Man Utd - The Gaalacticos thread

First topic message reminder :

John wrote:Can see the same thing happening with Kroos, when Bayern stump up the wage & then the pressure will be on Moyes massively, after constantly telling everyone that he's been given the nod by these agents that these players wanted to come to United.

He shouldn't be saying things like that IMO. Just making things harder for himself.

Ok ta. will find elsewhere then- whens kick off?

by The Special Juan Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:22 pm

16 minutes ago. Streaming through unibet and bet365 websites I think.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:24 pm

Mutv, I bought the streaming pass on united website.

The quality of the stream is poor unfortunately.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:24 pm

yep got it ta lads.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:29 pm

5/2/3 when defending, high line and keeper sweeping.

Pinched the ball a few times.cleverly given it away in bad positions twice already.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:30 pm

Drinks break!!

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:38 pm

Not exactly game of the pre season....

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:43 pm

Aye pile of rubbish.

Lot of flaws in the system already, mata (won't play when rvp is back) just doesn't press at all. So Rooney and welbeck have to come in to him leaving loads of space on the flanks to be exploited.

Don't think mata does enough as a no 10 either.

Great strike from Rooney.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:43 pm

that was class by rooney.

great goal - against the run of play.

why doesnt he do that for england?

by The Special Juan Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:44 pm

Lloris would be a great signing under this system Whistle

I get the feeling van Gaal and Neuer would be best pals. Did he coach Neuer at BM or did they sign him after LVG left?

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:45 pm

To be fair though Roma are just doing the same thing over and over- long ball after long ball trying to find the striker over the top- it is a bit basic.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:46 pm

Oh my days- what a goal Mata and great ball by Rooney

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:46 pm

That's what we want from mata, so much ability just needs to apply it.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:48 pm

2 of the best goals you will see. shame it looks like i am watching it via VHS

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:48 pm

The official stream is as bad.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:51 pm

And now it has dropped completely.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:51 pm

transmission down. odd

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:53 pm

i think rooney just scored a penalty.

by The Special Juan Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:53 pm

3-0 - Roo pen

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:54 pm

Shambles this.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:54 pm

This is a different broadcaster now I think.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:56 pm

well this team is certainly clinical-Rooney is having serious fun out there.

It would have been nice to see the build up to the penalty though!

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 10:58 pm

Fair play to them, good few goals.

Roma probably less advanced in terms of pre season serie a normally starts 2 weeks after pl.

Interesting all the same, herrera not as good tonight.

by **Hero** Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:01 pm

Roma aren't a bad side at all either, beat Liverpool last week and can play some very attractive football, probably the best in Serie A. Just hope Vidal's watching somewhere.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:03 pm

Dunno if he can afford the Mutv sub and heard he's still on dial up- signed up to a cheap 36 month subscription.

by **Hero** Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:04 pm

He's still on holiday, they'll probably have one of those dodgy Norwegian channels showing it.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:07 pm

Might as well just hand united the title and play for second place Wink

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:08 pm

4 men ahead of Rooney and cleverly coming from deep when he struck that- big difference from last year.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:11 pm

Quite like paddy Crerand as a pundit, no airs or graces- like one of those older gents you can bump into down the pub but he really knows his stuff. And just the right amount of bias too.

Lol he's not that bad and he is on Mutv!!

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:24 pm

Wow Adam ljajic on, we were meant to sign him at one point along with tosic then it all went wrong.

Plenty of tenuous links in this game.

by The Special Juan Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:26 pm

Is Kjaer still at Roma? Whistle

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:36 pm

Hernandez on for cleverly.

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:42 pm

Smalling being much more aggressive in his play- something he needs to do as he is a physical specimen but not blessed with technical ability.

What a goal from Roma.

by mystiroakey Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:43 pm

What!!!

Great goal-

by Ent Sat Jul 26, 2014 11:55 pm

Not the best game, heat lots of subs etc but 3 of the best goals you'll see. Top class those.

by sportform Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:12 am

I did say during the World Cup that one player to watch out for this season from the tournament was Miralem Pjanic.

I am also looking forward to seeing Phil Jones at centre back this season. He has loads of potential when playing there for Blackburn and feel he make a major step forward if he gets a run as a centre back under Louis Van Gaal.

by Ent Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:13 am

Amos looking clumsy and unable tic going for that strike.

Only pre season but some contrast to last year, losing and struggling to Asian all star sides.

by Ent Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:15 am

I think smalling will properly break through sportform, jones quite frankly lacks any sort of footballing talent.

Woeful technique, Wreckless, injury prone. Not a great combination. There's a very good reason he hasn't nailed down one position.

by Ent Sun Jul 27, 2014 11:17 am

So inter beat real on penalties leaving us top of our group on 3 points, inter with 2, real 1 and Roma 0.

The main implication of topping the group being paying in the final I.e. An extra game and travelling.

by **Hero** Sun Jul 27, 2014 11:33 am

I was it was just round robin without a final?

by Ent Sun Jul 27, 2014 11:51 am

Says there is a final on united website.

http://internationalchampionscup.com/schedule/sch/

Appears there is one. Could play city in it lol.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:32 pm

There is a final and I think United will play an English side most likely.

by Ent Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:35 pm

Inter, Real, possibly another match in US, then Valencia at old trafford and that wraps up pre season.

I wonder how good the preparation is given how long they spend travelling and doing commercial stuff on this tour.

by Ent Sun Jul 27, 2014 5:38 pm

Especially for you Mysti - only one player on tour has not been used yet...

ZAHA!
