Going to be a long season based on the reaction to this team.

Can't believe we're not starting all those other players we have, like the Dutch lad who was a bit shit when he played last season, and the French lad who was even shitter last season and hasn't played a competitive match in about 9 months.

It's a madness.

Just a bit of frustration. Feels like a diluted team. If we play well and can get through it, there will be no complaints.

Nice to see the same collection of shitc***s that stumbled to the end of the season back, kill any optimism off nice and early.

How dare you bring your logic here! Outside of matic and maybe lingard nobody from preseason showed they deserved to get a start. Even bringing them two in , they’re hardly game changers.

Looking forward to the game but I can already hear AK calling for Sancho and, dare I say it, the Fire Martial at halftime.

I think it’s more a case of the reality coming back to hit us. It’s easy to bury your head preseason and get excited about very little. That team sheet is just a stark reminder of where we are.

And The Scottish Player and Pogba.

He’s going with what he knows.

McFred, James… safety nets.

I think it’s more a reminder of how this season is another case of clubs not being ready. Euros, copa America, Olympics, Covid, quarantine all affecting clubs preps.

We’re missing Sancho, Varane, Martial and Cavani because there’s just not enough time to get everyone back and ready.

And then we’ve got actual injuries to Henderson, Telles and Rashford.

First team of the season was always going to be deflating. If we can't roll over Leeds with this XI then we may as well not bother this season.

Like I said matic has a case of playing ahead of Fred. But that’s hardly a game changer . Matic doesn’t have the best agility and playing Fred as shit as he is, someone who can make up quick ground against a team who play at a high tempo isn’t the worst idea.

He played in the Copa America, its not like he's lacking match practice.

Fair point. If we don't bring in another midfielder then this season is a write off imo. But I can still understand what squad we have at our disposal at this current time.

Oh right, so now he doesn't need a rest, but others do ?


It's safety first shite and everyone knows it, absolutely no harm in throwing Donny, Sancho, martial at Leeds on the first day...

I'm not sure what you're getting at? I'd didn't say players need to be rested

Pretty much the whole starting lineup played in international competitions over the summer.

We should still win with this team. Stop the bed wetting before the game.
We have rashford cavani Sancho varane all to come back into the team. The team today is far from the finished article / best XI
