I really love this pre season.
Playing top teams instead of shite.
should be a decent watch. Utd have looked really good this pre season
Would you happily lose this game to United if it meant that van Gaal was then content with his squad and wouldn't add to it before the transfer window ended?
I'd rather us win emphatically and knock a bit of their confidence. They've got a bit of the feel good factor about them right now. Remind them they're shite.
We'll do what we've done so far, put out a mixed side with kids and fringe players, so there's a safety net to fall back on should we get beat. Best way really, no pressure.

The last thing I want is for United to not do any panic transfer buying and start rebuilding quietly and confidently. I want them to panic buy someone like Veron all over again. The timing will be very right to dump them in mid table for a long time if that were to happen.
So for that reason, I want us to twat them even if it's just a pre-season game. But I don't want LVG to kill himself, as some of the other posters have mentioned...they are clearly out of theirs minds.
I mean...he could still successfully step into Moyes' shoes. Let's give him some time.
All set for Lambert's first goal to be vs United. Ideal.
How good is Herrera? I watched him a couple of times last season, and he looked to me like the Spanish Joe Allen.Herrara is a wonderful footballer though. I made a few threads about him in 2011. Kids a baller. Turns on a sixpence and first touch instigates his 2nd phase of play.
We have Sturridge, Flanno and Markovic back in the UK - injured.
