Apart from Jackson goal we were close to score with Gallagher and Chilwell nice shots but Pope was amazing. Their goal is ridiculous tho. Not only Cucurella but look at 1:46 how Gordon receives the ball and going past Casadei and Enzo like they are invisible. Every manager must be horrified with this. Not acceptable.

Conte won title with 13 players. Fabregas joker and Willian/Pedro rotation. I'm not saying we have a chance for title but whatever our goal and objective is first of all Poch needs to understand his best starting 11 as soon as possible. Similarity with that season is that these are 2 only seasons without European football in last 25 years. Other key is to stay injury free. Less games less likely to get injured. Plus players are better prepared now because of Poch training intensity. Game once a week is something even old Silva should manage. Let's say our best 11 is Kepa, Chilwell, Colwill, Silva, James, Enzo, Caicedo, Nkunku, Kudus, Mudryk and Jackson. Play them every PL game. About rotation Gusto for James. And Badiashile if some CB is not available. Even for LB we can play Badi, Silva and Colwill with James going up and LW covers left side with that hybrid formation we saw even this pre season. But Maatsen looks promising as well. Enzo and Caicedo have great injury record let's hope it continues that way. They strike me as players who can play every minute. But we still have Santos who can cover here and there and Gallagher to run like a dog last 20min if needed. In attack same... Nkunku, Kudus can cover multiple positions. Maybe give Noni chance sometimes. If we have this established we can avoid having players we are most afraid of like Cucurella, Chalobah, Sterling, inexperienced players doing damage to results. We should aim for this. Clear starting 11 and 4,5 players in rotation and that's it.

He was scratching balls when Poch was telling him something. Plus tried that horrid dive. He was always one of the most annoying players in the league.

Hard to stay nice when stadium is mostly used for concerts and NFL ofc.

SoFi stadium is something else.

2 goals 3 assists in 120 mins. But it is not just that, great link up play, fighting spirit. Great catch by scouts.

Thats now 3 of 4 games they did not scored with him on the pitch.

This league from next season deserves its own thread. So far in transfer window their top clubs got or are very close: Al Hilal: Koulibaly, SMS, Ruben Neves, Malcom. Very close for Verratti and Mitrovic. Offered crazy money for Mbappe. Al Nassr: Ronaldo, Telles, Brozovic, Seko Fofana. Already had Talisca and Konan. Ok Ronaldo is already there 6 months as well. Ittihad: Benzema, Kante, Jota. Al Ahli: Firmino, Mendy, Mahrez and ASM from Newcastle very close. Fabinho too. Al Ettifaq: Gerrard manager, Dembele is there from Lyon and Henderson very close. Their transfer window closes on September 20 so a lot of deals will still happen.

What a goal from Joselu 2:0. UTD is shit.

https://vipleague.im/real-madrid-vs-manchester-united-streaming-link-1 Last 5 mins. Barca vs Arsenal after this game.

3 games down 2 to go. Instead of using +20 players in a game now for Fulham and Dortmund we need to have Liverpool game in mind and try to get best possible 11. After 2 academy CBs playing 90mins today I expect Silva and Colwill to get 90mins next game. James and Chilwell clearly starters as full backs as well. Kepa too. Enzo infront and Mudryk LW and Jackson CF. This is certain I think for Pool game. 3 other players hopefully 2 new ones in Caicedo and Kudus as RW. And not sure if Nkunku starts or we add another MFer.

I know you are not religious but come on...

Pope saved them.

We need to get Caicedo and pair him with Enzo as soon as possible.

They are top4 team that made just 2 changes in a game. They are together way longer, they are supposed to look better.

Silva and Colwill are most likely starters against Liverpool. Should not they click together first with some game time, I know Poch is trying to see others...

Santos, Gusto, Chilwell and Chuck on.

Conor best player in 2nd half.

Give me Angelo for Maatsen.

And who gives 5mins extra time in friendly first half?

This is biggest problem. In MF it is 3 against 2. And potentially problem for next season as well.

We did not see Maatsen defensively. He is winger for Poch. First left now right.

Exactly how I see our conceded goal.

He is more of a scorer, final 3rd player. Would not expect a lot of buildup from him.

In last second fuck.
