Preseason Tour Game 1: Man Utd vs Club America (Friendly, Friday 20th July 03:00 BST)

[Ramshock]

You started mocking people who thought McTominay was average based on what they've seen on him in his career. I'm arguing that such a belief is perfectly legitimate.

There is literally nobody basing their opinions on this meaningless match. The match, their squad status etc is irrelevant.

Im not allowed to rebuke people calling a youngster average? Get over yourselves.

 

[Canucantona20]

Put Gomes on

 

[Ramshock]

Yeah, one goal doesn't change that.

No?

 

[Sandyman]

McTomminay down

 

[Redplane]

The folks shooting this game are kind of shit no? Would be nice to see what happened.

 

[peridigm]

CA coach is angry and animated like Chris Farley.

 

[Sandyman]

The folks filming this game are kind of shit no? Would be nice to see what happened.

Think it was from an earlier incident. Collision of heads during the previous corner.

 

[AgentP]

One thing with Pereira that sticks out (negatively) is that he pretty much plays it to the first run he sees. Even if it's a decoy run/not a great run, he'll try to force it to them. Sometimes just needs to slow himself down.

That reminds me of Sanchez

 

[bosnian_red]

Tuanzebe and Gomes going to get 3-4 minutes... Don't understand why. It's the first pre-season game, surely they can get way more then that

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

McTomminay down

Wonder if Ethan Hawke Josh Hartnett will play him in the film adaptation?
EDIT: See what I did there?

 

[Ramshock]

Gomes should have come on earlier.

If we been up 6 by halftime, the whole team would be changed.

 

[automaticflare]

Chong showing some heart, grit and effort. Exactly what we need from pretty much everyone in the first team bar Lukaku tbh. I don't care if you don't have ability like Messi, no one does, but it's inexcusable being lazy.

With ya there mate

 

[Ramshock]

that front 3 thats United right there

 

[Chicharo]

The folks shooting this game are kind of shit no? Would be nice to see what happened.

Yeah and we still haven't seen what had happened

 

[bosnian_red]

If we been up 6 by halftime, the whole team would be changed.

It's preseason, the result doesn't matter

 

[Canucantona20]

Wish this game was longer

 

[An Irish Red]

And plenty of these players aren't even first choice.

Of course not but nobody said that they were. I just don't see what's so controversial about not rating Scott McTominay. It's a legitimate viewpoint.

But anyway, moving on. Chong has been great since he came on.

 

[MrPooni]

I still can't believe I actually thought Darmian was United quality at one point

 

[Redplane]

Don't know why but watching Chong really excites me. Feels like ages ago we had a player forcing the team up the pitch with his movement.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Hopefully Chong can make the breakthrough into our first team, great attitude.

No idea what you are talking about now.

 

[lysglimt]

I still can't believe I actually thought Darmian was United quality at one point

he was - for about 4-5 matches

 

[Canucantona20]

Darmian is shit

 

[Loublaze]

Pereira is a proper CM

 

[klayton88]

I still can't believe I actually thought Darmian was United quality at one point

I was just thinking, myself and I'm sure many others were tracking his flight in to Manchester in the transfer thread when we bought him. Jesus.

 

[Dion]

Fosu Mensah is not a good footballer.

 

[Eriku]

Why do all coaches in league football in Mexico look like Chris Farley?

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Mourinho in pink … get a waistcoat you chav!

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

[Redplane]

LOL was just thinking that.

 

[Womp]

Typical pre-season game. Players looked like they were fresh from holidays, few of them were tested in different positions etc. also. Going to be interesting to see what we do with the fullback positions.

 

[Dargonk]

From what I saw, a very average first game. Chong looked decent in parts, but in general it looks like our players have a long way to go before the season starts.

 

[An Irish Red]

No idea what you are talking about now.

Ramshock got annoyed at people claiming McTominay was average and started mocking them like the idea that a United player could be average was farcical. That's what I took issue with.

It then devolved into a (tedious) argument.

 

[mav_9me]

Nothing performance. I would much prefer to see greenwood/Chong and gomes get more minutes in 2nd half ahead of Mata/Darmian.

 

[WPMUFC]

CHONG 2018/2019 -- Make the RW Great Again!!!

 

[ash_86]

Chong was impressive. Grew into the game and everything was flowing through him

 

[RedIke]

Chong -

 

[roseguy64]

Not sure if you’re in Australia or not but we get MUTV as part of our pay tv package. If I have it figured out properly it should be on at 12pm Friday. But at that time they are showing a replay of a pre season game vs Real Madrid. Last year was the same with some games but it was because the games were live on beIN sports but it doesn’t seem like they are this year.

I got the Real Madrid game also. Had to use a stream.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

FTD saying Martial picked up an injury
