Not great from Mengi
QPR v Manchester United (Friendly) Saturday 24th July 2021 @ 3pm BST | 4-2 loss
- Thread starter Dante
- Start date
Atmosphere doesn't sound real.
Very very poor from Mengi
Wow that was horrifying. I haven’t seen CBs look that bad in a while. One player in the box neither CB anywhere near.
Mengi could have got tighter to his man. But that first-time cross would have caught out much more experienced defenders. I think it's a bit harsh to pile onto him for it.
The game is in London so of course it's real.
That's unfortunately the level of defending he was showing in the reserves last season
Our defending is comically pathetic sometimes, doesn't matter who are the personnel are.
Mengi looking amateur there
This actually is quite competitive .. doesnt feel like friendly
qpr are up for this
Feels like it's being played at 100mph.
Wondering if that report about 4-3-3 is accurate. Two friendlies in and both 4-2-3-1. Even without a full squad, you'd think if a system change was to be implemented they'd be practicing it in these games. Think we're continuing with the double pivot.
Our defenders were still making their way over to congratulate Lingard but the game had restarted
Greenwood's playing more like a false 9 in this game. Keeps coming deep to play passes, not all of them are weighted correctly but seems like something he's consciously trying to improve. 1st goal came from his pass also
QPR pretty much much playing a full strength team too.
It’s a joke
Great atmosphere.
What formation are we playing?
You'd have thought so, gives me the impression that it was rubbish too. Perhaps under consideration but for whatever reason declined?
Perriera has no idea about CM positioning unfortunately. Always chasing the ball. We really need to sell him this summer.
Why would we be changing to a 4-3-3? Bruno can only play as a #10 so I don't think there was ever any chance of us switching from 4-2-3-1 or at least a system that uses a CAM
I believed it about as much as their transfer stories.
I think the crowd is helping
Their season starts sooner than ours, so expected.
James 
Think we’re playing him in the hope he scores a banger and reminds people he still exists.

I assume they've replaced Snachez with Sancho in the lyrics

James just never knows what a cutback is. Always driving it towards the keeper. Very low IQ player.
The one on Netflix. I finished Hobbit trilogy last week so I want to I rewatch this while that is fresh in my mind.
Sums up his game in one move right there.James
James did well to get past the defender but then the attempted cross was terrible. Always the same problem with him.

Explains why he was so gash for us
He's playing like he knows he wont be here long. Just hope that's the case for everybody's sake
You can see our forwards are trying to make runs but the ball doesn't get to them.
Lazio were lukewarm on him. He’s probably looking at a championship level move at this point.
That’s what McFred get praised for.
Dan James pretty dreadful so far sadly
Also Heaton doing that annoying thing that De Gea does where he holds onto the ball for too long letting the opposition get back into shape
Pereira looks okay, Jesse up for it again too.

Bruno and Pogba are the only ones with the vision and capability to pull it off. Really hope we can bring someone else in.
