Manchester United 2:2 Steven Gerrard's Villa (Sat 23rd July, 10:45 UK time)

Absolute class defending from Maguire,

Looked like a deliberate foul on DDG for that corner, does need to be stronger though
He needs to either make it look a proper foul or be much braver.

He just sort of semi jumps in mid air and does neither.
 
Slightly worrying 15 minutes that, totally lost it there. Hopefully just a one-off.
 
Fred is playing fantastic in that mop up role, and the playmaking role, and the awesome person role.
 
Yep shame, we’ve gone back to zombie football. At least Eric can see it unfold in front of him now
 
Enough can't be said on how dreadful the pitch is, Sunday league in winter levels of shit. Totally ruined any chance of a good match.
