PBP: EPL - Manchester United FC vs Crystal Palace FC - Sep 19, 2020 [R]

Solskjær: "Paul Pogba has been training really well. Donny van de Beek, it's his first game, he’s gelling into the group nicely. That’s the decision today." #mulive [sky]

Don't think Donny will be considered an option at the 6 for the near future (except perhaps in very select situations).

 

No - I think vdB is more down to us not having him long and not having a pre-season, like at all

Ole has talked about fitting Pogs, Bruno and Donny in to a system, but again no pre-season means no change of formation ..... yet.

 

Not really. He's going to start some games in place of Pogba, some in place of Bruno. He's not likely going to play the 6 role. He may play as part of the double pivot when we rest Pogba next to Fred perhaps, but Bruno/Pogba/VDB is too attacking certainly to start off with.

It may well be the case that Donny becomes the eventual 6, but since we've had no preseason it makes sense that Ole is trying to play guys who've had more time to get fit.

Not an ideal time to start your first start. I'd bet Donny gets 30 minutes, likely in place of Pogba. The same will happen with Dan James and Mason Greenwood.

 

Stroke of what?

 

Lovely.... James on the right

 

GGMU!!!

 

It was an honest question. I havent watched many United games, so I dont know which MF spot he's competing for

 

Thank you. That sums it up well

 

Couldn't even get my peacock account set up! Major aggravation. I have to go to work anyway, will try again tonite.

 

My video quality is pretty poor (IMHO), but it's smooth and working fine.

Oh my God...

 

Wtf?

 

And we go behind: looking very rusty overall thus far...

 

DDG continuing where he left off last season looking shaky as hell.

And we're down 1 already. Deserved by them. We've been pinned from the start. Pathetic.

For all those that defended Lindelof, thats what you get. Easily held off and allowed the Palace player to cross without attempting to put in a tackle. No business being a starting CB for a good team (which we may not be).

 

I'm okay with TFM at RB, that makes sense... I understand Mason starting on the bench, but I'd have played Lingard. Palace won't leave any space in behind for James.

Oh great. They've scored. Big shock.

 

Shaw with his usual injury comeback rustiness. Not good from the CBs either.

Which positions was it Ole wanted signings at .....

 

Lol

 

We suck.

 

de gea's distribution already diabolical. lindelof being soft as usual. james just running aroung. mctom with no ball skills.

 

Bruno has been anonymous. I think maybe one touch?

 

Lindelaugh with some nice defending there to allow the cross

 

Looking very sloppy indeed. Come on boys, tighten up!

 

All he has is height and energy. It is a mistake to play him as the 6 next to Pogba. Fred would make a great deal more sense.
