Generally did well on the few occasions he started for us last season. He has the ability to stitch our attack in the final third, which is something we've missed.

Wasn't dead serious. Good Martial has potential

Fail to win this with Arsenal coming afterwards I'll start to really worry for the manager.

I'm not even concerned about results at the moment, I just want to see us somewhat resembling a functional football team.

Hard to tell on the CAF.

fecking Dalot at left back.

Jump ship Alvaro.

Pronewbie · Aug 26, 2023

My ideal line-up except for Sancho coming in for Antony. That trio have an almost telepathic connection.

100% agree. We should be at a stage now where we have a way of playing and doing it consistently well.

Yeah, he's gone if he doesn't get any minutes today

Yeah the players have to put a shift in today. We can't have Forest out running or out fighting us

DJ_21 · Aug 26, 2023

Rashford back on the left and Martial upfront!

Had the same.

Happy to see Dan Gore on the bench

IrishRedDevil · Aug 26, 2023

Maguire back on the bench…

Mike Smalling · Aug 26, 2023

What does Antony have to do to get dropped?

Correct team IMO. That's what I'd have gone with.

He's like Rooney under LVG.

Jesus no Hannibal and McTominay on the bench.

Injury and suspension I reckon. Other than that, he wont get dropped. Teacher's pet

Swedish_Plumber · Aug 26, 2023

Season starts here. Performance and result massive going into next weekend.

King7Eric · Aug 26, 2023

Gore instead of Hannibal on the bench. I assume that means he's leaving.

Its a good lineup and find selection :lol:

State of the posters these days, fecking hell

bdspeedy · Aug 26, 2023

11 out of 11. Got 10 each of the first 2 games but Ten Hag forgot that Sancho should have started those games with Garnacho coming off the bench. Hopefully he's been set straight.

stu_1992 · Aug 26, 2023

Strongest line up we have in the circumstances. Can't watch today but I'm hoping to hear of a much improved performance. I'll be curious to see how long Martial can last.

I've come to the conclusion that people saying this didn't watch a minute of preseason.

You make seem like I am throwing everything under the carpet, I am giving my opinion on why most of the fan base is feeling down and rightfully so. Pre season it obviously looked bad but you usually put it down to it just being pre season.

He'd hand a transfer request in if he had anything about him

ETH is never dropping his £80m winger.

prateik · Aug 26, 2023

Why are people surprised by Dalot at LB? One of his performances I read about when we signed him was him playing at LB for Porto against Liverpool in the Champions League at Anfield.

He has always been an option for LB..

TMDaines · Aug 26, 2023

Poor Sancho.

Martial minutes sweepstake? Not played 90 for years.

My only Eric · Aug 26, 2023

11/11

lex talionis · Aug 26, 2023

Martial gets the start. Great, let’s see what he’s got. But if he jogs around the pitch sulking at every possible opportunity I hope ETH benches the wage thief.

I'm not, but I keep seeing people say that it's only been two games of shite, it's not, we were shite and disjoined all preseason, nothing was clicking. That doesn't just fix itself because there's 3 points on the line.

Withnail · Aug 26, 2023

Slim pickings on our bench with these injuries but hopefully we're a bit more balanced with Eriksen and Martial in and Rashford back on the left.

Unfortunately this is the case, which will cause some players to become disgruntled. Maguire makes mistakes, benched. De Gea makes mistakes, released, Sancho plays shite, sent to Holland. Antony plays shite and makes mistakes, starts every week without fail.

The general physical malaise from the preseason and the piling muscular injuries seem to point to something going wrong in the training regimen.

Perhaps but that is speculation. It’s difficult to believe with all the science behind it that that would be the case.

Fitness has also been questioned, but according to Ten Hag we top the stats so far in that respect.

BeltUp said:

Yeah, lets compare a legend and top goalscorer with someone completely unproven.

Even a poor Rooney registered 12 goals and 5 assists under Van Gaal. Antony didn't even get those numbers in the Dutch league.

Get the feeling we're happy about it right now but the Martial thread will be calls for Saudi to come and get him by 90 minutes are up.

CM · Aug 26, 2023

Don't mind that line-up in the circumstances. Lets hope they put in a performance today.
