Imagine if Elanga and Hugill had finishes these huge chances. Instead QPR showed high effiency and went up to 4-1 quick. Only really bad performances has been from Pereira and Williams. Not surprised about Pereira, but sad to see that Williams look miles off the player two seasons ago.
QPR v Manchester United (Friendly) Saturday 24th July 2021 @ 3pm BST | 4-2 loss
- Thread starter Dante
- Start date
Still coming back from injury.
Don’t get why people are crying, the team won’t even look like this against Everton in a couple of weeks, we’ll have the first team back for Leeds.
Who? Wormwood Scrubs.
Better to moan and be miserable even though not more than two of these players will start for us once the season is underway...
Not sure why you'd analyse performances based on score, when individually the 2nd string players played pants. Don't really care who came on for who and at what score and how many were youth.
I expect a lot better from the senior players/2nd string players.
I really like the look of Garner and is it Levitt with him in midfield? Moved the ball much better since they came on.
I'll return the favour in 2 years time when he's playing in championship/l1
I played under the shadow of that place....don't knock it. Good times playing school footie
If Maguire had played today - we would have won the game - I am actually pretty certain of it.
Unlucky.
Bernard has been solid since coming on too.
QPR have been the better side.
So a Championship-player is wank according to you ?
That there is the difference between Hannibal and Shoretire and Amad. Both of them make that pass.
Enjoyed seeing Hannibal and Shoretire, they had good cameos.
You are a good giffer, stick to giffing
Would have expected better from Hannibal there.
Elanga has been sensational.

You'll get an opportunity then, next month
Shoretire and Hannibal are the only one i expect from this lot to make it.
Well done from our young lads.
Yeh that's partly my point. Getting rid of deadwood actually has nothing to do with Ole whether it's successful or not.
Our club is just abysmal at setting values for our own players, giving contracts out like candy that are typically double or triple their market value, from De Gea all the way down to players like Williams and Tuanzebe.
Very enjoyable second half.
Not Elanga?
Wan-Bissaka disappointed me a bit, poor defensively today and another example of bad far post defending.
Good game, got some good minutes under the belt for the reserve squad. Bad result, and hopefully can use it to teach and grow from there.
can't wait
Thought Elanga, Hannibal, Shoretire and Garner looked quite decent when they came on.
Sensational would have seen him burying the 1 on , and finishing the other opportunity. He's raw but has abiity.
Think that was a terrific workout for the lads to be honest.
Young players got a timely reminder that seasoned pros are not to be taken lightly

Will there ever be a time where fans don’t freak out and overanalyse preseason matches?
I know Elanga missed a couple of clear cut chances today, but I really like the look of him.
Can't put him on ignore, can ya?
Dont think he will make at United.
Doom has already set in because our youth team lost to a full strength Championship team.
Must be fun at parties
I’ve always liked and enjoy watching the u23s
They move the ball quickly and create a lot of chances
I have high hopes for Elangq,Shola and Hanibel
Hope they make it here

Was Elanga playing LB for the last 10? He was superb, except for his finishing. Really has to score at least one of the two golden chances.
Perreira, Mengi and Williams were a bit diabolical. Given how 'experienced' the two senior players are, that's so disappointing.
Highlight for me is that we saw no drop in performance taking off Matic for Garner. I genuinely want that to be a permanent switch, Matic for me has been coasting for 24 months and offers virtually nothing except a mirage of a defensive shield.

I love his gifsCan't put him on ignore, can ya?
As I said last game these are just fitness games and a dozen of these players at least wont see any first team action when the season starts. Elanga looks decent though.
