Heard we are playing utd behind closed doors today... Sounds a strange one, any news?

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 10:56 am

Yep apparently happening today. I imagine it will give a few of our youngsters and Lennon some game time

Presumably the group who didnt play for the U23s last night

I gathered that tbh, it's just a peeve of mine that they get "United" when there are 15ish other teams in the top 4 divsions alone with United in their name

What is in it for us? We don't have many fringe players and I'm guessing we'll be up against the likes of Varane & Sancho.

Seems like this benefits united more, unless it is purely fitness.

Grumps · Post by **Grumps** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:04 pm

Manchester United are going to play a strong side

Grumps · Post by **Grumps** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:35 pm

Kicked off, sancho is playing

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:41 pm

From the pictures I have gathered the starting line up for Burnley is

Hennessy
Bardsley, Collins, Thomas, Pieters
Lennon, Westwood (i think), Mancini, Glennon
Barnes, Vydra

I sometimes think that some on here react like that regularly getting home after the match

burnmark · Post by **burnmark** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:47 pm

Don’t think it’s Westwood but possibly the lad who signed from United as he didn’t play in the 23s last night.

burnmark · Post by **burnmark** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:48 pm

Suggested United team.

MarkGreen · Post by **MarkGreen** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:51 pm

Lingard missed a sitter 1v1

burnmark · Post by **burnmark** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 12:55 pm

2 down. Maguire and Lingard

We’ll be lucky to get more than 10 points at this rate.

Barnes and Bailly booked

Yeah, think it'll be Helm instead of Westwood but otherwise that looks to be correct.

Heard we played 3-5-2.

Tactical exercise it seems.

burnmark · Post by **burnmark** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 2:02 pm

Rumoured full time score of 3-1 with Fred getting their other goal. Nothing found on our scorer.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 2:02 pm

Finished 3-1

No idea who scored for us

Wonder if JBG knows Lennon is trying to steal his number?

The '1' must have fallen off then. Either that, or I need to get straight down to Specsavers!

Definitely 7 and wasn’t 17 (the number is too central for a 1 to have been alongside it)

Anyone think that these behind-closed-door friendlies are going to be much more common?

With squads really bound by Covid, this would allow good competition/game time for the squad players.

when I look at that proposed ManU squad, that squad would definitely compete in the PL.

I'm all for these friendlies. It gives our youngsters a chance to play against quality opponents, keeps our squad players match fit.

It's nothing new, they happen often, but info doesn't usually get out. If we wanted to keep things quiet then we probably shouldn't have played United at Old Trafford.

Lennon scored for us according to the clubs match report.

burnmark · Post by **burnmark** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 3:22 pm

Lennon got the goal and in fact we went one up.

Stark contrast in substitutions made!

Tom Heaton playing for us again?

burnleytom · Post by **burnleytom** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 3:29 pm

Burnley: Hennessey (Heaton); Bardsley, Collins.

If only this were true....

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 3:30 pm

The report on our site says heaton came on in goal for us. Can this be correct?

burnleytom · Post by **burnleytom** » Tue Aug 17, 2021 3:30 pm

On a side note, Barnes got 90 minutes, and Vydra only 55. However, Barnes was brought on ahead of Vydra on Saturday, and one of the reasons was that Vydra was 'behind the curve' in terms of fitness. Seems a strange way round to do it, in that case.

I'm assuming you mean the club's website, if so they must have corrected it.

I was writing something for this site but took a phone call and when I got back our club had reported the game so I had to make some quick changes.

Fingers crossed that was because the instruction Stone had was to take him off then as he'll be starting against Liverpool and doesn't want him playing a full 90 today.

Sounds like a very useful outing, even if we did lose 3-1. Sean Dyche noticeably absent. Perhaps he was in France cooking an omlette?
