Poor first half with no pressure, intensity, pressing and just overall lethargic it seems. Quite expected since Schneiderlin, Ibrahimovic, Rooney and Martial were all playing for the first time and barely had much training (ok Rooney has had this but he's generally a slower starter anyway so him looking off was also expected).

Brought the overall energy of the game down a whole lot and it really reminded me of LVG's football where the opposition dominated the ball and us just sitting there, trying to figure something out.

Shaw looks rustier than I'd have hoped with his passing and overall game but he's been out of football for so long, so it goes in line with what Mourinho said too I suppose.

Second half it showed that the team had more fitness, drive, desire, cohesion and pressure too as we pressured/pressed and really played football with intensity and purpose. Even Rooney looked more mobile in the team as a result so that's good too.

Our defending needs to be sorted still I'd say. More fitness and cohesion needed along with intensity we have seen from the second half of two games.

Still a lot of work left clearly.

And for the love of god, better set piece defending...

Yes, that's why I said that initially. To cover all aspects of defending mainly.

They also don't really look like a unit despite playing together and being fitter than the other members of the first half squad too.

That's the main worry I suppose for me. The set piece part is just.... Not sure if it was one off or not for the moment though. Hopefully.

I wonder what Mou said during half time. Players were very different - maybe it's the difference in player chemistry. First half there were new players but second half it was last years squad basically that stepped up and were more aggressive and even more passionate I say. Great second half, and hope the new players adapt asap. Mkhi seems like a player who needs a little long time to adapt to a new league

First half was players who are probably guaranteed first teamers (Ibra, Martial, Mkhi, etc) but who were playing their first game back or are adjusting to the new team. Second half was players who already know each other, have had a few games and more training together, and are probably the ones who are playing for their chances to stay at the club and in the first team; players like Fellaini, Young, Lingard, Mata...players with points to prove, hence a more passionate display.

Conspiracy theory: Maybe Mou sold Mata to United so that he'd have a point to prove and perform better when Mou arrived.

Hope we get another game in before the season, even a behind closed doors one, team looks like it needs it

The Rooney testimonial is up in a couple of days. Might have an intra squad game next week I guess.

Rooney testimonial in a few days at least. Pre-season in China really fucked up this season's preparations.

I think that one missed game really was the main issue. They trained quite normally otherwise though didn't they?

They also had to switch stadiums because of weather conditions at one point I think, before that missed game against City.
