He's top 5 in the league in progressive passes in the final third

Luke Shaw will need to activate his Super Saiyan mode once again if he wants to keep his place. Malacia's making runs and passes we've rarely seen our LB make.
ETH screaming for Martial to press
It was more noticeable in the last 2 games. But you’ll see the full backs make under lapping runs similar to how city full backs make runs inside. Sancho and Rashford were finding through balls for them especially against Liverpool.
Ten Hag has done a brilliant job coaching this squad. Press resistant, good timed runs, solid positioning. McT showing for the ball, Fred making solid progressive passes, Maguire making sensible decisions. There are clear improvements all over the pitch.
Ironic cheering?
Played well, just need that extra spark in attack. Midfield clearly needs sorting however.
Agree
Malacia is a big upgrade on Telles. Looking forward to seeing Eriksen and Martinez in this team
I’d say we’ve looked good on the press, fairly dominant, but not good enough in terms of taking and creating chances, would like to see us up by more against Palace’s b team.
Gosh, seeing these players chase down goalkeepers in pre season is amazing. Lets hope that's still going all season
Fred
Nah, that sounded genuine.
I am giggling about Eriksen getting involved in this link up play.
That flick
Butland is a bag of fecking nerves
Haha never forget the one single half of pressing we did last year was against Palace…then fully abandoned it after. Was strange.
Keeper's footwork
Were winning the ball high up which is great to see.
Think Scott has been very good.
It is quite noticeable how different Malacia is playing to what our full backs have typically done. The positions he's taking up are completely different.
Sancho and Martial link up is really good to see.
Haha what was that from their goalkeeper.
erm....Butland is a bag of fecking nerves
He went off, its their backup keeperButland is a bag of fecking nerves
Onwards and upwards!
Fred needs to look up to Sancho and Dalot way more.
This Matthews was crap in League One, god knows how he got a gig with Palace even as a back up.
Malacia is a bargain for his price.
He should be, he's been sat on the bench for half an hour.Butland is a bag of fecking nerves

Butland went off 30 mins ago.
Harry learning the De jong turn....
Palace have some proper butchers in the side.
Oh right, whoops
Or set plays.
Lino looks like a serial killer. Proper evil face.
Boy can put a corner in ..
