PBP: EPL: Burnley v Manchester United Sat 23 Sep 2023 [R]

Varane might return for this.

 

Hannibal starts. As does McT again.

What's going on with Martinez? God were light at the back.

Some interesting choices.

 

McT comes on against Bayern, walks for 20 minutes, and gets rewarded with a start. Cool.

 

Welp, what can we do?

There are no options.

 

Yay!!!

Hannibal!

 

Huh? Didn't you say the exact opposite last week?

 

Id rather play a kid from the reserves. If a no talent like McT can’t even give effort, he has no place at the club. Actually, I would’ve been cool with Hannibal in a midfield 3 and put Pellestri or someone at RW so Hojlund actually has service. Because he won’t get it from Rashford.

 

Playing a midfield 4 when we have young guys like Garnacho and Pellestri not getting minutes tells me ETH doesn’t trust our midfield and is trying to pack it so we have some control.

But hell, if we’re trying to find a way to lose to Burnley, Jonny Evans at the back with McT in front of them is a good way to do it.

 

VDB on the bench is a surprise too.

has Gore ever appeared for the 1st team?

 

I said there are other options in midfield. Today, he used a different option. In fact, he made two changes in midfield.

 

Were literally down to the only criteria for making the bench being you’re not injured.

 

For me, I just want to see a game without some ridiculously silly individual error.

Sure, tactics are important but can we just cut out the stupidity for once and be tough to breakdown?

 

My stupid Peacock app is not audio/video synced. Anyone else?

 

I just tuned in and it's not synched

 

Its like... 30 seconds behind. This is ridiculous.

 

Now there's a subtitle on the screen they're working to fix the audio issues

 

They've acknowledged the audio issue. Lol

 

Hooray

 

********ing Jonny Evans on a corner of all things!
