Early indications we won't be doing much better in the set piece department this season either

I really think without Ronaldo blasting every free kick over the bar and Bruno taking them because Mount replaces Erickson we’ll score a shed load free kicks.

 

[Samid]

So who had AWB ahead of Dalot? I did not.

The defending champ didn't either

11/11

This is one of those "things that don't seem to be true but is" moments.

Absolutely shocking that we finished 3rd but only picked up only 1 point out of those 9 games, I think it was spurs away? Even then we almost lost that one.

It makes a lot of sense tbh. We beat who we were supposed to beat and won our games at home, but we didn't have the energy or thrust to beat top 9 teams away from home, which is what cost us the title challenge. In away games you need a combination of energy and firepower, we lacked both. We've added Mount in midfield for energy, we've enhanced our depth and we've added goal scoring in both Hojlund and Mount.

Some stats from MNF

What an eclectic mix of stats from us. We really were such a mixed bag of quality last season

 

[Teja]

Edit : Surprised to see Bissaka start. Means Dalot's mistake against Lens cost him his starting spot. My team prediction fecked.

He was always ahead through the pre-season it seems. He made one error that let Dalot in at the end but then Dalot screwed up as well.

I trust AwB more than Dalot.

 

[Kazi]

Big performance from Garnacho today

Onana being interviewed before the game by Sky. Building him up…

Harry on bench…booo

 

[Jagga7]

Easy win for us, going for 4-0.

.. To knock him down

I’m surprised Maguire‘s on the bench considering how seemingly advanced his transfer is

 

[joedirt87]

RB was the one position I wasn't sure who would start.

 

[BaguetteBoy]

Some stats from MNF

love ETH shoes need to get myself on of those.
Anyways will be much better this season

 

[humdinger]

Probably our best available lineup. Hope Garnacho continues his form, he’s brilliant to watch

 

[stw2022]

I’m surprised Maguire‘s on the bench considering how seemingly advanced his transfer is

Presumably the worry was if he was sat unsupervised in the stands he might fall into the pitch and accidentally score five own goals

[James35]

That set piece stat is one to behold

 

[top1whoisman]

 

[Abraxas]

It's a great first fixture. Must take advantage and get a good result and hopefully a good performance.

 

[NicolaSacco]

Don't see the problem. Most pundits arw shite anyway. Just see Sturridge's perfomances yesterday for reference.

Yep, the OP’s post is an embarrassment. Plenty of awful pundits around, and plenty of decent ones. Gender is not the determining factor here.

That Lens game was the strongest indication of what ETH's preferred starting lineup was. There really wasn't much in between them. Besides that, it's the strongest possible lineup we can put out.

Sancho at false 9 was never going to happen. Don't know why some people convinced themselves that we would start the season that way. Did everyone forget last season when we started with Eriksen at false 9 and that disaster?

 

[Woodzy]

The best 11 we could have hoped for

 

[IrishRedDevil]

That’s a decent looking Wolves side.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Isn’t there always a threadmark to just simply click on?

Is there? Where?

 

[Chairman Steve]

ETH looks like Lando’s right hand guy from Empire Strikes Back with those handphones and facing the camera straight on.

 

[Dazzmondo]

A wild Martial appears

 

[laughtersassassin]

Out bench is still a bit grim to be honest.

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

Numerical order

Disgusting isn’t it. Also the set of 1st team numbers not even remotely resembling the classic 1-11 really pisses me off more than it should

 

[Alemar]

Henderson on the bench

 

[Strats]

Fecks sake, was hoping they would stop doing these numerical line up announcements.

 

[Dempsey19]

Maguire on the bench is a huge disappointment to see. He should of been told he wasn't invited to the game at all.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Glad Garnacho's playing. I thought he may have gone for Sancho. Let's fecking go lads!!

 

[Leftback99]

That set piece stat is one to behold

Unless we buy players better at attacking them it won't change.

 

[DJ_21]

Expected line up. 3-0 reds!!

 

[RoadTrip]

Let’s fecking go! Feeling pretty buzzed for our first game.

 

[Devil You Know]

A few surprises on that bench. Henderson, Maguire the obvious ones. But even Pellistri and Martial are a little bit.
