Manchester United 3:1 Crystal Palace (Tue 19th July, 11:10 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Yeah that's nonsense, Shaw is twice the player Malacia is at the moment
With Martinez in, I doubt we will.Maguire/Lindeløf and McFred, i really do not hope we see these combos alot this season.
And you already have people on here insisting that it's ok as well
sure I can’t believe martinez and eriksen aren’t starting
It's a good awful 11 that's for sure
They've been hit over the head so many times they're numb to it.
Interesting. ETH said he wasn't happy (not those words exactly) with the right side in the Liverpool game so put Dalot in, then said the same about the left side after the Melbourne game and now we see Malacia start. Seems like getting on top of our full back options is his priority atm.
Think they can't handle the Australian summer
The goal against Melbourne Victory was triggered by Shaw doing his random walk down the ground. I'm not sure if that was part of the plan to press or not, but the way they cut us through was just too simple to be easily passed through. I'm sure he wants to see how Malacia will perform with the first team.
We should be worrying more about Maguire making the starting XI than the likes of Fred.
The moaning over a line-up in preseason game... We know we have a top cb and midfielder coming in with, hopefully, a world-class CM joining as well.
I expect you’ll see him 2nd half.
He's not in the squad.
That's the issue. He's literally twice the player.
Pft, semantics.
Unexpected and funny
Realistically McFred are starting now lads but with Eriksen and possibly FDJ I doubt they will both be nailed on starters throughout the season.
I’d expect Fred, Eriksen, Bruno as things stand and then potentially FDJ, Eriksen, and Bruno if we get Frankie over the line.

Thankfully the pre seasons isn't set to please what fans want to see
Want to see Garnacho today hopefully, the kid is magic.
Well we won’t because we’ll have eriksen, martinez and hopefully de Jong to add to it. Possibly another attacking player but we shall see.
I want to see Hannibal!
Yea right, nothing wrong with being excited by two promising youngsters.
Im not denying its exciting to see academy talent given a chance.God forbid fans would want to see two exciting young players with the starters
Im saying there are other more important considerations involved.
Not sure you understood my post.
With the same squad though… can’t use anyone els when we don’t have them. We’ve got 2 new signings waiting at home and possibly another 1/2 will come in.
When you’re hoping to see Varane and Bailly but guess whose playing instead
I actually despise Lindelof and Maguire more than McFred.

I did.
Fred...
Yeah our best CM starts who would have thought.
Yes, but the players like Donny who everyone thought would walk in over Bruno hasn't happened.
Omg that fan’s hairstyle on MUTV
Maybe because he isn't fit to lace Bruno's boots
Still undecided on Shaw/Malacia. Also let's wait what the plan is for Martinez and Eriksen.
But yeah apart from that and with no further signings it won't be much different. Not good enough. Top 4 will be a huge challenge. ETH will have to be a magician to make these get into the CL places.
Anybody else slightly disappointed that we won't see certain youngsters again? Seems a bit harsh to take them and not give them a chance. How many players on tour haven't played a single minute yet?
Nah we were on the verge of top 4 right up until the end last season.
Even the additions we’ve made + Ten Hag is enough to challenge for top 4 at this point.
Seriously the fascination with an elite athlete's body type has to stop on here. This is the tone that's used all over this forum when Shaw is mentioned. The guy is widely regarded as one of the best LBs in the PL. Have you nothing more constructive to comment on?
Who specifically? Fish?
Nah. Those who have the slightest chance of making it here were given chances so far. And they did pretty well.
