0-0 at half-time but Bailly should have buried a chance he had and put us 1-0 up but he hit the crossbar.

Sanchez has had a good first half, Martial has been pretty much missing AGAIN. He wants to go according to reports and I wouldn't be too upset if he went tbh. Chong has had another decent game too.

Loads of changes for the second half for the Earthquakes, probably 10 or 11 changes I reckon.

Ended up 0-0 and not a great performance  :'(

That's two matches and two draws so far during our pre-season. >:(

Missed the match early this morning cos I fell asleep. Was planning on watching it via the Sky Sports app commentary.

Ended up 1-1 and we won the penalty shootout.

Aw bollocks, we've just gone 1-0 down against the red scouse gits after Mitchell gave away a daft penalty. :'(

And now it's 1-1. A fantastic free kick from A Pereira. That was Roy Of The Rovers stuff. He's had a great pre-season so far but I don't think he's going to see first team football, he'll end up going out on loan again.

Bollocks. We ended up getting beat 4-1 in the end. The first penalty that they got was a bit soft but the second one was just plain ridiculous lol :o ;D

Oh well, considering we've got half our squad missing we're not doing too bad in these games.

He hasn't done more than two seasons during his managerial career, has he? Or did he do 3 at Chelsea?

I don't think it's anything to worry about just yet. The red scouse gits had a MUCH stronger squad tbh and we had De Gea, Romero, Smalling, Jones, Lindelof, Pogba, Matic, Fellaini, Martial, Rashford and Lukaku missing.

The only first team players we had starting the match was Bailly, Herrera, McTominay, Mata and Sanchez, with Fred and Shaw on the bench.

Gomes has REALLY disappointed so far but Chong, Mitchell and Pereira have all been top class so far. Lee Grant has also impressed but not quite up to the standard of De Gea and Romero.

Lmfao ;D ;D ;D

Have just found out why the red scouse gits were able to kick the crap out of Sanchez and why both penalties were dodgy. It was a baseball referee refereeing the match apparently :o ;D ;D ;D :o

Darmian Bailly Smalling Shaw

Fred McTominay Herrera

Mata Sanchez Pereira

Not sure if that's how they'll start though.

Three at the back with McTominay playing as a central defender.

2-0 to United with half an hour gone, goals from Sanchez and Herrera and were both top class finishes. 8)

Benzema makes it 2-1 Just before halftime. We've been the better side but this is against a weak Real Madras side.

2-1 final score so at least we've broken our pre-season duck and won a match. I'm pretty sure that Maureen instructed his players to defend for the entire second half. Fuck knows why. :o
