Tonight's first half team:

So the likes of Bailly, Lindelof, Pogba, Martial, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku etc. are all second half?

FF already (H)

Mou said we'll be playing with 3 Central Defenders, interesting!

Really hope it's not something we're pursuing. Also makes little sense, Lingard LWB? Looks a 4 with Blind LB to me. Let's see though

Wouldnt read to much into the first few games formation wise. Will just be trying to fit players in to get them equal game time.

Good calm finish Rashford. Not even 2 minutes played. Nice start, hopefully see a few more

Rashford !!!! Great start and great tackle from Lingard

Looks a fair bit bigger and faster. Lads look really fit and sharp!

Rashford 2-0. Great break up play by Herrera and nice little through ball from Juan. Rashford very composed again. Don't like 352 tbh.

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Quality from Lingard. Very good finish from Afroman. 3-0

Should of been 3 for Rashford there. Smalling goal ruled offside

 

[Vanjagl]

Some things dont change, eh Marcus XD

That Rashford miss gave me flashbacks of last season.. missing absolute sitters.. :'(

Last season he would have missed all 3

Good save to deny Lukaku! Lindelöf looks classy on the ball.

Lindelöf misses a sitter on his debut. Periera deadball set pieces are really good. 4-0 Martial with the assist Mky slots home nicely.

5-0 Martial with the assist from TFM. The bail from Pogba to TFM **** worthy!

That tody little turn by Pereira made 3 players nearly fall over, nice. Shame we conceded however.

5-0 Martial with the assist from TFM. The bail from Pogba to TFM **** worthy!

 

[Theatre of dreams]

5-1 Dos Santos. TFM caught up the pitch Bailly trying to cover leaving Lindelöf exposed. 5-2 shambles of defending from a corner.

 

[RedUnited]

Lineup for those who didn't watch the game!

The first names played 45' min and the rest got subbed in at HT.
Demi Mitchell got subbed in for Mensah in the 85th.

Quick review.

FIRST HALF. 10/10
Was great, scored 3 brilliant goals. And everything from defense, midfield to attack looked absolutely great, a mix of possession, high pressure and counter attack. Complete performance!

SECOND HALF. 4/10
Bad half, Scored 2 goals but conceded 2 absolute **** goals.
But we can blame that on pre-season, new players, new formation and new positions for some players.

• Lukaku had 2 bad shots but other than that he did great in his role, absolute beast. Was unlucky to have Martial next to him.(Martial took some bad decisions in shots where he could've passed etc..)

• Pereira played lone DM with Pogba and Mkhitaryan in front of him, was great in build up play with great technique and passing. But his defensive side of the game wasn't very good. But it's nice for him to see the game from another PoV!

• Lindelöf AKA Iceman! Calm, composed, fast and confident! Liked him a lot!

Could write more but too tired! Roll on next pre-season game on Tuesday morning(?) same time.
