It's that system like the start of last season where we piss it around between the CBs and Onana before going long. Except our CBs are Maguire and Evans so it's a bit hopeless
Just stop deceiving yourselfWe're terrified of City's press, refusing to try and play through it at all. Kind of pointless going long without a focal point though.More wayward passing by Onana. That has to get cleaned up.
Even if they make an appearance, the chances of them receiving the ball to do anything with it are remote. Garnacho is naturally progressive so he will try. Zhirzee will probably have less than 5 touches.
Poor normWhy is Onana going long when the short options available!! Use your brain man. Also going long to people that can’t head doesn’t helpRashford busting a gut to get back there.I see the doom and gloom merchants have wasted no time.a matter of time until city score, unless they don’t.this is a proper friendly quality matchClear foul on EvansSo many players who should be moved on that we are stuck with and will continue to stink the place out this season
Not sure you have to be fit to pass to a red shirt. This feels very last season....Half the players aren’t fit
Reckon we’ll struggle to score goals again this season
No attacking threat in this teamThis is rubbish so far, we're not playing just trying to stop city.we are shitIt's concerning that we can't hold the ball against City's kids.This is dreadful.
Mach sharpness isn’t there.We’ve been very poorRashford looking as (dis) interested as last season.Bobb against Martinez is a mismatch. I'd prefer playing an actual fullback there and have our best centre back in his natural position.Evidently the plan is still to go direct because we've barely strung 2 consecutive passes together yetHopefully the players take this as a good run out to get some fitness before Friday. Getting outplayed so far.Rashford lacking commitment there.This is like City vs City reserves.
How?
It should have been the position of priority. The key area for a top modern side is to control midfield areas and the rest trickles from there both ways.
… Clearly the manager doesn’t see it that way and spent way more resources on two CBs, a right back, and a rotational striker.That font on their names on the back....that's so so so so bad.City are really dominating now, which was to be expected, but unlike the FA Cup, we're not transitioning well when we get the ball.That Bobb kid looks decent.Bobb is having fun against Martinez, and Casemiro and Mount have not touched the ball many times and are both out of the match so far.
harsh on city reserves.Rashford drifting off from the lad he’s supposed to be markingWe're looking ready and fired up for the season...I don’t like the look of this formation. Bruno and Mount seem too far away from Mainoo and Casemiro, so we are getting overrun in midfield. Wingers again look isolated and they are having to do too much work to cover back due to the enormous gaps in midfield.Rashford and Martinez out of position not helping us.The name fonts on that City kit are attrocious- Status
