Casemiro was so casual there
Manchester United vs Liverpool (Sun 4th August, 00:30 UK time)

Is it just me or we seem to be better with press and counter-press, despite not having enough of new, quality players? It's been several games now, and hardly accidental?
“He’s useful!”
First time I've mentioned him. That cross was atrocious and sums him up going forward.
Come on Sancho .... Another good chance goes begging.
Our link play in attack is poor. We still have no idea how to break down a compact defense.
AWB nowhere near as bad as is being made out
Rashford looks sharp. His usual epic season after a terrible one is incoming!
Even defensively he's exploitable as long as your wide players can pass and move
We've created 2 clear chances
Mount is looking great
Playing really good, only goals missing.
Which players have we bought?
Fecking amazing how he missed that. Open goal too
+1 between injuries, cup games, and substitutions I can see Zirkzee playing A LOT of minutes. And if he does well, he may even move Hojlund to #2 choice. Zirkzee is not some older striker that was brought-in as Hojlund's backup. We have two young, capable strikers, and it's up to Zirkzee if he overtakes Hojlund or becomes our #2 striker that still plays ton of minutes
It seems to me that it's more Rashford smashing the ball into people's legs. His dribbling has been good but his timing and passing have been off so far.
We could have had three if clinical
It wasn't great.... but feck me are you guys tedious. Anyway it's the match day thread, continue.
Don't know what game you are watching but we have created so many good chances already that we should have easily scored 2 goals if not for the finishing.
Were killing them 0-1 at the moment.
Scared to to believe what I am seeing, or jinx him, but Rashford looks not bad at all?
Rashies doing well
Has Alisson played any pre season (or off)?
Tell you what, Rashford and Casemiro are showing some class
Cool seeing the defensive line so high
That was close.
Quality stuff here from United. Pool offering nothing.
Y’all are slating Casemiro but he’s playing some good balls though.
Good effort by Rashford
Think United have been really good, Casemiro shameful for the goal but very good otherwise.
Oooft Rashford that would have been special.
Rashy looks fecking sharp. Come on boy!
Rashford looking sharp.
Rashford looks sharp.
Rashford looking good and fit
Think we're set for a good Rashford season.
Yea our finishing this game has been infuriating to say the least. We have Liverpool on the toast here.
Won the ball and then lost it with some casual/poor flick clearance thing for the goal conceded. Played a first time cross over everyone's head when we had 4 players in central positions ready to take the ball at feet in and around the penalty box. Fired a first time pass to Amad's feet when he had a player pressing him, which if intercepted would have had us going backwards on a counter attack as Evans had pushed forward a little.
It's the many little things which don't tie our game together and interrupts any semblance of continuity.
He's not usually this bad but this is a bad half from him so far. He's still using his athletic strengths but that's besides the point.
Brilliant from Rashy again
