No, I didn't. I too consider it a friendly, a way of getting some mileage into the legs. That's why our record in the game down the years is pretty much irrelevant to me. As I said in the match thread, if somebody told me at 4:55 that we'd win one and lose one of our next two games, I know which one I'd take the defeat in. Do I like losing (particularly to that lot)? No I don't. But we've got far bigger fish to fry in the next 10 months.I'm delighted about them, I thought it was an interesting stat more than anything
Did you miss the part where I said it was basically a friendly?
How embrassing letting 3 goals in against Liverpool , them unable u score in their previous three finals !
And why does everyone keep calling it a pre-season friendly ?
When it 's a one off game for a trophy between the best two teams in England ?
will jesus come back at easter
No change there from spit the dolphin carragher thenthe birds voice was to high pitched to understand what she was saying for me, it was just noise
Fuck me, that attempted bicycle kick……still see it in my nightmaresyou cant talk about a " uncut diamond " like that. !
He got it from Peter Swales.What make is your telly. !
They were trying to find something to disallow it.Notwithstanding the result, what really pissed me off was VAR. HTF do they need so long to reach a decision?
If you have listened to the pool of female commentaries in the mens game they are diabolical. I tend to put them on mute. It adversely affects my enjoyment soDumbest shit I've read on here
Not really sure what the rest of your post has to do with anything, but I thought he had a decent game too. Had a good few chances, scored one although the ball had gone out so it didn't count, might have had a couple more. Not sure what more you want from a player playing his first full match in a new team.So you thought haaland had a good game don't call me a rag born and bred in Gorton followed my team all my life scrapped with the young guvs you fuckin Muppet he was shite
Who’s a goalie? Karen Carney? She was an attacking midfielderShe’s not even a fucking player. She’s a goalie. Knows nothing
The Gorton lot never got past LevenshulmeGorton lol, have you ever been to Wythenshawe?
Only problem with Ake is his height and he’s not good enough to compensate for that. I wouldn’t have been sad to see him goDecent warm-up, a bit rusty in places but played some good stuff as well. Thank goodness we held on to Ake, he’s our best defender at the moment. Glad Haaland used this game to miss his sitters, he’s going to be an absolute beast. The result is neither here nor there, could easily have gone the other way.
I think the same about Alvarez. He’s perfect for us. Good point on the adaptation. I just hope he’s able to adapt!Agree with most comments to a point but you can't change your game entirely for one player, you only have to look at what happened in Salford last season. It will all fall into place.
I have to say though, although the hype has all been around Haaland, understandably, I've been impressed with what I've seen of Alvarez last week and today. From what I've heard of him I've really been looking forward to seeing him in a blue shirt and I think he just might steal the limelight.
Pre-season or not - and without wishing to judge him too early - but he missed 2 very good chances first half and 1 sitter right at the end.Well I think it’s safe to say we’ll be buying Cucarella after that, and if we don’t pass to Haaland then the guy won’t score, think he’ll get really pissed off with Mahrez.
Liked Alvarez’s cameo, but the rest was forgettable, awful passing and a let’s hope Eric & Stones don’t get injured.
It obviously meant more to them, think they just won the World Eurovision Champions Song Contest.
Nunez looks like another perfect fit, a diving, moaning t0sser.
Onward & upward.
