We're going to win the league boys.

Get the medals ordered, it's in the bag.

Thats 1, if Utd can just manage to score another 2 goals then I win £100. Which is nice.

Encouraging that the pressing is doing well after such a short time training

State of the defending

Don't kid yourselves. We are playing pretty much our strongest 11. Liverpool's is made up of kids.

And Liverpool are a settled team with the same manager for the past 5 years. You can see that even though this is a young team they know exactly how they should be moving and playing.

I still remember the pre-season under LvG where we looked like peak Barca and then started the season poorly and it all disappeared. Pre-season is for fitness and for United its for ETH to start to coach the team to play how he wants.

Rashford is continuing his fine vein of form from last season so far.

Chances aplenty so far but both sides looking obviously rusty.

Yeah we beat Real and then lost to Swansea? I think on the opening day

DDG isn't looking rusty he looks in top confidence. He should be our Captain IMO.

Shamikebab · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:29

A few players look a little sharper. Think Dalot and Sancho have started well and Carvalho for Liverpool has looked good.

Shamikebab · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:31

That was a rather delicate finish from Fred!

Depends what you want from your captain.

Fredjjj!!!

Robbo · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:32

Nice from Fred. Cancel the De Jong deal.

Shamikebab · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:32

I think the intention is FDJ will play the role Fred is playing today with Fred playing where McT is playing. Will give him more license to go forward.

Shamikebab · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:34

Tonnnnnnnny!

adam cool dude · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:34

Bloody hell I go for a wee and come back 3-0. LOL

There you go.

Robbo · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:34

Martial! Can't fault this so far.

fez · 12 Jul 2022 at 14:35

Martial looked like he was running in treacle for a while there. Luckily he had about 20 metres to trot before the defender caught him.
