Without Kante, teams that are aggressive and get stuck into us will still cause us all sorts of trouble by the look of it. Very annoying.

Our midfield is WIDE OPEN every time Villa nick the ball quickly and turn us over.

We definitely have to be careful and smart here. There’s a whole lot of pace and running in that Villa attack. McGinn, Watkins, and Ings will be looking to break and sprint as often as they can. Which could be an issue with Kova and Saul in his first game. Plus Silva’s first game alongside CHO and Chalobah.

Other than Norwich, United couldn’t have handpicked a better opponent to debut CR7 against. Maybe Arsenal, I guess… 😂

Very interesting lineup! Could be exciting, too. But what the actual fuck is going on with Chilly? Good as Alonso has been so far I really want Chilly to get up to speed. Been totally out in the wilderness since the CL final for some reason.

This is still pretty much the exact same United as last season stylistically. Olé still has no defined way of playing and they’re boring as shit. But they have so many star players that they can rely on individual moments to win over and over again. Just cannot see them winning a title or the CL with him as manager.

Was really looking forward to watching Leicester v City so I wasn’t forced to watch the slobbering of CR7 but the streaming service that’s showing all the other games is down here. 😒

Connor G has the tenacity and energy of Kova and is also very nice on the ball like Mason. He’s just unlucky that his skill set is so well covered by the players we already have so it’s difficult to see him making it.

Spuds 😂😂😂 Finally got what their shit play has deserved. This same thing would’ve happened against Wolves if Adama could finish.

Emerson Royal has had one of the worst debuts I’ve ever seen. Getting torched repeatedly by Zaha and looks terrified in the ball.

It’s United and they’re playing shit Newcastle so he’ll probably score a debut hat trick here. Maybe even a couple of pens. 🙄

Christ, the Ronaldo obsessive media coverage is already unbearable and he hasn’t even played yet.

Our boy Gallagher looks great again here for Palace, btw. Palace have to win this now, ffs.

Spuds are fucking awful. Once the fixtures start piling up they will drop like a stone back into midtable.

As they have been in each of their matches so far, Spuds again being outplayed. They look clueless. And like those previous 3 games where they were outplayed their opponent is even more toothless and can’t score so Spuds will probably win 0-1.

All those salty opposition fans questioning why we were after Saul and here is the reason. And thank god we got him. Kante will be a constant injury risk throughout the season and must be handled carefully. Saul is going to get a lot of games. As for Pulisic, I’m sad to say this because I really like him (especially as a fellow American) but I’d cash in on him next summer. He’s injured more than any player I’ve ever seen. Tuchel can’t ever count on him at all because he’s always on the injury table. Every injury then sets him back and he has to fight his way back into contention to play. I’d use him as a makeweight with Dortmund if we are genuinely interested in Bellingham.

Pretty difficult to even think about midfield targets for next summer when we haven’t even seen Saul yet.

He seems genuinely happy to be here with a fresh start. Hopefully it doesn’t take long for us to see him on the pitch.

I absolutely think we’ll go back in for Koundé. Maybe even in January depending on the health of our CB’s at the time. And he was almost certainly being targeted as a RCB not a LCB. He will be viewed as the long term replacement for Azpi and would’ve slotted in perfectly there. Our issue now could be that there could be more suitors going forward whereas we had a free run at him this summer.

Barca are going to be hilariously bad this season, aren’t they? From Messi, Neymar, Suarez to Memphis, Luuk De Jong, etc This Barca team would probably finish 6th or 7th in the PL.

Imagine… 😂

Yep. If he works out we’ve got the best midfield group in the world. If he doesn’t, we go out and sign Rice next summer.

This is an aspect that many aren’t considering. When teams sit deep against us and park the bus Saul will be infinitely more useful than Kova or Jorginho because he can shot and score from outside the box. Kova gets anywhere near the box and the ball is more likely the end up as a throw in for the other team than it is in the back of the net.

Am I imagining things or did Anjorin not just sign a new contract a couple of months ago? This sure came out of nowhere.

Yep. Too expensive of an outlay with only hours/minutes to go. Should’ve been done weeks ago.
