Yeah, Iqbal caught my eye, very good on the ball.
I don't want to overreact but we're obviously on course to win the league now.
Poch FC has a sizeable following on the caf.
Yes. I felt he and Iqbal looked tidy. I'd like to see them partnered with Fred/McTominay next game.
They've really signed the uruguayan andy carroll.
Im sure he will get his fair share of tap ins and what not just because of salah and co., but feck me is he looking like a downgrade on mane.
Come on. Rashford looked much improved in his general play from last season. Much better. Ran more, looked faster.
Every manager makes a difference especially a good one
Just watched the highlight, fantastic stuff! 
it highlights to me though the sheer lack of depth we have in certain positions if we are going to have to rely on kids, especially up front, to balance out the season
i think a kid like savage or zidane would be able to handle himself playing alongside more seasoned players but the attacking guys are definitely short of experience and quality
certainly understandable ETH wanting to bring in a mid or two plus at least one attacking player

Very calm on the ball and knows what he's doing next
Perhaps we do have some good players after all eh?
Funny thing is that Liverpool looked worse with their best team on the pitch
Treble, treble! Alas, can't do Champions League, but does Europa League still count as a "treble"? 
Haha, my dad had a Nissan Sunny when I was a kid in the early 90s, 86 model I think. It was definitely... plain looking
Don't mean to bring down your optimism, but a "good player" is the one that can do well all season, in 30+ games. Even Pogba was world class for one game a season
I think Bailly is a good example here. He was amazing today, but when the season starts he will probably be injured most of it and we will never benefit from his goodness. So he needs to be sold, despite clearly being very talented.I know, that was a scary prospect to me.
Exactly and the new manager may be able to bring out their good qualities and others didn't
This is a genuine rebuild year.
Unfortunately we might struggle a bit when the going gets heavy and we can't rotate as well, but for me it's about getting the foundations laid, aim for CL and then get our targets to challenge next year.
If we can get FDJ in this year that will be a huge help. Definitely some sort of reinforcement in striker even if it's a young one if Ronaldo goes.
A bit rusty?
If it was anyone else? No. When it's United? Its the only treble that counts this season.
Good scoreline but these early pre season games generally go the way of the team that has had the most training, with us being a week ahead of Liverpool.
The James Webb telescope has just managed to capture both sides of Fred's smile after his "wonder" chip
So how many points are we winning the league by then
It's important we keep ourselves grounded and don't take too much away from this pre-season friendly. Now how are we celebrating #21?
Well we wouldn't have won if Liverpool fielded their strongest side from the start - but it still felt damn nice
I agree, their 1st half team looked much better and were causing us a few problems.
First trophy of the season!
That was fun
100% rebuild year both from a player perspective, given the number of experienced players that left this summer, but also the integration to what ETH wants from the lads.
If he's able to bring in a couple quality players like FDJ and Anthony then that would obviously help a lot. My hope is that his primary focus is on the league and let the young kids play in all the cup matches including the europa until the games start coming thick and fast.
Anyone have a working link to highlights?
In the first half in our stronger 11 there was a definite willingness to run and a sharpness in the front 3 of martial, rashford and sancho. We forced a lot of mistakes out of them by pressing. I even thought MCFred were looking better on the ball and our players seemed to be finding space and using the ball better. And this was all the same players as past year.
second half not so good and descended into a tippy tappy nothingness. Thought there was a drop off in quality and we werent moving the ball as well.
Quintuple!!!!!
I wonder if this game has changed ETHs mond on some players?
Probably keep Eric based on this performance. AwB is as advertised. I am sure Iqbal will be kept in the squad or at least sent on loan. He did really well. So composed for someone with so little experience.

One man threat from Diaz in the 1st half. He is electric.
We did start the game with perhaps out strongest XI atm., they didn't, but who cares. Always nice to thrash them
Hopefully this means better days for us are coming

This is not about manager. It is about letting some players go who didn’t help the team. Hopefully this will lead to more professional team.
Pre season or not. Always nice beating Liverpool.

But a Nissan Sunny is at least reliable
We still have FDJ, Erikson, Martinez, Antony and Ronaldo to come. This is not a false dawn. Fingers crossed.
Do you not know what 'treble' means?
