2017 Pre Season | Vålerenga vs Manchester United

Jose doesn't want them out there pressing and running around like mad men, possibly risking injuries.

It's pre season, it's about fitness.

Seriously, how do some of you handle life?

I'm not asking for them to run around like mad men. We should be able to control a game against a team on this level and should be able to score a goal or two, or at least create a few decent chances. Is that too much to ask?
 
We are so bad in wide areas it's untrue.
Both fullback and wing positions need upgrading.
Bring Martial on. We need someone to run at players ffs.
He'll be on in the second half, but as forward.
 
I know it's important to give minutes to all players, but we are 12 days away from the start of the PL season so why is our new £75m striker not starting, so he can gel with his new team mates?
Instead we are wasting minutes on players like Fellaini. Sickening.
There's no guarantee that Fellaini is leaving and we have another game in a few days. I think Jose knows what he's doing.

Is it full time then?
 
They are a mid table team.
Currently 7th in a 16 team league.
This team would be the equivalent of a league 1 or league 2 England league team.

Attacking wise, we playing exactly as we did last season - can't score.
:lol:
 
Ball into the channel is an alien idea to our team. Nobody runs the line. Nobody.
 
Such a boring game. Them parking the bus in a friendly and us with 0 width. Perfect cocktail for a borefest. Pretty sure last time we were here it was 0-0 too.

It's the grey kit. Grey is the most drab and boring colour out of the colour spectrum. Signifies clouds, dreariness, a bleak outlook and a lack of excitement. It's the James Milner of colours. And we're playing like a team of James Milners. Coincidence? I think not.

What will be your excuse if we play like this against West Ham?

James Milner, :lol:
 
Remember a couple of years ago when we played really well and won all of our preseason matches easily including Real Madrid, then didn't get a competitive win until mid September?? It's pre-season for God's sake.

Remember we played like this last season and finished 6th?
 
We've been awful first half, no doubt about that, with the exception of Pogba and Mata.

Mkhitaryan, Blind, Fellaini don't know what the feck they're doing there.
 
Why did Mata not switch it out to Pogba then who was in loads of space? Instead he just ran inside and tried a shot that came to nothing.
 
12 days to go till the season starts?
That excuse won't wash now.
What are you saying? If we don't win this game then we should panic?

It's all about West Ham in two weeks. This evening means nothing.

Remember our games in pre season under Van Gaal? We thought we had a tactical genius after beating Real and Liverpool. Then the season started.

Pre season means nothing.

That's still no excuse for us being utterly incompetent at creating chances, never mind scoring goals. We look as threatening in the final third as sponge cake.
 
It's the 5th game into the pre-season, if they are not able put up a good attacking display now, are they going to magically pull up a good attacking display from their backside when the season starts.
 
Amazing what happens when you actually get down the outside and put crosses in. No wonder Jose wants Perisic...
