Pre-Season Friendlies

[Steve67]

Thanks for posting pictures of the goal TV.  I like the way Watkins lost his markers to anticipate the cross in.  Great move, nice goal.  Lack of physicality in midfield still needs sorting, as much as I like Duggee and SJM.

That United kit just has to be the worst i have ever seen them wear and there have been a few Nice goal by Ollie ,first of many hopefully

[Jockey Randall]

I know we won, but on another day we could have conceded 3 or 4 at HT. The midfield still can’t retain the ball. Jed Steer has been superb.

We weren't on it first half but we were much better 2nd half. Some good performances but the standout was McGinn for me, some of his long range passing was top draw.

There are some clips (including the goal) on this thread, but hold your nose - it's Red Cafe.

I noted with interest that Cash was replaced by Elmo.  With Guilbert sat on the bench.  I reckon he’s off.

I dont like this, penalty to Manchester United.

First half showed that against the best sides in the division, we're still going to be spending a lot of time in our own half without much of the ball. Second half showed me that against the rest, we'll be taking the game to people and giving as good as we'll get. Get Martinez, Rashica and Traore in and we improve on that. Add in a robust DM too, fingers crossed, and it's onwards and upwards for the mighty Villa.

Deano's not that stupid. Expect Freddie to be playing on the left later this month.

Was lucky enough to get a press pass today through a
Media Pal and be there, there’s definitely an air of confidence with the lads, we look very fit also.
Can’t wait for a week Monday.

Looks like Cash took a roasting in that first half!

[Risso]

It’s only highlights of a friendly I suppose, but Cash looked awful.

[malckennedy]

Were the highlights produced by MUTV? If so, they will have been selected from their perspective. That is, the bits their fans will enjoy.

[PeterWithe]

We looked a bit frail defensively down our right hand side
