All of them! The most successful teams have the whole team working not just one player. Against Soton, we need to work as hard as they will.
Yeah my thoughts exactly and can understand where people are coming from who talk about how much gametime Grealish has already had, Lukaku probably going to start for Chelsea today as well after very little training.
Why bother, we should cut our losses and sell him now. He loses value with every game he’s on the bench but hopefully we can recoup 40 - 50m
Looking at our bench, unless Lingard goes or he drops Mata, not sure how kids are going to get in there.At least two of VDB Lingard and James should be sold to raise funds for a dm
Sounds like a Souness comment
Exactly. People want the "old Utd" back then constantly shit themselves over the opposition.
Didnt Liverpool field the same XI for an entire season basically?Matic
and look what happened after that
Many of our fans share a similar level of delusion & toxicity as him.
I'm not all that bothered about the starting lineup(a shame about Sancho) but its hardly rotation time. It's only the 2nd game and its only one game per week at the moment.
I'm sure had they all been fit and ready we'd have seen pretty much the same starting XI for the first four games or so.
Yet he had played well against Everton in pre-season and people were surprised he didn't start the first game.Matic
Nemanja is dominating them today.
And watch baldy score a hattrick today giving the boss more headache who to play....Martial loves scoring against Soton. Come on Tony, give all these Saints hell you magnificent Red Devil. Come on UnitedThe ole hierarchy are well defined, it could seem impossible, but Sancho and Varane will struggle to get in the first 11 for the next 2/3 monthsCome on man.. Start with Jadon ffs.
You've got to admit is getting better.
Van Dijk got injured by Pickford injuring him? Yet they came further in the CL than us and still managed to clinch CL? Rather that than winning nothing in 4 years I'd say.
Wouldn't mind that sort of headache.Happy enough with the lineup.
Would have preferred Mctominay over Matic and Sancho over Martial.
Honestly don't expect Varane to be starting over lindelof until after the international break.
I think they'll be eased in as the season progresses. There's a lot of football games: Carabao, UCL,FA and PL. There will be opps for Amad,Hannibal, Elanga and Shola to appear. Plus the window hasn't closed yet so there could be another departure.
People moaning about Lingard forget that he finished the season brilliantly for WHU and scored in preseason as well the BCD game against Burnley. With his experience, I don't mind in the least if he comes on.Why drop McT? This is the kind of high energy game that suits him.
If we'd have rotated more, maybe Bruno & Rashford wouldn't have been knackered and maybe we'd have won something. Also - yeah, they had just one injury
The VDB experience has left everyone with some scars. Bruno was thrown in right away (almost out of necessity) and it paid off handsomely. Hopefully Sancho and Varane start next week.I'm just gonna say it. Sancho is a flop, sadly.
If we're doing alright they'll both be coming on, if we're not doing alright they'll both be coming on!
Reverse jinx?Theyre gonna win the league (Soton)
Theyre gonna win the league (Soton)Feels like a fresh start for Martial in a way, how he plays will be very interesting.I cannot wait for Cavani to come back fully fit tbh.
If it happens, it will only mean we're flying.
If I'm Ole, I tell Lindelof, Matic, Martial, other players on the edge of the first team, "here's your game time, force me to pick you again with your play!" As others have said, we should have enough to beat Southampton.
However, I do think Ole gets himself in trouble at times by playing a team that's maybe 1 player too many rotated from the first XI, that has to do with some of our poor results. But he's got the right idea, hopefully he a bit more conservative this season, and of course the squad is stronger too.Is Cavani injured does anyone know?
He is carrying an injury according to Ole.Another week passes and once more I wonder what's the point of DVB
And none of ours has played or managed at his level...which makes it very odd. There's basking in reflected glory, then there's just acting very entitled
We probably wouldnt have gotten there anyway if the likes if James or Van de Beek/Mata had to replace them.
You for real?
They're both starting next game and they'll play the remaining games until the end of the season.- Status
