I really hope Lukaku is ready to bulldoze them next week.

Can't stand sitting through another one of their defensive counterattacking fluke tactics.

I am not getting my hopes up, but it would be great.

Ben White 50m 🤣 wouldn’t pay 5m for him based on last nights game and there were folk on here saying he was an excellent buy for Arsenal.

Lukaku gonna have a field day. Fuck even Werner might have a field day. If we don’t beat that Arsenal team we may as well not beat anybody.

White was rag dolled about by Toney last night, looked like a kid out there.

I don't think it helps having Chambers next to you though, at Brighton he had Dunk, very vocal and commanding CB.

Against teams that cannot stick to a gameplan, White will look better for sure, but ultimately, as Sky said last night, each team is looking at that and thinking to stick someone on him. White needs to go watch some Riccy C videos from the day on how to deal with taller strikers and long balls, masterful.

Yep.

He was alright in a back 3 for Brighton as he was a bit more protected as well as also ending up in MF in numerous games but in a back 4, he looks lightweight. 

Good on the ball and has potential but never a 50m CB in a million years and last night showed that. Don’t think I’ve seen such a bad debut at CB, or a CB lose so many headers  Lukaku will do the exact same to him as Toney did hopefully.

In fact most CFs who are more physical will do this in all likelihood, likes of Rom, Benteke, Woods, Barnes etc guys who have a huge physical presence, it will give these guys encouragement.

£122m for Pepe and White.

The thing is on the ball, he’s good and has pace but like Kounde, he seems just a bit lightweight or short for a CB in a back 4 in the PL for me. If they played a 3 and he was in the position Azpi was it for instance it wouldn’t be so bad, still not great but you could off balance his weaknesses playing him and 2 more physical/taller CBs who are stronger in the air. In a 4 not so much, you need both really good in the air.

As average as David Luiz was as a central defender, in the air he was quite strong and would attack the ball well. I think Carragher mentioned that he has essentially been signed to replace David Luiz but isnt as strong, tall or dominant in the air. 

Ben White - Gabriel partnership going to be interesting and whilst I really liked the look of Gabriel last season, it doesn’t scream out top top partnership to me.

So far United look alright, thats without Cavani, Varane and Sancho too. 

Def be contenders again this season. They could've been last season but had that shakey start and drew a lot of games.
