Few take away's from that game. First off, I don't think we expected to win, but the fact is the dominated more after they made the changes. Something which is bugging me about this pre season is the simple fact that we haven't tried to attack a side and we don't seem to make many changes. So many of these young lads have hardly had any minutes. I'd rather lose 4-1 seeing Gomes and Chong play 45 minutes or more than 15.
Obviously the team will be much different come the first game of the season, but I'd like to see us try things in pre season. Seems like the matches are just being viewed as a training session.
{Ed025's Note - it means nothing caolan, these games are to get players up to speed mate and the result is irrelevant..

Result doesn’t matter to me Ed but it appeared a lack of enthusiasm. Jose just said players have had too many minutes, eg being Herrera. Why’s he not been rotated for a younger lad? Just a bit frustrating, don’t bring them to not play them imo.
{Ed025's Note - a lot of it is a PR exercise caolan and the result and tactics unimportant mate..
29 Jul 2018 00:39:23
Again I totally agree, but if after the match we are talking about players, playing too much you’re in trouble. He’s not happy anyway ed (nothing new there) . I think I just had expectations of guys like gomes and garner getting plenty of minutes.
{Ed025's Note - i think we all know my feelings on the miserable one caolan, but that meant nothing tonight, we all know liverpool are miles ahead of united and thats not likely to change anytime soon mate unless jose does the honourable thing..
29 Jul 2018 00:55:44
But if we were to get in Alderweireld and Bale, would Liverpool still be miles ahead of us Ed? Think we'd be better than them, they may play more attractive football but doesn't necessarily make them a better team?
{Ed025's Note - if you get toby and gareth then you would have 2 players who would get in the liverpool side scholes, thats how far i think they are ahead of united, kills me to say it but im afraid its true mate..

Guys, nothing to worry about to be honest. It's never nice to lose to that deluded lot but when the business end will start you can bet Jose will put that deluded lot with clown in charge to the sword.
Let the celebrate in July, come may, it will be the same song as always " next year is ours".
Will make it much sweeter.

Tin, do you honestly believe Jose will still be here at the business end of the season?
It would be only the second time ever he has finished three seasons with a club.
And judging his demeanor at the moment we are about to have a Jose melt down this season.

Hahahaha ed025 on a proper wind up tonight, brilliant.
I think De Gea might get in there, Fred was chosen for the World Cup ahead of Fabinho so let’s put him in as well, Bailly is better than every centre half except VVD so why wouldn’t he get in the team?
The ‘Liverpool are amazing, United are useless’ narrative is easy during pre season, remember this team with all the players who wouldn’t get in their team finished above them comfortably last season and hasn’t lost to them in 8 premier league games.
{Ed025's Note - de gea possibly GDS but alisson may just negate that, is bailly any better than lovren? both average and have a mistake in them, not seen enough of fred in a united shirt but now your struggling, liverpool will be a much stronger unit this term i believe and see them as the only threat to city to be honest, unfortunately i see united struggling to make the top 4 mate..

Ed 25
I agree with you! I think you may be running into the danger of being labelled as toxic like so many have for just giving an honest viewpoint.
{Ed025's Note - i only say what i see DW, even though i dont support united i have always seen them as a stalwart of the english game and the bench mark others aspired to, they look a million miles away from that at the moment mate and for me the manager is the catalyst in that..
29 Jul 2018 09:25:14
We are missing 17 players to be fair.
{Ed025's Note - bit of an underestimation there i think caolan.. :)
29 Jul 2018 10:31:03
Lol ed.
How’re Everton getting on in pre season? Silva made much of an impact yet or too early to tell?
{Ed025's Note - far too early caolan, we are a team in transition mate but when we do get it right be afraid...be very afraid.. :)
29 Jul 2018 10:52:49
Now ed you’re starting to sound like us united fans mentioning transition ;) . If that 22-0 win was anything to go by yous will walk the league lol.
{Ed025's Note - if only all teams we play are like them mate..
