Nothing new, this is exactly same performance from league cup games, it is mixture of few senior and reserve team members. This kind of team in no match for the decent regular professional team.

Lingard was good, never seen him play before.
Felt sorry for Kagawa came on for the last ten minutes but ball wouldnt go out of play so only got about 3 minutes.

Nothing new, this is exactly same performance from league cup games, it is mixture of few senior and reserve team members. This kind of team in no match for the decent regular professional team.Think that's a bit harsh, they've had 10 days of preseason and it was the first preseason game. It wasn't a stunning performance by any stretch of the imagination but not bad for a group of players who haven't really played togther. Lindegaard made some smart saves in goal. The defence looked a bit ropey at times but not altogther surprising considering it was Ferdinand and the youngsters around him. The full backs did a decent job, Brady got forward well, as did Vermijl and Blackett in the second half. Scholes and Carrick played alright, some nice passes and Scholes just about managed to refrain from clattering someone/everyone. Berbatov found it all a bit too easy and generally made a mockery of everyone with his touch and control. Hernandez drifted in and out a bit, particularly in the second when United got pushed back deeper. Could have scored but for a very good save. Macheda took his goal nicely, had a couple of chances but was pushed out towards the wing in the 3 pronged attack. Lingard was very bright and impressive, always wanted the ball and very energetic. Tunnicliffe and Petrucci did alright, didn't have a great deal of time, although the latter smashed the crossbar. Anderson came on, didn't get injured, did some good passes and also some not so good passes, Kawaga came on and didn't really have time to do anything. Fergie said he'd play on Saturday against Cape Town and Powell was behind on the training so probably wouldn't.

Awesome.

a 1-0 win over Amazulu makes United a laughing stock here in South Africa. Trust me on this. But hey, there’s only 10 million of the 600 odd million United fans who are South Africans (about 20% of the SA population)
Just a thought: here’s my evil plan to destroy the world:
1. build a time machine
2. travel back to 1999 and the night in the Nou Camp
3. tell the victory-celebrating United fans emerging from the stadium the name of the team who are destined to overtake United in the 2011-2012 season swallowing up an 8 point lead in order to win the EPL title in the final seconds of added on time in the final game of the season
4. wait for the fans’ thunderous sarcastic laughter, which creates such seismic shock waves it rips the Earth out of its orbit
5. leaving, of course, `nae value in the solar system’.Posted 10 months ago # -
Who cares if United are a laughing stock in South Africa? It's a pre-season friendly, it counts for the precise sum of fuck all!

I wouldn't brag too loudly about losing to that lot... even at only 0-1

Everyone knows its pre-season and this is nowhere near a strong squad. Stop spouting shit.

In fairness to Bebe, he could quite easily of fucked the open goal up...

I was at the game. 55000 Chinese knockoffs of the Man Utd kit. Uncle Malcolm must be livid.
Impressed with Kagawa. Always available for the pass and not afraid of taking on players and he tackles. Wow.
Who needs Berbatov when we got Bebetov.

Oh, let him scoff. I live in Mafikeng ( woon by Mafikeng/ke dula mo Mafikeng) in NW Province of SA and unimpressive results here DO say something g about the team (since when are Berbatov and Hernandez “third stringers”) . Already had Chelsea fans mocking me for my team’s poor performance here.

Lindegaard; Veseli, Ferdinand, Carrick, Brady; Valencia, Powell, Petrucci, Anderson; Macheda, Kagawa
No Droggles or Anelka for Shenhua (starting at least)

The fuck... they're playing now

Yeah, China time. They have a 2nd string out, playing top at the weekend so basically they are using it as a run out for the reserves. Scrapy, not a lot really happening, they've packed the midfield with 5 and we are managing to isolate Macheda well...

Oh and they have 3 wangs in the centre of midfield....

What, 3 players called Wang?
Posted 9 months ago # -
Haha something like that, it may well be be Wan, but it appealed to my childish sense of humour.
So Powell's missed a good chance but other than that it's been pretty much a training exercise of trying to get through 10 players. Petrucci has been alright and that's about it.

Very good save from Lindegaard.

So for once we're playing a midfield that has more cocks in it

boring as fuck. shanghai don't want to attack, almost all the game has been played in their half, and lindegaard has frequently been the only player in our half.
Posted 9 months ago # -
Johnston, Bebe, and Tunnicliffe for Lindegaard, Petrucci and Powell.

Kagawa, class
Kiko should score
