You know...I'm starting to hate Kagawa due to the amount of times I've seen him today and in the previous game.
 
Well haven't exactly se the world on fire during this pre season have we

Januzaj has shown why he's with the first team, Lingard has carried on his good performances from last pre season, Zaha seems to have fitted straight in, Welbeck has found his shooting boots and every game has been played at a high intensity - I'd say it's been a good pre season so far.
 
Even missing actual real-time chances because of replays now :lol:
 
True. It's also worth noting, i suppose, for people worrying about Arsenal and Chelsea thrashing everyone they're playing, that they're still facing national league XIs (Indonesia XI, Malaysian XI etc), which are significantly worse than top Japanese teams like Osaka and Yokohama
Didn't Arsenal also play some japanese team and won? They're winning now too, just saying. There's no point of making up additional excuses, we all know it's pre-season.
 
I know its only a pre-season friendly, and in the grand scheme of things means naff all....but to lose 3 games in 4 is hardly brilliant.

Exactly. I remember a pre season we did set the world alight...2003 pre season.

22 July 2003 Celtic N 4–0 Van Nistelrooy 7', Giggs 27', Solskjær 39', Bellion 72' 66,722
27 July 2003 Club América N 3–1 Van Nistelrooy 46', Forlán (2) 48', 80' 57,365
31 July 2003 Juventus N 4–1 Giggs 24', Scholes 57', Van Nistelrooy 60', Solskjær 79' 79,000
3 August 2003 Barcelona N 3–1 Forlán (2) 25', 36', Van Nistelrooy 85'
68,396​

The FA Cup saved our season...because otherwise we were poor.

We beat Barca in a recent pre-season match, and it didn't make us Champions of the Cosmos; likewise, losing a few games here won't turn us into FC Rubbish.
 
If we go into the new season with Adnan and Lingard as part of the first team squad, along with Zaha , I',m going to enjoy this coming season whether we win a trophy or not, they are all three great to watch, and very much embody what the club is all about.
 
I know it isn't important in pre-season but, for a new manager especially, winning is a habit you want to get into as quickly as possible.
