2017 Pre Season | Real Madrid vs Manchester United

The worst shootout since we lost to Sunderland in the League Cup. We won. Now for the important stuff: Ander Herrera's injury diagnosis...
 
Felt like trying to take penalties in Fifa 17 for the first time that did.
 
At least Madrid can use the excuse that their reserves were taking the pens. What's our excuse?
 
Wow. That was one of the worst penalty shootouts I've ever seen. Very little quality in most of those efforts. Terrifyingly awful. Still, it's nice to get the win, even if it is a completely meaningless game.
 
In before the "why are we so bad at penalties" thread.
 
I dunno, there's nothing about him that says to me "yup, he's a Man United quality midfielder" . . . Even though, on recent evidence, he's exactly our level of midfielder . . . Somebody early said as much - he doesn't take up good positions, doesn't ask for the ball, apart from one decent cross to Fellaini doesn't do anything inspiring with it, bunch of sideways passes is all. He's tall, and that's about it.
He did alright for a young lad just breaking into the first team. No one said he set the pitch on fire.
 
Holy shit, this had to have been made up. 10 random guys on the street could have done better!
 
That looks like when me and my mates make it to penalties on FIFA...actually scratch that, we're better. Also, eat shit Perez.
 
I cannot stop laughing. That was fecking hilarious. And the fact that we won that shoot out makes it even more funny. :lol::lol:

Pens are fecked this year tbf
 
Terrible shoot out. Good first half, terrible second. Good workout, injury again. When I wait in great anticipation for a match, those aren't the first things that come to my mind in terms of expectation. Guess reality is always worse than fantasy.
 
Was like watching some random people from the crowd for half time entertainment. :lol:
 
Main thing that stuck out to me that half was the difference Valencia makes. I swear I didn't see us attacking down the right once before he came on

If we had a proper backup LB helping the LW we would look so much better

There shouldn't be any excuse for a professional footballer from 12 yards. Fair enough the nerves of a CL final but in a bloody friendly.
 
Did the heat affect both teams players during the shootout or what ?

I couldn't fecking stop laughing during it.

That terrible match looked like worth it at, at least I had a good laugh. :lol:
 
Pretty sure we lost some American fans because of that shootout. Most anti-climatic penalty shootout in history.
