Martinez, Sancho, Ronaldo, Bruno, Eriksen should be enough to play good football against nonetheless good team with very promising manager.Just have no hope for this season. Yet another manager, yet another summer filled with excuses for why key targets haven't signed despite few options upfront and McFred in midfield.
Maybe this next year, or the year after that
They always do it, the first game whoever it is just about gets ignore for the main course.Christian Bruno connection will surely be interestingSurprised that Iqbal and Hanibal are not on the benchInteresting, ETH saying it will mostly be Eriksen playing in striker position with Bruno occasionally also moving into that slot. Sounds like Rashford is on the left in any case.
Who pissed in your cornflakes?If we do any better than 4-0 then we have proof that we have improved since Ralf left!
EDIT: Ole! Since Ole left! Dangit.You've go to love the "england is a different league" when it's been shown statistically Eredivisie has more tall players
Kudos.Dalot is one of the worst defenders in the league, he needs upgrading immediately. If Brighton goes anywhwere its down our right flank.
When Ronaldo was benched against Everton Ole got a near infinite amount of shit.
Ten Hag benches Ronaldo = Applause.
What changed? Ronaldo wanted to leave, allegedly. Would everyone have wanted Ronnie to start if he hadnt made a offseason fuss?
Hope you don't live in a tall building with windows.Anyone just see the warm up with the back line. Harry alongside Martinez and it was Martinez calling the shots. Character oozing out of the guy.
The three headed monkey.I'm annoyed that we haven't made more signings and I'm annoyed that we still have largely the same starting 11 as last year.
However, all of that can feck off right now. This is what we've got to work with, so I hope we go out and thump Brighton. Hope the front four clicks and we see something special.
Let's see what happens. Hope we win and we do it well.Thanks Sky, just the build-up we needed ffs.
The transfer window is still very much open for business. There isn't a doubt in my mind that we'll add at least one (probably 2) high-profile player before it shuts.
Keep the faith
Rashford just did 3 really shitty press ups in warm up then stopped and just standing about.
lets hope his actual match effort shows a bit of improvement on that.McTerminator will need to get stuck in with Caicedo.
Ronaldo missing the entire pre-season (and looking awful in the only game that he’s played) may have something to do with it…Bonkers line up... Eriksen up to from what ETH says - but have to say Brighton wouldn't have seen that coming and it's better than Ole's ever predictable set up. No idea what to expect and it might be fun but absolutely highlights the need for a proper centre forward (among other things)Time to forget all the noise coming into this. The league is back and I'm excited. I'm cautiously hopeful.
Couple of debuts is always exciting.
His warmup was at way higher intensity as Shaw and Maguire too. They just jogged a bit and Martinez was doing headers, changing his stance and just doing the warmup at lot fasterNew era begins...... .with McT and Maguire still in first 11. Bloody hell.
Oh well, i have full faith in ETH. 3:0 win.Believe in Heisenberg.
Did he?
Was just thinking that. Christ that was a video package you don’t wanna see just before kick off for a new season.
He’s on the bench because he’s only played 45 minutes in pre-season. Please stop with the Ole stuff
He is either wearing an 'I Shot J.R.' OR a 'Saw Doctors' t-shirt.
It's also the best way to gauge the Ten Hag effect. Almost like for like team but if we play better football it's clear whyWe talk about McFred as though it were a single failed organism, but Fred has improved dramatically. McTominay remains a serious weakness.
You're goddamn right.
We will certainly do better. Alot of people forget that the 4-0 happened in a similar vein to the 4-0 loss against Everton in 18/19, which is we were mentally out of it. This season is different plus we have new recruits who will help to bolster this mentality.
Yes, but that hasnt been a point those who are happy with the benching has made.
Name them? The FdJ thing is evidently an issue between player and his club, nothing to do with us.
Others?Brighton beginning the season against four UnitedsThe transfer window is still very much open for business. There isn't a doubt in my mind that we'll add at least one (probably 2) high-profile player before it shuts.
Keep the faith
Windows still open, but these early games are worth as many points as any other. Never feel like we start a season well prepared anymore- Status
