Those three midfielders rotating around will be far more dynamic. Suggests Mou trusts lindelof to step up and be a ball player from the back too. Mou trying to get supporters on his side methinks
If Mou wants to let it ride like he did the first few weeks of last season then I'm in. Still fully expect us to revert back to a defensive shell after the first poor result.
home kit looked better in preseason on the pitch than I could have ever imagined...about to go dark wish me luck
Jose tactics but there is no reason we are sitting so deep. Team looks okay for the start of the season. Fred a little sloppy but should improve in the second half.
Thought Darmian was pretty shaky for the first 15 minutes or so. Leceister have been targeting him all half. He's settled in since then. Rashford not exactly having a great half imo.
I don't know if my expectations are too high but Alexis just hasn't done it for me. Shaw has been good.
Alright, job done against a decent side. Good confidence builder for Andreas and Shaw. Strong match from most players. Darmian is terrible.
Lindelof should definitely be starting next to Bailly from here on. Alexis was shit but you can never question his work rate. Probably should have seen Martial at some point tho.
Mourinho did mention him by name post-match saying he wished he could have gotten him on for Alexis or Rashford fwiw. Thought that was encouraging at least.
Only saw the first 70 minutes, listened to the rest. I thought it was a good start, I would like Alexis to get a little more involved but other than that I don't have any complaints. They have a bit of a creampuff next week in Brighton, then a real test at home against Spurs.
“A couple of hours ago we had no points now we have three points” Mourinho is a petulant twat but for now he is our petulant twat Just finished watching and cigar while watching post game bullshit. We are who we thought we were but plenty to like from today. Super happy for Luke!!! Love hearing World Cup winner captain Paul Pogba. A win with Pogba, Fred and Andreas not having a game together is wonderful. A lot of sloppy connections that should get cleaned up with more game time. de Gea with a couple of de Gea saves with nice. Overall I’d say C + with a lot of potential if everyone stays positive.
