Rooney needs to be more selfish.

This is a typical United performance against Liverpool.

This backline is comedy
It's a friendly nobody wants to play.

They've only scored 1 PK. When they get another called then I'll agree.
haha, makes sense.
i will give my verdict after the valencia game.
please be excited.

Looks like Utd should have kept onto Rio for a bit longer.
So he could be fit for like 10 matches... Not really worth it.
At least he could defend. Better than what is on show ATM.

The worrying part for United is, unlike Liverpool, this is very close to the first 11
I'm guessing Smalling gets dropped. Jones in the middle.
Verms better on the ball than Smalling. Even M.Keane is.

We needed Vidic at least for this season. Worst thing Moyes did was drive him off.

Yep. I am sure he would have stayed if he knew LVG was taking over.
Vidal knows he would improve this midfield tenfold and become a legend. A hero.
Any chance Rooney gets? Passes it sideways to Young. At least try to shoot or get someone inside.

Rooney's got a bit gunshy

Why doesn't Brendan play some more new signings?
Lallana, Markovic are injured.

Young looking revitalized.. he's gonna be shit in 2 weeks though...
Lallana's injured, Lazza has a knock, and Lovren can't get a visa. I'm sure we'll see Emre in the second half.

Lallana's injured, Lovren didn't get a visa, Markovic isn't being risked, Origi went back to Lille, Can most likely on second half.

Thoughts at half time:
At the start we were absolutely terrible.
Then got a bit more confident and saw the ball more
The defense sucks. If LVG doesn't buy some new CBs after this I don't know.
Fletcher, love him, but he can't play that role for us on a regular basis. And if he gets injured, we are royally fucked.
Mata, Rooney look great. Herrera likes to get in there, which I like and looks comfortable on the ball, hasn't done anything special but the talent is there.
Young, whatever the fuck are we feeding him.
Shaw has looked good since coming on.
De GOAT is De GOAT
Gerrard is a cunt
So, to summarize:
Buy 2 CBs
Buy a CM/DM

Only saw it first time. Thought he won the ball first, not seen it from that angle.
Really?

Players warming up in pitch black lol.
Eh, you could make the case for Rafael, RvP, Carrick and Januzaj all starting instead, which is about equal with Liverpool (Sturridge, Flanagan, Lucas(?), Moreno).
I think we've done ok, not great though. It's painfully obvious that neither Smalling nor Jones can pass well enough, and Fletcher's been off the pace, but I like the look of Herrera and Shaw.

While Jones DOES GET A TOUCH on the ball
that tackle was needless, shows bad judgement skills (which we already know he has), risky, and yea. The back 3 have been terrible, just nothing more to say.
They need to know when to play out from the back vs. when to just fucking hoof it. We got into trouble 3 times because we are passing it around while pool is closing defenders down.

Really?
Looks to me like he got a piece of the ball as it kicks up before contact. Didn't see anything else as I as heading home when it happened.

LVG should be concerned about that defence.
Evans and Jones always have a mistake in them. One being over-timid, the other over-aggressive.
Young's crossing is actually competent this season but he looks a liability around his own box. Valencia's maybe a little bit of the reverse. And Rafael is always injured.
Whatever else, Smalling keeps a cool head. Shaw too.
Been making some good runs that have gone ignored and tried to whip up urgency by initiating short passes. Hopefully the team gets on his wavelength more.
