jono Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Just need a goal. This looks a tidy team, knocking about, mixing it, some pace and moving the balland …. Getting in the box a bit more now too. Come on lads give us a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 10 minutes that I was able to watch we looked alright but suffered from similar issues that plagued us at the back end of last season. A lack of a goal threat going forward and struggling for penetration. Ten minute expert figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Very happy with the first half an hour especially given it's the first pre-season friendly, it must be damn hot out there, these guys won't have played together much and whilst it's hardly United's first team, and they must have few gears to move up, there is still plenty of expensive talent on the pitch for them. angieram, Tyler Durden and RoyMac5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Morrison looks smart and composed in the ball. Aluko showed some very neat touches and bit of skill to help set up a chance which Lawrence just nodded over the bar - probably should of scored. I said yesterday the result doesn’t matter but Derby really need to set down a marker in terms of style, organisation etc and so far we are doing that. Some good movement, winning the ball back, pressing quite high. LeedsCityRam, angieram and r_wilcockson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 So far: Ravel Morrison - Takes risks with the ball, passing it forward or playing sly passes to keep possession. Doesn't look like a rusty player at all. He's pairing really well with the Shinnie and Bird in midfield. Sone Aluko - He can be seen all over the pitch at the moment, loads of energy, switching from the wings to number 10. Has tracked back and acted as a second full back a couple of times. Looks to be confident with both feet, first impressions is he's a really good player. Sam Baldock - Constantly running past the defence and on the shoulder of the defenders. It's nice to have a striker who isn't constantly dropping back to receive the ball. Phil Jagielka - Not seen too much as he's done anything wrong, looks solid enough and has paired well with Davies. Overall we're dominating the ball, we're playing more attacking-minded, whenever we attack we mostly just have Davies and Jagielka back. We're comfortably playing out from the back and retaining possession too. Apart from Birds mistake that lead to the goal we haven't looked like we're being troubled. jono, r_wilcockson, angieram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they changed the algorithm and they looked a shambles. I've often wondered why and now you can inform me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a first team however one player cost 48,000,000 alone.

Carl Sagan Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 From a corner that's a lovely mid-air back heel volleyed flick by Jagielka, just 4 yards out, after Curtis wins the header. But a good save from Heaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney before the game said the first 11 would be playing 60mins and then he'd make 8-9 changes at the 60 min mark. It'd be weird to play these players and build their fitness up if he wasn't planning to keep them. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Ram Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Guess this new ‘style’ Rooney was talking about is playing out from the back. Our defensive half was watered heavily before the game. Nothing on the offensive half. Bird and Shinnie keep dropping in between the centre backs to pick up the ball when there’s nothing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch to the other side and I imagine it would throw you off. I don’t know because I’ve never played centre back, but it’s what you hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to get permission from the EFL to do so and, at the moment, that looks like close to whatever the opposite of a foregone conclusion is.
