Will be devastated if Johnson starts in our first league game

 

[HotHamWater]

Was that a UFO on the pitch?

 

[K1LLER7]

Good pre-season.

Now to get Januzaj and RVP in this team.

Also Blackett is good.

 

[Walshy]

'Liverpool needs more goals'

Trevor, it's fucking pre-season

 

[LegoArmo]

That Hernandez cross was actually brilliant.

 

[LAM09]

Liverpool are short upfront. If Sturridge gets injured, they are done for.

 

[sohois]

Last night I asserted United with their current squad would be lucky to finish above Tottenham, and this preseason match did nothing to change that belief. Really need to get defensive reinforcements to have a hope. Was surprised that Shaw didn't seem to offer much in that regard, though he was perhaps playing too aggressively.

As for Liverpool, generally controlled possession easily but fullbacks might as well have not been on the pitch. Surprised Brendan didn't make more changes like Suso, Coates and Robinson.Not especially concerned about Lambert since his link up play was still good. Neither Henderson or Allen or Can got forward enough to which should have been regular against such a formation.

 

[Kurt Angle]

Shaw isn't fat, you guys are crazy. He was really good all game too.

Mata didn't look happy. Now we know who's getting sold.

 

[K1LLER7]

Dat trophy.

You're going to be wrong.


Accept it.

Live with regret.

lol

 

[KidA Seven]

:lol

Already did the double

 

[Lightning]

Good pre-season for United. In 11 days it all becomes much more important though.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Never thought I'd see Young play as well as he has in a United shirt.

Seems to suit that wing back position in the new system really well.

 

[K1LLER7]

Both United and Liverpool struggled when they were pressed high.

Wonder if Blackett will get a start in the PL. Has looked v.Good this pre-season.

You lost 3-1 and only had 46% possession, but ok.

 

[Mr Cola]

Wonder how this will impact our transffer business, surely LvG can now see the flaws

That's my big hope. 1 CB + 1 CM AT LEAST

2 CBS + 1 CM is good

Given our injury history over the past few years, we'll be lining up with Keane Carrick and Blackett for a couple games as our back 3 if Lewis doesn't make some signings.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Would be interesting to see how both liverpool and United do now against teams that shut shop.

 

[Jarnet87]

We drew against Inter.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

we'll see on the 26th of October

 

[K1LLER7]

We drew against Inter.

But beat Madrid

We/AshleyYoung were going easy on Inter bcuz of Vidic.

 

[LegoArmo]

Ashley Young will get the most assists in the Premier League next year, while simultaneously helping United keep the most clean sheets. God-like wing back!

 

[sohois]

Live with regret.

well i wouldn't be surprised. a simple calculation would still give utd a 35% base rate chance to overhaul tottenham. this match did not cause me to revise that estimation though

Still waiting to see how he does in PL.

It's going to be tough for LVG to find a place in the team for Januzaj and Kagawa. Januzaj won't contribute as much defensively in the wing-back role and I can't see either of them getting ahead of Mata.

They could maybe play as the second striker, but yeah, it'll mostly be rotation for them.

My friend who subscribed to HBO has apparently canceled his subscription. It's like I've lost a member of the family.

Yeah

Still need a ball playing CB and a CDM. However, overall I'm happy (at the moment) as the team is playing better football and we've seen some good goals in the past few games. Less emphasis on just getting it wide and crossing. Also, the new formation looks to be working with most of the players, Rooney and Young standing out, Herrera looks good, still needs some time but i'm looking forward to seeing the 352 used in the PL.

 

[Fergie]

Cheeky bid on Catterpirlo.

 

[FootballFan]

please Brendan no more Glen Johnson

Me mate told me you getting alves.

 

[wedward]

You lost 3-1 and only had 46% possession, but ok.

You seem angry.

It's only preseason.

 

[Meier]

Going through my pictures from New York. Finally at the game.. this pre-game shot was pretty cool.

 

[wedward]

Whats the code for the fantasy league?

 

[Salazar]

You lost 3-1 and only had 46% possession, but ok.

"You are poor and we are good, and you beating us 3-1 has reinforced that fact".

Sohois is jokes.

 

[Slizz]

Martin kelly was as bad as Johnson IMO

 

[Slizz]

Blackett balled also

 

[Draconian]

You lost 3-1 and only had 46% possession, but ok.

Responding to that is like responding to doicare after a United loss.

 

[Meier]

This is a pretty slick goal. Easier to tell how damn good it is from the view from behind: http://www.gfycat.com/HotArtisticCrossbill

 

[Messi]

Fucking A, still can't believe Barca bought Suarez.

 

[G-Unit]

I love how irritated jtb gets over ITK's.

You guys aren't all that different.

You both talk a load of shit and are rarely right about anything.

Fucking A, still can't believe Barca bought Suarez.

I love you pulga!! Win us more the trophies

Shit, that's a damn good hype video even if you don't care about American football. Worth 2 and a half minutes of your time. CAN'T WAIT!

 

[tri_willy]

grats unitedGAF, you beat us good

game confirms we definitely need those full backs plus another striker. brentan pls

from the comments over the game, johnson needs to be shelved. permanently. would it be bad to field reina in some games?

 

[Mastadon]

Just caught up with the highlights. I thought we were really good in the first half, especially Sterling and Couts. Good comeback from United though.

I hope Manquillo is first team standard. Fuck Johnson 🐢🐌

 

[Draconian]

This Arrow show is pretty good. Nearing the end of season 1, and I can't stop watching.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

I went to the game, it was a lot of fun. Upper bowl was empty but the lower bowl was packed. United fans reminded me why last season was so enjoyable, arrogant as always.

 

[Messi]

Season 2 is even better, and it builds to an insane finale.

 

[jtb]

top 7 is going to very tight this season, not a lot separating the sides

 

[Slizz]

Sterling was and is legit. For sure.
