Going a bit overboard on the Januzaj stuff. Plenty of his passing has come off. He gets the assist for the OG, for starters, with a perfect ball aiming to taking advantage of that weakness in the air which the keeper had revealed.

Nightmare might have been harsh, although I said A BIT after he played 2 or 3 misplaced passes in a row. But I agree he had his good moments as well. And he got involved in the game which is good to see. Jesse went a bit invisible after his goal

I'm a big fan of his but in all honesty he was poor in that half.
Yup. I think he will become a great player but everyone has off days, especially young players. He'll have plenty more of these type of games in the next few years but the important thing is he doesn't get too discouraged and keeps going.

Fair enough. For some reason he and Jesse aren't quite on the same wavelength today, which is very unusual. I think that's what's hurting them more than actual individual problems.

They're much fitter then us which is understandable given they're in the middle of their season and were just 2 games into our pre season.

They are also Japanese, who are notorious for being extremely fit. I mean their life expectancy is like 83/84/85. That left back who the commentators keep stressing that he's 39 - is basically in his early 30's.

Well they are still young and all and those japanese are taking this very seriously. Rushing and pressing us. Good to see as they keep our guys on their toes. Anderson looks unfit I thought. He didnt play badly or so but he really looks to have a bit too much weight on his ribs....again

Well we saw more Lindegaard in that first half than De Gea really. Another goal should kill it.

It'll do wonders for their development to have come through a fierce challenge like that and managed to end up on top.

I'm not watching the game, but the reactions on here seem a bit overboard. It's only pre-season ffs.

Fair enough to bring RVP off, he's been fairly poor and isn't putting in the sort of work rate that we need to keep Yokohama as on their toes as they're keeping us.

Probably from all the ribs he's been scoffing down.
