home game then he's not really offering much to remember him by so far.
Well, it seems that Blackett's leading most of the attacks right now. He understands how to start the attack from the back.
Nice run from Blacklett.
Our middle is softer than that of a jammie dodger.
