entire valencia squad warming up 
Is Welbeck with us?
Silva on the bench for Valencia?

Looks like a few changes coming from Valencia
Nice from Tosic, that last touch came off the defender which took it too far.
Thanks Vidared. Legend as always.
Tosic - great interception, good run into the box, but doesn't get a proper shot off
valencia is playing?
the player.
the player.
He hasn't really had the ball that much though. Good run as we speak.
would one of you lads please pm me a link
if anyone has a working stream please pm me. I was watching some spanish feed, but that just died on me.
Link anyone?!?
ditto
De Laet is doing well.
DeLaet tries a shot, but it's wide and weak
Ctr alt delaet
But another impressive burst to go past a couple of players, seems to have good acceleration
Valencia playing pretty football without doing much.
if anybody has a stream that is working, please be so kind as to PM me one? Justintv is being an absolute arse!
Ht 0-0
delaet ... nicely done that
ht 0-0
Been a good game, De Laet has impressed quite a bit
Da laet is having a bomber, surely this match can prove he's worth some first team games.
delaet .. the new rafael
is anderson on da bench?
Agreed. He's done very well. Carrick and Rooney both have been a bit messy with their control and passing. The rest of the team are doing well, the atmosphere sounds dead though, I can't hear any songs at all.
I have seen de laet !!
So after an annoying first halfs watching, anybody have a decent stream for the 2nd they could PM me?
De Laet looked good whenever I saw him, is right back his usual position?

De Laet is definitely looking comfortable
De Laet at RB against Birmingham - and even Chelsea?
i think we lack drive in the middle. We created some chances but I don't think the tempos that great and we lack at spark at the minute. There's no tackles in the middle, it's quite tame in that respect
I'd like to see Anderson for Carrick - just to drive forward. Fletcher is doing well. Valencia needs to be a bit more determined. It's a decent game but hopefully the second half we press them alot more

Odd game to comment on, but I will comment as so few people have got goood pictures.
For United, nobody's playing badly - DeLaet looks good, Tosic has done good things, Valencia is fast but seemed to appear less as the the half went on. Roo is almost very good. Owen is almost brilliant. Foster hasn't been tested despite Valencia actually having some excellent chances.
As I commented in the thread, Valencia look like a team that's still 4 weeks away from the start pf the season and the Spanish lads like Villa look like they've only been in training for a week (which they have).
On which basis the only complaint I've got is that United should look in control, with Carrick and Fletcher in the middle, and they don't.

Half and Half, I'm surprised Owen has n't scored from the chances
Not sure if it's the done thing in the matchday thread, so tell me if not (I'm fairly new to the mains), but just some brief first half thoughts before I grab a beer. 
- Valencia have made some pretty vicious challenges considering this is a 'friendly' - being competitive is fine, but they've gone in needlessly hard a few times
- De Laet looks impressive going forward and solid in defence
- Tosic is stronger on the ball and holds it up better than his frame would suggest
- Valencia are a pretty good passing side
- I'm impressed by Owen's knack of getting himself in goalscoring positions, already
That should do for now.

whats the score?
Valencia's acceleration is ridiculous, but he seems a bit lost out there, and has lost the ball too easy.
Tosic gets better for each game, encouraging stuff.
Much better from Rooney today. Probably his best pre-season game, though that doesn't say much.
Great game from De Laet.
Carrick's passing has been below average the last couple of games, not good Michael, not good.
