Swear we lose every behind closed doors friendly
to get the most out of it, as with any behind closed doors friendlies, it’s very important to simulate matchdays as closely as possible. glad to see the boys took that seriously.

Not surprising after watching this training footage.
What is the Springboards use. When are players ever needing to pass like that in a match. Idiotic

get off their backs. they tried to do quick passing between themselves but none of the players could work out quite how hard they needed to kick it and the ball hit bruno’s shin once and that really hurt.

I can see why we get outplayed by every single opponent now.

What's even worse is how fecking shit they are at it
They're a fecking embarrassment. I'd love Keane and Scholes to be unleashed on these clowns.

Says it all about ten Hags regime also. He hasn't a fecking clue.

Quite possibly the single most useless article I have ever read.

They don't know the score, or who played, or even if the game actually happened

Well done. You scored a goal against Tomasz Kuszczak.

Considering it’s the express, they probably just simmed Burnley vs United’s youth players on FC24

The springboard obviously isn't for passing.

It'll have been two halves of different players. Probably some young players involved, possibly some new roles or approach that they want to try out, and to keep up match fitness during the break etc. It really, really doesn't matter if we lost 5-0 or won 5-0.

"It's the second occasion United have tasted defeat against Vincent Kompany's
side behind closed doors in six months"

Whoever wrote that failed to mention they didn't beat or score against United in the one match that mattered this season.

The mere fact that our club thought this "happy go lucky" video was a good idea just shows how f*cked we are, and how withdrawn the club and players are from the fans. We are not in good times. Training should look like a military exercise and the players should be under very strict rules with the way they are performing. This is embarrassing...

BCD friendlies are pretty meaningless as far as results go. This was surely about match fitness and getting the players returning from injury involved more than anything else.

Whatever the truth this, we're hardly going to go all out in a friendly game against Burnley just days before a competitive match.

They even cover themselves with the games outcome by saying it is according to some Norwegian guys reports.

Are we even sure we lost?
