Man United v Liverpool Post Match

- Start date
Yeah I was actually sarcastic about the friendly bit. I didn't care about the result but I myself find it a depressing thought of potentially watching this for another year. I really watch football to take my mind off things and enjoy the show but this is dreadful stuff. We have it in us to play decent football which I'm happy with but most of the times it's fair to say that it's shite.
But it's not, that resembled nothing of how we played last year. That wouldn't even get us in the top 10 never mind second.
We may not play as expansive as people want but it doesn't mean we play atrocious football that even resembles how we played tonight.
What did he say Sammy?
Looked fine in the first half all things considered, clearly out of gas in the second.
I reckon smalling might be gone after those comments from Jose
Why the feck is Bailly playing injured in a god damn friendly? And honestly as much as I like Bailly, I really do think he is a great player but man I am losing my patience with him, as another poster said, he really is "The Ivorian Phil Jones"...
He said:
The game was pointless because the majority of the team won't be in the squad for the season and the ones that will be are tired from an accumulation of matches.
The only thing it was good for was it told him even more about the ones he can rely on and the ones he can't with the ones he can rely on making themselves available (possibly a dig at Shaw and Smalling). Also said Bailly was injured and saw Smalling was going to pull out so Bailly made the decision to play by himself because he didn't want to leave 3 kids dealing with Mane and Salah etc. Now Bailly's ankle is very swollen (was clear Bailly is now in his good books for doing this).
Matic returned to training with an injury from the world cup and has now had surgery.
Martial should be back after the birth of his baby but isn't so seems to be suggesting he's AWOL.
It's even more infuriating when we keep doing it with Sanchez and Mata as the front two, it's no wonder Mourinho was so eager to keep Fellaini because if that's how we are going to continue then any Lukaku injury is going to completely screw us.
Mourinho not being accountable for anything is hardly new is it? When it blows up, and it will, he will leave smearing shit on everything Utd related. Horrific individual, hold your nose and wait for it to end.
Couldn’t give a damn. Watching Bayern destroying City right now, which also means nothing come day 1 of the season. Yes it sucks to lose to Pool, but it doesn’t say anything about anything.
Yeah pretty much. The results should never matter in these games. But the way we played. UGH.
I promise myself not to be too harsh on the team and manager this season at least for the first few months. For me to do that, I kind of have to complete ignore everything about everything from their pre season games to the manager's pressers it seems. Pretty sad.
I thought we played more of the same. I mean I was hoping basically that McKenna might have a bit of input into the way our team attacks but Jose said that he won't basically iicr. It's just still aimless pumps up front even when two midgets are playing against VVD and Klavan. I find it concering. I can only state how I feel. I do hope that it will get better.
They're all Manchester United players ffs Jose. How is that good motivation for the kids to hear that he doesn't even consider them part of his squad? 
Sigh.
Sigh.
The really funny/depressing thing is that Lukaku is useless when people hoof it at him from miles away too. Never mind Mata/Sanchez, we’re not even playing to his strengths!
He's such a cnut. How can a young player hear his comments and want to go on and play for him?
I have no idea why Bailly is playing injured in a friendly it makes no sense. Jose said that his ankle is now twice the size it should be and that's supposed to be a good thing.
I hope I wake up and he has been sacked.
Doesn't deserve our job. Always moaning, crap football, I can't stand his attitude.

It's hard to tell really, mate. I'm not denying we resorted to hoofing it, but our midfield except Pereira were so bad it's hard to tell if they were given instructions they couldn't follow or not. Combined with neither Mata nor Sanchez being able to get on the ball long enough to get us up the pitch. Individually our reserves and youngsters just played a bit shit in a formation we don't use much.
Because it's a meaningless pre-season friendly, in heat so bad we needed water breaks, without most of our first team squad, using a formation we don't play very much. It wasn't good, but there are degrees between cause for concern and sack the manager. We just finished 2nd, the sky isn't falling.
Soooo. 29%? Sanchez, Herrera, Mata, Pereira, Fred (5/17) 11 + 6 subs
29.4%
29.4%
That's a good point. Lukaku looks like a much better player for Belgium. Obviously there is arguably more talent there but playing the ball into channels and through balls seems to elavate his game.
I think you're bang out of order with that comment.
So he sends 70% of the squad (including many of the kids aspiring to progress within the team) straight under the bus in one breath.
The full-scale meltdown is coming this season isnt it?

Honestly think they might be. Darmian is one of the worst footballers I have ever seen play for United.
He's already checked out and waiting for his transfer to get wrapped up. Not sure why he's even given the minutes.
Not really a good thing to say as Manager.He's driving me mad.
We are just going to pretend that this game tonight had all of the same players from last season then? Ok
At least we didn't lose against them when it matters.
Glad to see the ride on here is turning. Jose is yesterday's man.
Van Gaal had a plan. It was a horrible and unsuccessful plan butvst least you could see what he was trying to do. I still don't understand what Jose is doing.

Great so Bailly is injured again and Matic needs surgery? Why the hell didn't he have that already when he got injured at the world cup? Brilliant news
