We can't keep the ball for 1 straight minute.
Preseason Tour Game 6: Bayern v Man Utd (Friendly, Sunday 05 August 19:15 BST)
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Some people watch the match just to complain, it's funny reading the comments though
This is the football we have to look forward to boys
definitely looking a tad lost without our senior full backs. They are doing fine, just not looking like they will make a difference thus far.
We will be relegated.
Can't wait till we have a modern coach, that appreciates having the ball.
We need to try and score.
I love mata but I don't see a purpose to him if we play with 3 in midfield.
Usual for a pre season.
Good thinking.
Which is what exactly?Sitting deep and hoofing it clear if you get the chance to nick the ball off them.
The big question here is - will we create a chance!
We have been terrible offensively. 30 minutes played and we didnt have a sniff of a chance. How can anyone like whats offered a week before the season is baffling. We should be miles ahead fitness wise
Get Paddy a coke
Mate you talk shit. I'm telling it as it is for the ones who can't see the match. Shall I tell lies and say we're playing fantastic. Take your red tinted glasses off. Watch what your saying as well
At the first water break I'm not unhappy with the performance thus far. As you'd expect, Bayern has dominated the ball and we've been a bit lacking on the counter without Lukaku as an outlet. However, we have coped fairly well with the Bayern pressure and both Bailly and Lindelof look to have their heads screwed on. Unfortunately, despite looking good down the spine of the team, we've been lacking in wide areas: Mata, Darmian and Shaw have all had average to worse showings so far.
Paddy’s knocked his Coke over 
Not a great game honestly...

Just ordering my crates of red bull as we speak.
Not watched much pre-season then?
I like the look of Fred, the team look solid and Bailly and Lindelof look particularly so at the back. However we've done nothing with the ball whatsoever. I'd like to see more of an idea from us in possession before I'd say I'm liking it.
Can't believe we are focusing on getting in another CB when the full backs are what need upgrading
That is the object of the game.
You know the kit is absolutely fecking faboulous. I wasn't sold on it when I first saw the leaks but watching the guys play in it is totally different. Amazing effort.
So Shaw looks like he’s trying a lot harder. Sanchez simply can’t operate in that position. Bailly still can’t pass a football. Bayern are using this as a training session as if we are one of those bottom half bundesliga teams. We need to play with the ball ffs

Rashford has looked sharp when running into the channels but not much else happening.
Nowhere near as bad as you guys are making out. It's a pre-season friendly with half our first team on the pitch.

We aredull like last season, probably something to do with the system and a manager who wants to play like that
On the other hand Bayern are hardly exciting either.
Going one by one.. think midfield is fine even though Fred is finding is feet a bit but Rashford can't hold the ball up top, in fact to do anything. Mata is pointlessm to weak and slow to stretch the play or hold the ball. Sanchez looks like class trying not to get rid of the ball as soon as it gets to him.
Lindelof and Bailyl are both not really that good on the ball what other people think, didnt make single successful pass forward hoofing in hope

A bit, but i would be surprised if he offered any concrete output during the season
In all honesty, it’s scary that season is approaching thick and fast and one can only hope Leicester are in a similar to us place right now preparations and team selection wise.
Do T-Mobile pay those fans in the far left corner to wear white?
That's not his job though. That's expected of every footballer on the pitch. His job is to be involved in the creative side of the game and every time the ball goes near him we tend to lose it at the moment. He's not making runs, he's not controlling the ball and he's not offering link ups. The difference in energy from Sanchez is obvious.
I hate he way we approach games with a passion. This manager has no desire to compete for the ball.
Michael Owen there...
Just like in the important games of the last two seasons we're looking intent to attack but lack the creativity or the precision with the last ball to score.
I think Kimmich just called his opponent a dog.

At the moment we have played 4-5-1{Rashford}
Would never have guessed.
A LB and RW are much more needed than a CB
And he’s looked very good, which does.
Our full backs suck so hard. Why not prioritise that position instead of a CB?
