Everyone in and around the club knows we need upgrades but for that to happen we need outgoings.
Also would be good fanbase realise that the likes of AWB, McTom are really poor players.

Yea he's been hung out to dry by both Antony and Oyedele.
I think rashford will still hold sway in starting. Especially with more pre-season under the belt.
Sanch---no.
ffs...Sancho can't even beat a 17 yr old off teh dribble
BOOOOO Sancho, get rid of this clown.
He will. We will start the season with Rashford and Garnacho out wide. Right or wrong.
Sancho and Antony.
Both giant wastes of money.

We kept the manager who seemingly no interest in making us good at that
The "fans" on Twitter are already piling in and writing Scanlon off because he dared play out of position in his first game against serious opposition, in a role he has literally never played before. Properly stitched up by Ten Hag and the others around him.
Nowt wrong with that. He should have been stronger.
Punt return?
That was bad.
It's in our DNA
ETH must be told in no uncertain terms you pick Antony in any starting 11you pick up your P45. The side this half is reminiscent of last year’s, badly coached, can’t keep the ball and no creativity and penetration, have we actually had a shot on target this half ?
The only good thing about today’s game Dan Ashworth, Wilcox , Brailsford and Berrada are all present to see just how many players we need, and how many players we still need to get rid of?
It’s just a friendly but losing is a habit that ETH has become all too familiar with, 3 pre season Games, 2 defeats already!

Yes, but there is a reason someone may pay £25m for McTominay and wouldn’t for Oyedele. The guy is limited but scores goals at PL level and International football. He’s essentially a Fellaini.
Ah well. Bed calling.
It's a friendly. It really doesn't matter.
There’s still a penalty shoot out !
Sancho dribbling into a wall and Antony trying to robben every kick.
Sub them off. Just to send a damn message.

The club that brought Zidane, Wiltord, Lizarazu through going out of business over 90m when we spent 150m on those 2.
Nah he is not - at the U21 he just stood there and passed the ball around - usually backwards. He is a completely different player.
We beat Arsenal last summer and it meant nothing. Today’s game also means nothing.
I'm assuming you're not familiar with the NFL
Welp, we beat Arsenal last year and ended up having a miserable season, whereas they went on to challenge for a title (and as always bottle it), so maybe us losing this time will give us a better season than them this time around 
Yea, I wouldn't pay any attention to those lot. There's some on here too slating him and it shows that they don't watch youth football.
I still remember that summer when we played some cracking football in the friendlies - and then started the season by losing to Swansea
The pitch was awful. As most temporary installations are.
Calm down. It’s just a friendly. We played a second half with all youth players, against a handful of first teamers. It’s meaningless to draw anything from this.
Same Coach, Same Zonal marking, same 35-40% loss rate incoming, ETH will be gone by Xmas unless he changes an awful lot of his footballing principles.
Did he just say there's a pen shootout? eh? 
Amad and Mount stand out players of first half.
Eriksen the best of the second half.
We need to sell Antony, Sancho, Case now. I don't care about the transfer fee. Get those fecking wages off our books.

Nope. I’m a Darts and Rugby guy.
Youth team players have filled in for absences during pre-season forever. If anything he should be grateful to on tour at all.
Not particularly important. It is annoying that a lot of the same issues were the cause of it but hey, believe in the manager I suppose.
True and that is why it could be a win-win for all parties involved. We shouldn't be dependent on McT's goals, and instead strengthen other areas so that we don't concede as many goals as we did last year. For us goals should come from numerous other forwards we have, doing their damned jobs
That is, if we want to be a top 4 team. You would also agree that no top 4 team would sign McT, wouldn't you? And there is a reason for that as well
What a brain death post, in any case they lack quality as is the rest of our team. I have seen City's kids do way better in this preseason
Well, not a scintillating match. If anyone wondered how we'd fare with half our team and half youth, now they know. Also today was a bit of Bruno Appreciation Day.
Thank feck the transfer window is still open.
We really have to turn the page on some of these players. I'm afraid we're never going to look coherent with Onana in the back, sorry Onana fan(s). It's quicker to list the players who should stay.
All that aside, I was happy with Amad, Amass, Collyer, Mount, Højlund. Those will be part of regular match day squads. For the rest, this is/was just a fun holiday.

feck off with that. Stitched up? He got to play with the first team in pre-season. 3 players on the bench that didn't despite us making 12 changes.
The pitch is a bit slow but the ball has moved fine. It hasn’t bobbled, the turf hasn’t cut up.
Is not just about losing, the football we are playing is taking us no where. We need to keep the ball better and ETH needs to rethink his whole transition football nonsense.Welp, we beat Arsenal last year and ended up having a miserable season, whereas they went on to challenge for a title (and as always bottle it), so maybe us losing this time will give us a better season than them this time around
