Can we win the league?
Probably not, but we shouldn't finish outside the top 4 even if we don't make any new signings.

About every ten minutes!!Has anyone on mutv mentioned Manchester weather yet?
Rashford still isn't doing enough to be guaranteed starter in the front three unfortunately. If a new forward is brought in he is most at risk.
The Ralf apologists have been very quiet
These conditions are wild. Can't see the benefit in playing our first teamers in them
I must have fallen asleep for 10 seconds when this happened.Shades of Beckenbauer from Maguire there. Starting to look like the 80m defender Ole paid for.
Worried about Van De Beek, he hardly touched the ball.
Oh interesting, thanks, hadn't heard that. Maybe it's to get Shaw doing a few more wind-sprints...he's looking a bit, erm, hefty compared to everyone else! I only wish he would because he's been fantastic, and remains the most naturally gifted footballer in our squad I think.Ten Hag mentioned he wanted us to use the left more so possibly an instruction?
We're dominating and haven't given Villa a sniff.How are we doing lads?
Still under discussionIs it Winter in Australia?
No he doesnt why do people think Shaw is gonna look like Rashford?Oh interesting, thanks, hadn't heard that.

No it’s most definitely summer.Is it Winter in Australia?
Yeah pretty much this. The defense plays really slowly.The whole defence has been poor in their use of the ball other than Shaw. The first time Dalot gets the entry pass right we score. Maguire and Lindelof taking too many touches for us to progress quick enough.
Its easy to see why EtH wanted Martinez and FdJ so bad because our transition from defence to attack needs a lot more quality. Fred has actually been useful at that but its hard because his midfield partner is doing his best Cleverley impression.
Love the front three though, they look like they're really on their game.
Martial dropping deep and rolling the defender was so integral to the first goal. I'm really enjoying him back to form

You’re disproving your own point mate. RR was hamstrung by the board and given a poxy role.no one took him seriously cause they knew he was gone either way. It’s a damning indictment of the players attitude last season. Not Ralf. These players have seen Pogba binned, Jesse binned, Cavani binned, AWB benched, new decent signings on the cheap in Malacia, Eriksen, they are now playing and training for their Utd careers. ETH will outlast them and they know it. Ralf was right about what he said, just wasn’t the right man in the right place.

Agree with most of this. Plenty of reason for optimism. I do like Fred but I can’t say he’s a reason not to buy an elite midfielder.Another really good performance. Who needs De Jong when we have Fred? Sancho great again. Rashford also very involved on other wing. Very impressed by Shaw at lb. Dalot a bit quiet compared to his other performances in pre-season, hopefully we see more of him in 2nd half. Bruno has pressed very effectively. Defence has been solid. Dominant against a good team (in terms of individual quality at least). VDB hardly involved at all. Garner on for VDB at half time to see how he does please. Pretty clear to me that VDB should not be an option for us at cm this season.
Eh?Why can’t we have white text in match day threads?
You mean Donny is not part of the team? I knew it!4-1-1-3 it looks like to me.
False 6
Somebody like Eriksen perhaps?Can’t wait for vdb forever. If his form doesn’t change throughout this season, we should find another alternative.

Positionally, he has a small case but really small. Maguires a CH and he’s gone 30-40 yards with the ball.He's been very poor. I'm not sure he'd been any better higher up the pitch but he's just not a CM.
