I have this feeling deep down inside that Sean Longstaff will still be starting by Christmas
And?
It’s a warm up game. Nice to win but not the main aim of the game.
No need to panic.

I agree but the main aim was to sell the club in Japan.
Us not winning does not affect this! It’s the off field things that sells itself to the country
Surely it's both
Playing **** won't make a young person watching think it's fun.
Neither will they think that by joining a forum full of bedwetters
They will learn the hard way like the rest of us in the end.
Then Howe will get himself sacked. It’s a win win, the best XI is obvious, our subs too, we just need better people than Graeme Jones in the back room which we now have.
Better than Graeme Jones? He’s one of the best coaches out there you mad bastard
He needs reinforcements but the Longstaff Burn thing needs to stop when the season starts.

Obviously this.
There's simply no correlation between how pre-season goes and how the season goes. You want to get your players fit, to bond as a team and hopefully avoid injuries. On the training ground and behind the scenes you work on tactics and then try a few things out - systems, certain players in certain positions. If they fail and you lose or play badly then you learn from it and are simply glad it happened in pre-season than in a game that matters.
Most importantly. The players aren't giving it 100% in the games, risking injury and running themselves into the ground. The best players aren't all playing for all the games. If we wanted to just win these games we would. This isn't complicated and I'm surprised that anyone doesn't get that.
Man Utd aren't going to care that they lost to Rosenberg and then Arsenal. They are going to care that they got a couple of players injured in the process.
Just remember I said Steve Bruce would be the manager to replace Rafa before Rafa left.
Southgate is a strong possibility
