There is ZERO resistance in defensive midfield from either side.

Garnacho was completely lost there. Shaw deserted his area.

Yeah. Glad he missed, though. The most annoying cunt in the league. Can’t stand him.

They’re an injury to Casemiro away from disaster. They REALLY need to bring Amrabat in who they’ve stalled on all summer long.

If United had Hojlund here or another natural striker they’d have a couple of goals. Likewise, if Kane was still there for Spuds he’d be on the end of some of these passes and could have a couple as well. Both missing a true focal point.

That’s a pen for me. Spuds are bang average. Bissouma looks good but everyone else looks subpar.

Spuds look like absolute dogshit. Their new keeper and the new CB both look mega shaky and panicky.

Simply for the Goldbridge/United fan meltdown I hope Spuds outplay them like Wolves did. The United supporters have been super arrogant all summer saying they’ll be title contenders. If they look as poor today as they did last weekend then the panic will start to kick in.

Yep. Wolves look much better in general play compared to last season but their biggest issue still remains that they simply cannot score goals. A clinical opponent scores at least a couple against Brighton today.

As I said earlier, when they come up against sides with elite midfields I think they struggle. Having Pascal Groß and Billy Gilmour as their midfield pairing is VERY lightweight. They’ve also got 50 year old James Milner in there. But against the clubs outside of the big boys they’ll be great.

With the squad we have now there’s absolutely no reason we should struggle for goals again this season. Brighton have Danny Welbeck and a bunch of attackers outside of Mitoma who you’d call very average and yet they score for fun.

Brighton are fucking brilliant…. They’ll struggle against teams with top midfields without Caicedo but against teams like their first 2 opponents they’ll dominate. They play such calm, composed football. De Zerbi has made them amazing. Think we’re looking at the next Man City manager here.

Mitoma is what Mudryk needs to be for us. Get the ball 1 on 1 with defenders and run sprint at them with your electric pace. They can’t deal with that often times. He doesn’t even have to do any tricks or flicks. Mitoma often times just runs at people and asks them questions. Mudryk needs to do the same consistently.

Mitoma is an amazing winger. Brighton’s next big transfer saga. Can only imagine the fee they’ll demand.

Buying another young MLS keeper when we already did so last summer?

Brennan Johnson looks good so far.

Maybe for some midtable side as their main striker but I wouldn’t even want us to spend that amount on him. I rate a fit Broja higher. And seeing the tweet above his impressive stats are much less impressive upon further inspection. Hard pass for me. I’d have any of the various wide attacker we’ve been linked with over Balogun.

He’s not, but he’s also not worth the massive premium Arse would demand from us for him.

Purely based on my eye test he looks like the sort of striker for an Everton/West Ham/Wolves level club. He doesn’t really jump off the screen and wow me. Just looks like a solid, midtable sort of striker.

What you say may be true. But like I said, even if Broja was gone tonight I wouldn’t fancy Balogun. He’s got expensive flop written all over him.

Being linked with Balogun when Poch said mere hours ago that we don’t want to block Broja’s pathway doesn’t quite square. They’re actually very similar players. Even if Broja wasn’t here I wouldn’t fancy Balogun. A player who had 1 explosive, breakout season at a small club after looking bang average up until that point is a red flag when it comes to transferring to a massive club.

Doku looks exciting but really tiny. And I have also heard of his injury problems as people here are mentioning. Probably best to avoid. Get a more robust attacker.

Was hoping he’d be City bound before we played them. This is going to be a tough match.

I think our spending on £100m footballers is probably done for the foreseeable future now. So waiting until the summer and targeting the likes of Kvara or Leão who are at clubs that will demand well north of that are out of the question. And tbf, I wouldn’t want the club spending that sort of money on a wide attacker with the number of expensive busts there have been in that area at multiple PL clubs. Seems to me like we want to target an attacker who isn’t quite at the top level yet but has the potential to explode and become that with development.

£150m Mitoma saga loading for next summer… 🤣🤣🤣
