Preseason Tour Game 4: Man Utd v Liverpool (ICC, Saturday 28th July 22:05 BST)

Are you referring to Martial?

I was just thinking back about our squad depth in years under SAF. One of the reasons we were so good was it felt like even our substitute bench was always in good form. Like Solskjaer. If we had the same level of sharing of opinions as on the internet and social media then, I wonder if there would have been as much clamor for him to start.

Well, in terms of favourites, Jose showed that he was happy to play Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Sanchez and Matic....no matter how good or bad they were playing.
Conversely, no matter how good some of our other players were playing, they'd get benched.
The same was true at Chelsea, when he kept playing Ivanovic, who was playing really badly.
Martial was a good example, of a player who was in good form, but he kept getting benched. Bear in mind that I am not a Martial fan and would happily see him sold this Summer (due to him wanting to leave our club).
 
Quite laughable the lack of attacking intent from United. I know it's pre-season and all...
 
Seems there is more lfc supporters in stadium.
I think there are generally more Liverpool fans in the states than United or any team for that matter. Not sure why. I definitely see more Liverpool shirts than anything when I’m out. I don’t get out much though so...
 
Why are we both in third/away kits ? And how bad is that grey kit of theirs. Got to be the worst kit i have seen in some time.
 
I can't tell if you're serious or joking. They're preparing for the upcoming season. Their holiday was before this. Most players are trying to play for a position in the starting XI against Leicester. I don't think they're holidaying, esp not when they're on the pitch.

They don't chill with Hollywood stars if they are in serious training mode. Also, if you've been paying attention the past few years, the way we play in preseason has feck all to do with how we play once the season actually starts.

Really? That’s literally the first time I’ve heard of this. I always thought we were number one over there by a long way.

:lol: Not a chance.
 
So basically you dont think Mourinho or his coaches know what they are doing?
jesus christ this argument again. Does Van Gaal playing Blackett or CBJ means that they are United quality? At least CBJ looked promising. McTominay was lucky to be in competition with Willock and Redmond to make up for numbers in the first team when we needed a palyer because of injuries, he was most phisically ready. It is good to see a player with a good character and spirit but that is absolutely it. Now it is time to move on.

Have you been paying attention to what I wrote? I said McTominay is limited. I cited the current game as an example. It doesn't have feck all to do with whether its preseason or not

When we were winning and exciting. US Sports fandom is more fluid than that in Europe, they will shamelessly follow success and glamour. Don't underestimate how far the Utd reputation has fallen in recent years, being mediocre and boring is not a great combination.

Yeah I highly doubt there are more Liverpool fans than United fans in the US.

Well, to be fair, I think United fans are not as thick as other fans in that we don’t wear the shirt out to dinner or to the movies. I see Liverpool, RM, Barcelona shirts all the time. I only wear my United shirts if I’m going to a match or viewing party. I went skiing once and there was an old geezer in a full Liverpool kit pulled over his snow suit. Had a hat and all.

Blackett or CBJ never played the same amount of games as Scott. How about you leave the wee cnut alone and enjoy the match?

I don't think this is true?
I always thought the successful teams were hated over there?
Maybe I'm wrong but the repeat winners such as Golden State are regularly getting hated on from all angles.
The Patriots as well...Yankees are the devil...
