The Great Preseason Thread

Just funny seeing the full scale squad changes.

Yeah, I wouldn't make any judgements based on preseason, though playing well isn't a bad thing. The general signs are good.

Ayew somehow still on the pitch

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.

The best thing about all these tours is we get to find out who the antivaxers are.

Is that **** Ayew still on the pitch. At this point when he injures someone its as much Vieras fault as Ayews.

Oh DDG. That was poor.

The kid has had a mare

fez · 19 Jul 2022 at 13:01

Not sure that was intentional but very silly.

Fish stinking the plaice out..

Shamikebab · 19 Jul 2022 at 13:03

Think giving the kid his first appearance alongside a guy who first played CB like a week ago might not have been the best move.

Boy was out of his depth and made a clam-atous decision.

I sea what you've done there.

Gotta love these pre-season full team subs.

Very disappointed, saw the team sheet and saw 41 Lard.....but then looked again and it was Laird.

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.

Wonder if we can do what the Americans do, and just pick United up and move over to the Dutch league or something

Looks like playing sub par opposition is paying dividends so far.

I predict top 1 position now based upon our pee season goal difference so far.

You mean like Liverpool? Right.

Yes playing their u18 squad with our first team starter squad was great.

It was a mixture both halves.

Nobody is saying preseason means anything, it really doesn't, but there are positive signs.

The Running Man · 19 Jul 2022 at 16:04

I missed the game but as long as we don't pass our kick offs back to DeGea for him to hoof it up to the half way line for a 50/50 (where the ball started) I'm already in the church of the top 2

BaZ87 · 19 Jul 2022 at 16:13

I can honestly say in my entire time on this forum I've never read you say anything positive about Utd @The Running Man. Surely it must get boring complaining all the time?
