We struggle to keep the ball because on the rare occasions we have possession, our players are so deep that we struggle to find that out ball to counter Bayern.

Manchester City Miami Gardens, Florida, United StatesIt's a friendly ffs, get a grip.
Jose seemed a bit coy when asked about Boateng.
It was the last century.
We pressed them into making a mistake, then we give the ball away.
Sigh

Extremely disappointing for a team that puts so much emphasis on defence to give away a goal at a set piece. Maybe Bailly going off disrupted the organisation but it really wasn't good enough.
We're not really in this game. Our plan to sit back and counter wasn't executed well and now we're just sitting back and waiting for full time. The midfield players really need to show more composure under pressure. They're very panicky and Bayern players are finding it easy to get the ball back high up the pitch.

He can't win.
Carrick always has the same look on his face that Giggs used to have when he was sitting beside LVG.
Have we had more than 5 shots on target in almost 6 pre season games?

Why can't he just bring youth attacking players in as subs? What's the point of these subs?
One thing that confuses me when we play like this is whether or not Jose is actually content / happy with the way we're playing and our approach.
He's looking great with his new cut, one of the few positives from preseason.
Probably nodded off there for a second
We can't make excuses. Mourinho is going into his third season. By now, we should not only have a discernible footballing identity, but also we should have some kind of consistency in terms of how fluid we are are working within the system. All I hear is, "I don't have the players to play my football".
Last season attack was our weak link, it looks like it will be again.
Why are we supposed to be signing a defender when attacking the away goal is our problem?
This season will be awful and I can see Jose going after giving us another dreadful few months of terrible defenceless football.

I miss Van Gaal. At least he was funny.
We had an attacking threat with SAF in his last few seasons even if the football wasn't 'pretty'.
We scored 80+ league goals in his last 2 campaigns. Jose's not even come close to that. Our attacking threat is arguably the worst from the big 6 in the Prem.
And the Mourinho wants to buy a top class left back: "he should be able to get much more from our world class players".
We are playing against a much better team in fairness, so not surprising. The centre backs have looked OK tonight. That's about it.
Heh, McT as striker? Genius
He's Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and donating to the poor.
Random comment: PSG fielded a team full of kids and they were very impressive tactically and technically.
You're right but I'm not talking about just one season
Luke shaw has lost all impetus as a player. He is mentally shot.
I agree with you. We are trapped on the edge of our box most of the time. We get the ball and they are on top of us and the ball is lost again.
Well. Maybe not inches..
Yawn, we are wank!
Cancel the season

You came to this conclusion in preseason in a match with almost no first team players? Ok.
I wonder what the excuse will be next when Pogba and Lukaku are back and we're no longer in pre-season and we still carry on playing this tumescent cowardly style of football.
I think he's done aright within context. The context being that we're constantly under pressure, hoofing it from the back and the other 2 CMs look even less composed.
Streams gone off and I can't even be arsed getting it back on
Exactly. To make things worse the team was desperately parking the bus to draw this game, as if it was a UCL knock-out game. Well, it didn't work.
I don't understand this. We've had fantastic pre seasons before and flopped massively when the season starts.
These games don't really signify anything. They may as well be forgotten as soon as they're finished IMO.
Aren't most games like these? You don't get great pre season games all that often for a reason.
If going to church resulted in United making a signing then I think many of us atheists would reconsider our position on the subject
He's been here 3 summers now. He should have bought one.
It’s been like this progressively over the past 6 months. Today just optimising this.
I mean if it's cumulative, then yeah Mata's scored more/assisted more for us, because he's simply played more for us.
But on average, it's not really close. Statically, Mata at Chelsea was far superior.
Just get the kids on, just want to see something different now.
Just cleared 10 levels on Angry Birds without looking up at the TV once. Best my high score on one of them.
Its Mourinho's preference of football, you know and not the quality of players. If Mourinho thinks his public moaning about not get to workhorses in wide areas is the reason for our failure narrative will hold any water then no one is buying it anymore.
Why do our players have no first touch?
