Thought we looked as aimless as we normally look as for Matty Cash i think he will get better he sure as hell can't get any worse.
I'm both. You're welcomeYou'd have to be seriously paranoid or incredibly negative minded to even contemplate thinking that.
I can just see Purslow explaining to Edens and Sawaris how he's sold the crown jewel of the club but don't worry because we've got a behind closed doors friendly vs the team we're selling him too. And we're even getting to play him in the game.
I've put my (reading) glasses on and sat about a foot from the TV so I can actually try and focus on any kind of detail like, y'know, who the Villa players are vs who the Utd players are - here's my HT report:
Steer - two great saves
Defence - nothing to say, not seen much of Cash
SJM - Some good work from him, looks sharp and lively
Jack - not much to say but spent plenty of time in defence as we've hardly had the ball, should have put a better quality ball in for Watkins' second goal
Hourihane - the usual strolling around non-contribution
Trez - the usual headless chicken no-composure stuff from him but a nice assist for Watkins' goal
Watkins - touched the ball three times I think - this was always likely to be the problem IMO but promising how he found so much space for his goal as he did for many last season for Brentford and he should have had a second but for a bit of a bobbly pass from Jack
Based on what I've seen so far, it's the same as last season with us having little possession and still capable of being hit fast on the break - we may have won this 1-0 today but I think if you play this 10 times then we'll lose at least 7 of them based on balance of play and chances created, 1-2 would have been a better reflection of actual play at HT IMO.
I'm both. You're welcome
Why are people reading so much into a friendly?
Do they look fit? Yes or no. That's it.... Stop the analysis there... You literally can't read anything more into friendly games than that.
P.S. Am I the only one who loves the United kit? Classic Adidas.
