The Great Preseason Thread

Martial peaking too early.

Oof, that was a delicious ball from Rashford.

Unsurprisingly, Sancho has looked every bit the player we thought we had bought last season.

fez · 19 Jul 2022 at 11:58

Ayew is a complete pillock.

Just seen the goal....lovely assist from Dalot.

Genuinely thought he was dying or something. Overreactions like that should be booked imo.

I really wish they would. When you go from screaming like you are crippled one second and sitting there having a whinge without a care in the world 10s later you are being a *****. He intentionally came through one of our players earlier in retribution after the McTominay foul.

Maguire getting loads of boos every time he touches the ball according to Talk Sport.

That was an amazing team goal. So calm and unselfish.

Shamikebab · 19 Jul 2022 at 12:26

That was great team football, everyone made the right choice and didn't take a low percentage shot.

Always happens when we play in other countries preseason. Remember Fellaini getting recklessly booed from the first minute too. A lot of Foreign fans are just crap

Do palace not realise this is a friendly :/

fez · 19 Jul 2022 at 12:34

Viera needs to get Ayew off before he injures someone.

fez · 19 Jul 2022 at 12:36

Sancho is so composed in general.

Shamikebab · 19 Jul 2022 at 12:36

Sancho 3-0

Robbo · 19 Jul 2022 at 12:36

One observation is there's a lot more movement, players aren't just standing still and walking around. Good signs.

Lovely goal from Sancho, he looks assured.

Utd looking annoyingly good lately. Hopefully just a short term blip.

fez · 19 Jul 2022 at 12:38

Feel a bit sorry for Viera because this is basically a pointless tour. Most of their players aren't there and they are playing with the ambition of a depressed lemming.

It's exactly the same behaviour Bruno displayed last season game in game out. Don't think he'll do it under ETH though. Wish they would punish it more.

Preseason innit. Much harder to play well against premier league standard teams who are up for it playing at 100%. This is the sort of football that is much easier when the pace is slow. It will take much more time to be able to do this week in week out in the PL. I think EtH can do it but I'm not counting our chickens yet.
