Our CB's have been our best performers, but a goal from a set piece will give Jose the excuse he needs when it's blatantly obvious our FB's are awful and we offer nothing on the right.
Preseason Tour Game 6: Bayern v Man Utd (Friendly, Sunday 05 August 19:15 BST)
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
What do we do training all week....
No he hasn't.
He had 30+ assists at 1 season in Chelsea.
Only way he's scored more or assisted more here is cumulative. But on average, he definitely isn't.
I see people pointing the finger at players and fair enough
we haven't had a shot on goal yet....that's a disgrace given we are weeks ahead of Bayern

Our attacking play is dire. I'm at a loss to understand how it can be so bad. What do the coaches do in training??
Andreas pererira has done ok tonight- has kep possession well when bayern press.so aggressively.
We are badly carrying Mata

Jose responding to going 1-0 down by bringing Jones, Axel and McTominay on.
That is true. But he has never influenced games for us like he did at Chelsea. And that's coming from someone who thought he was pretty good his first 2 years here.
Nothing like preparing Fosu, Jones and McT when needing to spruce up the attack.
I know this is preseason and I know players are missing, but this is the worst I have ever seen United play, and it's been a good few hours of football now. That includes all of our prior preseasons.
This is an embarrassment to United. We're incapable of even passing the ball over the f*cking halfway line. Amateur football has more coherence than this. Our youth teams look better than this.
Every single one of the players out there except Andreas has played for their senior international team.
Maybe this 'tactic' is good enough to pick up the occasional flukey point against big teams (see Arsenal last season) but it's not good enough for a club with our ambitions. This is a parody of the worst of Jose.

Bayern are miles behind us in preseason preparation.
This is a shambles all of Mourinho's making

Had a shot, winning the Prem!
Is he throwing Phil Jones at right wing?
Is Jose about to bring on 3 defesive players?
FFS
FFS
Yes, more suffering for us
If I remember right just at the time he got the United job did jose not say something like he understood that united played a particular way and that he would respect that?
In his first few weeks / months wasn’t his play not more attacking than his normal style (hence the line in the song ‘Jose’s got us playing the way united should’ which btw i hope is never sung until such times it is appropriate) but he then reverted to type in parking the bus. Is he lacking the players he needs to change his style and isn’t getting enough support from the board / glazers?
Now a goal down, we will start to play.
Going for it then?
Who would've thought that sitting back and continually allowing pressure would result in the opposition scoring.
3 defensive subs to bring extra imagination to our play
Jose bringing on Jones, tfm and Scott...he wants to bore us to death now!
Sad
Lovely players coming off the bench.
I'm just going to put all my eggs in one basket and say, I can't wait for all our other players to get back so we can at least look like a top premier league team.

McTominay! Mata really needs to have a seat there.
There aren't any forwards on the bench. Lingard and Lukaku still on hols. Martial's just got back from giving birth
I can discuss opinions. I'm trying to understand the need to place so much importance on nothing games just to fall into hysterics.
Not everything is a sign of the Apocalypse. A win v Leicester is worth more than a preseason worth of fantasy football so what really is the point in all of this?
Its not healthy.
The coaching is making them seem poorer than some of them are. I can’t take much more of this park the bus bullshit. Mourinho has become more cowardly in old age
which season was that with the actual stats? I know he's scored more for us
Damage limitations?
Time to shut up shop lads, take the 1-0 defeat and get out of here with some dignity!
A great bunch of attacking lads coming on
Our “number 10” doesnt like to run a lot, eh? Robben at 34 running a hell more than him.
it is tho, the team is playing exactly the same as last season.. and I gave up hope to see a different style of play with Mourinho at the helm. It is what it is I guess
352 coming up?
It’s going to be a long old season.
We are preparing for the big games in the upcoming season: damage control
I think the #1 thing I want from our next manager is that they use high pressing.
It's not even a 'modern' tactic anymore. Most top teams have been doing it for a decade.

Well they replaced Mata and Rashford as well as Darmian, so...
Is mctominay playing center forward? LMAO
I am pretty sure it was 2012-2013.
Yes, we will have a bad season. We dont even have the transfers and added individual brilliance to cover for our lack of any sort of attacking football
