Manchester United 4:1 Melbourne Defeat (Fri 15th July, 11:05 UK time)

[SoCross]

Zidane is first name. La

It feels like an alternate universe

Well that’s me had. The multiverse is no more.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Great run from Chong, big oops from the Melbourne defender with the own goal. 4-1.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Donny literally kicking himself for not getting the tap in

 

[saik]

Second half team I think have played the system better.

Yea. I think it's because the midfielders have shown better technical ability on the ball. Zidane and Savage are already miles better technically than McT.

Zidane looks like he needs to expand his passing range more as he is playing it short most of the time but Savage has been pinging some impressive crossfield passes.

 

[Banana Republic]

Chong has looked good.

Not good enough

Chong has had very little room to play in.
He’s been marked really tightly for most of this half.
He’s done a decent job in the circumstances.

 

[christinaa]

Is there another trophy for this win?

 

[DJ_21]

Savage and zidane look quality! First team bound next season..: give them some Europa and league cup games.

 

[Samid]

Donny literally kicking himself for not getting the tap in

Would've passed it backwards anyway

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Think that does a discredit to Anelka who was at least consistently good for a period.

he is more like Mario Balotelli. Capable of rare moments of genius between being consistently injured or shit

Yeah, Anelka had some 20 goal seasons despite being a perpetual shit head.

 

[crossy1686]

Hopefully protects him against bumps etc.

It should do, that's one of the reasons why they stack on the weight during pre-season.

 

[TheReligion]

Goal down until I turned in

Thank me later lads

 

[sglowrider]

Amad is more composed today. I like him in tight spots -- good vision/imagination and ball control.

 

[Raw]

How have I only just noticed the team name in the thread title

 

[AltiUn]

Our pressing has been very co-ordinated in both games, encouraging signs.

 

[GifLord]

4-1

 

[sglowrider]

Goal down until I turned in

Thank me later lads

That's the sort of sacrifice we expect from fans.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Savage is such a good passer.

 

[AltiUn]

Sometimes playing with better players makes passing easier. Better movement ahead of you opens up opportunities that are not present at a lower level. Against that playing against better defenders means less time on the ball to play the pass.

A very good point.

 

[Fanatic 00237]

If you havent seen it yet:

Thanks a lot, mate.

 

[Real Name]

Ok, we're gonna be champions for sure.

 

[mu4c_20le]

What a ball

 

[VeevaVee]

Is that another trophy in the bag?

 

[SuperiorXI]

Melbourne Defeat

 

[tenpoless]

Century Champions of Australia

 

[sillwuka]

Charlie Savage, take a bow son.

 

[Nick7]

So Ten Hag won’t be getting sacked in the morning??

 

[Tom Cato]

How nice to see Nani

 

[gregor]

We are going to score 4 in every game this season, aren't we?

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Really do think our first XI vs our second XI would be fairly even!

 

[Woziak]

Savage and zidane look quality! First team bound next season..: give them some Europa and league cup games.

Totally Agree

 

[TheReligion]

This is trash.

What is trash sorry?!

 

[mu4c_20le]

We are going to score 4 in every game this season, aren't we?

Until we concede 5

 

[JJ12]

Is that another trophy in the bag?

Cup double

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Melbourne Defeat

I just saw the thread name change.

 

[SoCross]

4-1

Very misleading. Thought she’d flash the crowd.

 

[christinaa]

Is that another trophy in the bag?

I already asked that

 

[1988]

Yeah you have to pay a month or year subscription. A month is £7.99.

FYI, I could watch the game without a subscription through the app.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Both Martial & Rashford have remembered where the goal is

 

[diarm]

Zidane and Savage are going to fill that Greenwood shaped hole in my soul very nicely.

 

[FreakyJim]

I've seen us play better, seen us play worse. Doesn't really matter, it's pre-season.
