Manchester United v Sevilla FC - Rio's Testimonial

Jake should have stuck to presenting F1
 
Man alive, some of the comments here over a friendly.

Fair comment but its not just this game is it? We've looked completely shit all pre season. The league starts next week, while I don't expect us to be in top form from day 1 we should surely be at a higher level than this.
 
Wayhey Lingard and Jones. Love a good Jones face, feck me Moyes looks pissed off! Face like thunder on him :lol:
 
Didn't I read somewhere Tinchy Stryder is going to play? How can that make it serious at all?
No idea about that. I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is to take it seriously for 60-70 minutes and then make it more traditional fun testimonial.
 
Tbh the season is starting very very soon and although there are many players out there that might not be part of our first XI the way we are playing is a bit worrying. Beeing a friendly didnt stop Chelsea or Bayern to look brilliant at times so far.

We played some spectacular stuff again AIK or have we forgotten that already?
 
Only four proper starters from last season and one of them is playing his first preseason game - Rio, Kagawa, Valencia and Cleverley.

You can't deny we've been shit...

I'm not saying it has any indication on how our season will go, just stating that it's fairly obvious how bad we've actually been.
 
This is where Fellaini(:nervous:) would be handy. Him playing just behind Cleverley and Ando would be a good set up imo, for when Carrick is injured/rested.
 
Rio's halftime surprise was clearly subbing on Phil Jones.
 
Is that Phil Jones in midfield I see? Oh dear...

Obviously not seeing that we have let in goals easily. Has a point but would be interested if we start the season poorly. Then it'll be "but we have a history of starting slowly". Red-tinted specs indeed...
 
Owen with a bit of name dropping there, "I had a conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo once..." oh la la...feck off Owen.
 
According to Hargreaves Sevilla look like Barca with all the triangles they are playing here tonight...right...
 
Perhaps the surprise is that we coaxed Olly Murs to OT on the assumption he'd be playing but, in truth, he was just used as a punching bag for the players at half time and Rio will shortly be parading his lifeless corpse around the pitch. On a big stick. On fire.
 
Hargreaves want every squad member to get a medal. There's a surprise.

Also seems like both commentators are completely unaware that the rule has already been changed. Unsurprisingly, really.
 
Did Hargeaves ever miss out on a medal through injury? Sounds bitter.

Actually, maybe with City?
 
Oh you can hear Hargreaves bitter over the medals :lol:
 
Problem is that whenever we had bad games it was never the midfields fault, when obviously it was. Paddy Crerand always blamed the defence, but that's a former midfielder talking for you.
