You're thinking too much about it.
Lost all midfeild control with fellani and Carrick.
Matic was the best player in the first half.
I miss Matic
Darmian looks awful now, If we have changed system he was better in the old one. It has to be Matic/Pogba and Herrera. Amazed he didn't try it.
Perhaps this season it will be, it wasn't in Chelsea nor at the beginning of our last season. Hope not, to be honest. Much prefer this 3-5-2 experience.
Do we really look like a team that's going to challenge for the title? I am starting to believe that we have made the wrong player purchases, except Matic who looks like a decent buy.
not convinced by our team/squad at all
hopefully a better showing against Real next week

A tale of two halves this
This plonker waving for a card in a friendly 
Honestly that should be Carrick's last season in the club. Sorry but he has nothing more to offer on the pitch.
This 2nd half squad is crap.
This second half has been actual herpes.
a wave going through the stands. who let all those Americans in?
Lukaku is a wrong purchase?
Let's not forget we're playing two mixed teams in either half.
Next week against Madrid we'll be starting our sole best 11 players. Expect players from team A and B to complete the final line up. There's not one match in preseason thus far where we've done that.
Of course whether that's enough to beat Madrid is another matter.

Last year should've been his last year. If he starts premier league games, he'll be a liability.
Agreed. We should just pack it all in and watch the cricket. No point in this season.
We are going to have the same issue as last season we arent going to score enough goals, it seems so difficult to create and score we dont have that fluidity in the final third. Looks like we will be reliant on lukaku to score all the goals
Yep because in the league we won't change the whole midfield during the game.
Jose's been here a year now...still have no idea what his 'style' or preferred systems are.
This looks like a random group of players that happen to have showed up on a pitch together.
One of the many, many things you've gotta give Fergie is that the personnel mattered far less than the system - players seemed to get what they were supposed to do.

It's not who we bought it's who we had!
No Timfosu Mgnsah today?
Lindeloff is pony compared to Phil 'The Power' Jones.
Alex Tunazbee - when the feck did we sign him?
Oh so he didn't fall down while trying to clear the ball resulting in him not getting a proper touch on the ball which made his clearance fall right to an opposing player?
Just find it odd that we will do it one game before the season starts. Matic has to start if he can.
Been saying this for a while. He was nowhere near his effective self for the most part last season, I was surprised he was extended and given the armband.
This second half is like watching England v Iceland. I cannot believe the number of errors we are making.
You mean number Turdy Sex
Romero is going to play against Madrid I reckon.
He's clearly got pace and power but I guess the question is whether he offers enough craft to deal with all the teams that will sit back and wait for us to break them down.
Since Valencia didn't play last game, he should have more minutes.
What is it with 4-4-3 that every time we deploy it either as the primary formation or switch to it from a working formation we turn to shite?
Or is it just me?
Or is it just me?
Aside from Matic theres no noticeable upgrade.
Zlatan cancels out Lukaku
Rojo out injured cancels out Lindelof.
Matic will be a great purchase but I don't see this team scoring 30 more goals in the league. It's still a distance away from top 4 let alone the title.
Martial
I think he changed the system because we weren't pressing well enough high up with Mata instead of Mkhi.
What was Fergie's system?
