Fair fucking play, that is a screamer. He can hit them sometimes, I remember a pearl vs. Southampton too.

MUTV commentators say Brentford look threatening at set pieces. They neglect to mention an under-9s side would look threatening vs. us at set pieces.

Pre seasons going splendid I see, scraping past a Derby team with about 4 professional players on their books, hammered by QPR and held by Brentford.
Not a bad thing though, continues to show that the squad is still nowhere near where we need it to be, take the 1st teamers out the picture and wheel out the likes of Matic, Perreira, Lingard, Mata, Williams, etc and look at what happens. Hopefully it's a continued wake up call to move these on and continue searching for quality to come in.

Elanga already looks a far better player than James.

I agree up to a point, but hopefully there aren’t too many games where we have to leave out the entire first team. There are some good youngsters there who can augment the first team, but I agree, the senior selections in the pre season have been shite mostly.

Don’t think it gives any indication at all of where the squad is at. Not like when we did that pre season under Moyes, took a full first team squad on tour and got beat by everyone including that Malaysian Select XI or whatever it was. Although I may have misunderstood what he was saying.

Yup, sorry if it came across as criticism of the team, was pointing out that once the first team players are missing, the results are pretty crap. I know they're only friendlies and all, but a chance for some to show their worth and force their way into Ole's thinking. Elanga seems to be doing that, the rest less so.

As an aside, Amad seems to be doing well in the Olympics too.
