Guess Antony hasnt learned a thing during the break in football
Manchester United vs Arsenal (Sat 22nd July, 22:00 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
That small dink to play Antony forward by AWB was very well done.
I should collect all the receipts for those who swore AWB was a championship player.
Making many posters look foolish.

Bruno seperating Erik and the official 
Great entertainment, if only Antony could finish he would be top class!
Great halve. Kicking them back down to reality after they beat some team 5-0. Not seen much of their new 105m man.
Who? Is he playing?
Close by Antony. Good football in the buildup. Mainoo and AWB involved again. They've both been really good. Great to see AWB doing so well in attack!
Whats with that mouthy cnut Jesus?

Bruno
We've dominated but mainly because we've taken it seriously while Arsenal have only shown up for a kickabout. Even still it's been impressive from us.
For a pre-season game that was absolutely top notch. United look hungry, Arsenal maybe think they don't have to earn it.
And also overrated af. So yeah, hype.
That was a good first half
Great tackle, won the ball.
Bruno having to diffuse ETH
Nowhere near as good as the media makes out. He's a good player. Let's not go crazy here
He doesn't need a striker to play with, he himself needs to actually play well. Sick of this pogba defence where a player needs some other player to really show their talents, when they should just do so.
Love it, Erik boiling their piss
Ten Hag arguing with the fourth official in a preseason game and Bruno having to pull him away. No friendlies, I guess.

Proper captain!

Has anyone told Erik this games a friendly.
Wan-Bissaka was exceptional that half.
Looks like he might have even gone up another level from last season.
Very effective on the ball.

Is Havertz actually on? Literally haven’t heard his name once
HT.
A lot of encouraging stuff to take from that. We are toying around with them & been the far far better team against a side that are supposed to be a little further ahead in their pre-season schedule. Could easily have scored 4 or 5 in this half. They’ve only had the chance from Martinelli which he sittered.

I was on ex Chelsea watch but I don’t think I’ve seen Havertz touch the ball a single time. Mount has been a a bit quiet too but at least he’s been involved, been decently press resistant and good in possession, albeit very safe.
Shows the mentality. Ten Hag is a winner, winning 2-0 at a friendly and still complaining to the ref. Like he said he plays no friendliesBruno pulling ten hag away from the ref
Bruno calming down the gaffer 
He really needs to learn that especially if we get a proper 9 who needs the service
Bruno dragging the manager away from an argument with the fourth official!
ETH was right when he said “Bruno is our captain “
Not sure what Arteta is doing tbh. Partey and Xhaka was really well balanced. Rice upgrade on Partey... But putting Havertz in for Xhaka completely unbalances the side. I'm sure he'll toss Partey back in during the season but it's weird to kill your balance like that
Declan Rice doesn't fancy this then?
Should keep playing the first team lads up till 60 minutes imo.
It's a good game will do the the world of good to keep it going a bit longer

He’s playing?
We look solid at the back and good going forward. Think we’ll score a couple more when Rashfords on, he’ll use the space and rinse there full back.
Really good first half after Arse was slightly the better side first 10 mins we have been the better side since. 2 good goals.
