I swear to Cod If I hear another Fish Pun.
Well, you took the bait.

Maguire has tunnel vision. How many times do we see Maguire dribble in circle and create trouble for himself from nothing when all he should have done is simple pass. There is no comparison between Maguire to anyone else. Players like FdJ takes his touch with purpose.Sure. Frenkie advances play through his dribbling rather than his passing.
He can make them. He just won't 9/10, and, when he does, the weight of his pass is inconsistent. Between the lines passes he's fine, and the odd scoop ball, but long range passing has never been a big strength of his.
In fact, like Arthur, it's why they came under so much criticism at Barca. Too safe with their passing.
Maguire is the same style as them, too.
Great 60 minutes. The front four and RB should be settled. All other positions still up for grabs. Hard luck for Fish.

So we dominated teams did we? We could hardly keep the ball under ole, couldn’t string 2 passes together.No it wasn't. We struggled to score primarily against the better teams, we did better against lower half teams than any other team than City, and we scored a significant majority of our goals from established play. This nonsense about counterattack football under Ole has got to stop.
Similar thought.I still don't feel like Rashford and Bruno are quite there. Sancho has been excellent, Martial took his chances and has been decent. We desperately need another attacker though. It is only so long until one of these hits a slump and we're totally screwed. Elanga looks the worst player so far on tour.

Winning 3 preseaon games is better than losing 3 preseason games
I dont think anyone is seriously going overboard, but why not enjoy whats in front of us right now
We sure need to improve on defending set pieces. This can become one of our biggest weaknesses.
Malacia look poor defensively. He gave some easy balls away and he was fooled too easily sometimes. I was a little worried about seeing his level.
Perhaps Duxbury and phill , I never rated Lingard much either but fair enough if you consider each of them superior to mctom.
But that's not my point because as I said before most of those had the luxury of playing under Fergie, lets give Scott a season (or even half a season) under a proper manager before throwing him under the buss.
True, but the claim was he is the worst academy player.
Which is just simply not true.

The red card did cause a lot of tenchion to be fair.

Yeah, I just hope when EtH inevitably and understandably leaves out Ronaldo for the first game it doesn't start a roe between them.A lot of difficult decisions to make. We'll need to give Ten Hag a bit of time to mullet over.
Anyone got a clip of the sending off?
Been fishing but can’t find it.
Not a single person on here really believes we will be anything but fighting for top 4 at best next season …but anyone that can’t see how the whole mood and attitude of the team has changed is blind. And that is something to be positive about…finally.Friendly reminder to manage your expectations. It's only preseason. Remember LvG? Yeah.
Even then it's still not trueHe's been playing regularly for five years, and the list of United players through history with as many games is not long. I think we have a reasonably large sample size to rate him. Pereira didn't get a chance, Lingard is out. James sold, while Bailly and AWB are out in the cold. Williams is not getting a try. None of these played under SAF, yet we don't think they're good enough.
If he improves then that's great, of course, but he is not very good at things United midfielders have usually been good at, and he has not been a good player so far in his career. He wasn't very good in the academy either.
The claim was that he's the worst academy player who's been given as much time, I'm pretty sure.
That's easy to say when you're perched on the sofa
he actually doesnt look very quick. Im not saying he wont improve his speed, nor is Shaw that quick neither, but never having seen him play, I was led to believe he is lightning quick. Sorry, he aint. Still early days.It is his first time in a new tactical and fitness regime and playing for a big club like Manchester United. He probably needs some time to adapt and what better way to do it besides pre-season.
fish punWhat did Fish get sent off for? Red card in a friendly jeez .
It's not about the results.
The performances are just so much better than last season.
Look at the Palace game at the end of last season compared to the last 3 games.
We looked clueless and there seemed to be no tactical plan but the players really look like they know what they're meant to be doing now.
People are still going to discuss what went wrong with previous managers when comparing our new manager. People still talk about the fergie days man!If we couldnt string 2 passes together, our possession stats will always be 20% and below. That was never the case with Ole. Anyway his tenure is over so there is no need to always bring him in to drive the argument.
Yeah, I just hope when EtH inevitably and understandably leaves out Ronaldo for the first game it doesn't start a roe between them.

But people have their scapegoats just as people have their favourites. Just seems like some players will never get the plaudits because of who they are.
McTominay is a very effective player, I would say a better player than P.Neville, and John o Shea at their respective times of their careers, who both suffered from not being able to nail a set position down.
Fish puns after weeks of height puns. FFS, how low have our standards sunk to.
Something fishyWhat did Fish get sent off for? Red card in a friendly jeez .
We did struggle against park the bus teams though as ole was all about counter attack. When teams sit deep you need a full back that’s comfortable on the ball and decent at crossing to give us another option and dalot is better then bissaka at that.
This is spot on re: FDJ. He really isn't the player fans think he is, like a pirlo or scholes or something. He is a brilliant ball carrier from deep. So different to eriksen in how he affects a game. I hope people aren't disappointed if they believe we are trying to buy a different playerSure. Frenkie advances play through his dribbling rather than his passing.
