Roughly the two strongest teams there (available on the tour).

Interesting that Rooney is suddenly captain rather than Fletcher, but not a surprise...

 

[Robbo]

Wonder how bad our defence will be, can't see us doing much up front with Lambert up front

Phil Jones will no doubt run into him and injure himself.

 

[Robbo]

Nice smoke...

 

[Robbo]

Thought that was going in.

 

[Robbo]

Where did Shaw come from?!

Oh, Valencia injured or something (or more likely taken off because he's bad).

 

[Robbo]

Wow, that's a shocker from Jones.

 

[Robbo]

And now Fletcher looks like a statue against a decent midfield.

 

[Robbo]

omg did you just see Fletcher try a backheel.

And the ball didn't move.

 

[Robbo]

Wow, that looked a penalty too...

 

[Robbo]

How a bad were Real Madrid or did Man Utd play a lot better then?

A lot better, but Real Madrid had players in unusual positions too.

 

[Robbo]

Defence have been rubbish, so has Fletcher, so has Hernandez.

 

[Robbo]

That's probably going to be the story of your season? I thought you'd buy at least one experienced centre back with Vidic and Ferdinand leaving.

You've already looked ten times more purposeful going forward than all of Moyes matches combined though.

We will buy a CB or two, just haven't yet.

 

[Robbo]

Cleverley on. Beast.

 

[Robbo]

Nicely taken Wazza lad.

 

[Robbo]

Now we're in business. Mata!

 

[Robbo]

Hahahaha! WHAT.

 

[Robbo]

Haha, that's awesome.

Did they rule it out?!

Aw.

 

[Robbo]

Have to say, Blackett looks far more comfortable than any of our other defenders.

 

[Robbo]

Really do like Blackett, he's got to be promoted to the first team, looked class and composed in nearly all the games so far.
