I like Garner as a presenter but think he is a weak commentator. Seems a good bloke though, certainly not a gimp.
Manchester United 0:1 Atletico Madrid (Sat 30th July, 12:45 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This whole collective pressing has really limited the "we have no DM" posts. Under Ole it would have definitely been brought up
Haha, was Rashford trying a drop kick form 40 metres out.
Its a good experience for Elanga. Part of his development process. He isn't playing to his strength.
Steve McClaren in his shorts, might request a name change
Bruno's stinker unfortunately is continuing
Waste of good move
Why no try Bruno on the right in this game and play Eriksen? Hope to see Garner involved in the 2nd half.
AM have some heavy hitters in their ranks - you don't really think "star studded" when you think of them, but then you look at their squad and think ... wow!
Was wondering during the first half, what's the more gruelling experience: playing vs Atletico or playing vs Burnley?
The fact that the Spaniards also have quality and that the stakes are usually higher tips it towards Atletico I reckon

Bruno is actually very good. Problem is that he tends to go box to box while he is supposed to focus more on his AM role. As a result it tends to take away his stamina and makes him more susceptible to mistakes.
If he keeps himself focused on playmaking, we have a top top playmaker.
Shock two mins in and two good counters led by Bruno…
Sam Homewood. Yes he is a likeable chap, was funny too on FTD.
Typical Martial sleeping
It's weird how much this stadium looks like Old Trafford.
Some people think he has been good though. Not sure if we all are watching the same game.
what has specifically a DM to do with collective press?
They have almost guaranteed CL money every season. Helps with building a deep squad.

Maguire has quietly had a strong pre season. Hoping he can take that into next week.
Simeone looks like a retired drug lord.
Wonder if Christian (Eriksen) will join him for the post match analysis ;-)
Bruno's new double his money contract still baffles me.
Elanga is crap though. He’s technically miles off the level.
Even the simplest of passes are being messed up by Bruno
I missed the first half - is that Blomqvist?! Almost wrote himself into United folklore during the 99 final
Ahh that makes sense. I was about to ask who the bloke with the beard was. A quick Google says yes, yes it is.
Bruno again losing the ball under pressure
He has had a lot of stiff competition for that honour.
More like Gadaffi
Another misplaced pass by Bruno.
Fernandes' first touch and ball shielding is so awful
Elanga is awful with the ball
Elanga and Bruno dreadful. Nothing comes off for them.
I can only judge him on what he's doing and not "ifs", unfortunately. Hopefully Eriksen displaces/offers some real competition his way
He is taking good positions but his first or even second touch is crap.
There’s a difference between you nothing thinking he’s very good and him not being very good. 2 different statements. Pretty comprehensible.
Maguire all round has had a really strong pre season. Bruno's on borrowed time at this point, he's been the breaking down point for moves time and time again.
That was good by Elanga
Bruno still unable to keep possession.
