Gotten lost a bit in all the transfer drama but there's still a lot of talent in this squad. The fullbacks, however, are terrible and there's not another source of width in the team.
Bailly and Lindelof will get less cover than the do with Matic, so need to step up. The attackers should get more service than they are used to from our usual conservative midfield, so need to step up and make use of it and get some goals. We look like we will more likely concede, so will have to make use of all this attacking talent and score more than a single goal. Its a risk however at least more the Man Utd way, but very unMou like
Lol no credit Jose. He's forced to do this. Matic is hurt, Herrera is hurt, Fellaini isn't fit. It was AP or McT. I'll give Jose credit if he plays him still when Matic is fit.
Could be that Mou is half hoping the lack of cover will highlight his demands to get some better CBs, but if the result is that he is taking some shackles of the attackers (the Mata / fullback issues aside) then it is a risk worth taking if we at least see some watchable football.
Showing the new changing room layout on Sky, they have apparently halved the away team changing room size to give the home team a bigger one
I know I'm a fanboy when it comes to AP, but I love the positions he's taking up defensively. Cutting out passing lanes well.
Excellent defensive header there by Pogba. Didn't see that last season. Rashford doing more of what he always does...runs with his head down ignoring his teammates.
we could #witness a transformation similar to when lebron won his first title with miami. pogba looked so poised, he's got the monkey off his back. neo in the matrix type sh--.
Fred has been good also so far. If he keeps this he'll be a very valuable addition to the team. Very busy and active player. Like that.
good start. Carragher sounds weird as ******** on Sky now. like his voice is weaker now. surprised they let him back in the first place
