Meltdowns over a preseason game
The guy is widely regarded
I think Mejbri and Garnacho have a chance of making it here mate.Nah. Those who have the slightest chance of making it here were given chances so far. And they did pretty well.
Fish, Garnacho, Hannibal plus the Goalkeepers. I’d expect Hannibal and Garnacho to take Chong/Amad’s place 2nd half.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?
Ole got top four with a comparable squad in his first full season, usually there are two or three sides who would pull away from the rest, the others would keep tripping over each other until one stumble over the finish line.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.

It's like complaining about your meal before you've ordered it.Haven't even kicked off yet

OK. You should know it had nothing to do with getting excited about our talent, but lets move on!I did.
This just isn't even remotely true Savage and Iqbal the only players who have a slight chance of making it here? I feel bad for the pair of them, people are just setting themselves up to be disappointed.Nah. Those who have the slightest chance of making it here were given chances so far. And they did pretty well.
Funny how we end up with a very similar starting XI under every manager. Hopefully the likes of Sancho and Martial with no competition gets more than 45 minutes today. Hopefully we get to see more of Pellistri too, as he is the one who has impressed me the most among the young attackers, and could come in handy if we don't sign a forward. No point giving minutes to Chong and co to show us stuff we know already.
Savbal...
Do you think Ole was a magician? He got top 4 two seasons in a row with the same team?

I'm more excited about the system than the players.Hard to get excited at that starting line-up. Maguire, Mctom, Fred, Dalot are uninspiring.

It's a fair point, Maguire and Fred at their best are both pretty good players, McTominay and Dalot are just beyond hope, in my opinion.I'm more excited about the system than the players.
I don't think these are shit players, at least 2-3 of them are very talented and in the right system can add massive value. There were so many bright moments against Liverpool and Melbourne too.
Dalot looked good the other day linking up with Sancho.Hard to get excited at that starting line-up. Maguire, Mctom, Fred, Dalot are uninspiring.
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?
Im thinking the same. Hopefully by the start of the season they will be banished to the bench.Why is it always Mctominay and Fred! Why
To be fair, Fred has gone some way to winning me over the past 6 months or so, still have no idea whats going to happen every time he gets the ball though and in general I still feel he's not good enough.Yeah Fred scoring that sick goal against Liverpool wasn’t at all inspiring or exciting, how dare our best and hardest working midfielder start ffs
I think Mejbri and Garnacho have a chance of making it here mate.
Agreed. Fans need a complete mental restart.The biggest challenge for ETH is getting more out of our existing crop, the moaning over our team on here is ridiculous.
At least 5 of our players have been top drawer in the past, and getting them back to their best will be the difference this year.
Maguire
Varane
Shaw
Rashford
Sancho
Add to that a few new signings, we're (potentially) well placed this season, but its pointless spending on new players unless we see an improvement in this lot, which comes down to the management and coaching.
No. Spurs, Arse have all strengthened pretty well and Chelsea I think are also nailed on for top 4. The PL this season will be a lot more competetive. It will be damn hard with that squad.
Do you factor in Martinez, Eriksen, Ronaldo (he's still here and if he depart would be replaced), and possibly De Jong coming in?Let's hope so. Looking at the squad of our rivals they look better than ours though.
I think the issue is that if we don't sign FDJ, it's McFred forever more this season. Mctominay in particular seems to get picked based on seniority rather than what he offers on the pitch.I don’t get the complaints about the lineup. It’s pre-season under a new manager and he needs to see how our first team players perform so he can make his own judgement.
Its pointless giving Zidane and Savage more minutes than our actual first team, they’ll hopefully get chances throughout the season but they’re nowhere near ready to play more than a bit part.
The season we finished 2nd, didn't Chelsea strengthen? They spend 250m?
Didn't Arsenal strengthen?
Spurs as well, they backed Jose that season.
sure I can’t believe martinez and eriksen aren’t starting
The lineup is a troll to be fair. Maguire/Lindelof, McFred...I swear some people argue about anything under the sun related to United.
The game hasn't even started! Calm down!
Maybe they just want to up their post numbers?!
