Am I the only one who doesn't think we look much better than last year?

You really judging us based on a pre season friendly? Wow we have some negative fans.

What else can I judge us on at the moment? I simply don't think we have bought as well as the numbers suggest, plus we have lost Lukaku. That's being honest not negative.

Pre season is not about results though. It's about building fitness and chemistry between the players. Fair enough if your not happy with our transfers (although personally I'm really happy so far) , but I think it's unfair to say we have regressed based on a friendly.

Stop judging and be patient. Or at least compare pre seasons. I'm pretty sure Sandros first 45 was a whole lot better than Niasse last summer when he was falling over his own feet. We are also much fitter. Come on lad, you need to understand the real importance of pre season games.

We don't look better than last year?
Did you watch Rooney today? He was a huge improvement on any single player who played last season. And the partnership with Sandro looks like it could really be something.

Last year we had one goal threat, and when he couldn't be bothered we didn't score. Now I think we have more goal scoring players who aren't obsessed with trying to play balls behind the oppositions defence and will attack themselves.
That alone means we look better, on top of which we now have a top drawer goalkeeper, a quality CB and more depth in the squad.

I've got to agree, other than rooney playing left forward, none of the signings would have got in the team last year. squad looks a bit stronger tho.
