Good to see optimism around this place…. not even kicked a ball yet and you’d think it was all doom and gloom.

Line ups interesting but Tuchel did say it will take a while for some guys to get their fitness IIRC due to the Euros etc. 

Big chance for Timo today, personally would of played Kai instead but lets see how he does. Has to improve on that lacklustre performance in the super cup.

Still think we will have more than enough. 

I agree with you Mo

In TT I trust, he certainly knows his players better than some of the muppets on here.

Hardly surprising considering the internation tournament that finished last month and both our first choice full backs were there until the very end. Come September, the line up will look differently.

Chilwell didn't play 1 game for England soo......

"Not kicked a ball yet" Well, that is incorrect. These players were here last season AND the Super Cup. Just because it's a restart of the PL doesn't mean we should forget everything prior.

Improve? Massively improve. Like, he becomes a different player.

But you and I know, especially after his SC performance that's not going to happen. You can't just turn on a switch and become good (unless it's a one-off).

Super Cup is a weird one to gauge though, even today technically you could say its still effectively pre-season because its not as if Tuchel has had a lot of time with players who were away at Euros etc and it will take a few weeks to get some of them up to full speed and integrate any other signings. 

Not forgetting everything but I think some of the reactions to the line up and no signings bar Lukaku is a bit OTT. I mean if we go and get a good performance and result will anybody really care about the line up? I don’t think so. Even then I don’t think you see the finished team on match day 1. Plus Kai, Mount, James, Pulisic, all young players who are better after another season as first team players so theres that growth also. 

I do think Werner will never really be more than what he showed in flashes last season so I agree he has to become a totally different player, improving tenfold but whether he does that it remains to be seen and unrealistic based on pre-season so far.

Maguire, Shaw and the lads at Man UTD looked incredibly fit. Don't understand the narrative that they're not fit enough to start.

Doesnt mean anything though. Every club has different approaches and methods to pre-season and maybe Shaw and Maguire didn’t take holidays to get back as soon as they could after the Euros? Where they played virtually every minute (bar first 2 games for Maguire) so maybe they werent as rusty as some of the guys who didn’t play. Who knows.
