Casemiro is not very good

 

This is shockingly like ETH’s first season where we looked good to very good at times in preseason then just shit the bed in the first game of the season and played literally nothing like how we did in pre season.

 

Fulham will boss this game. United will look bad, but win 2-1.

The cycle repeats.

 

Improving as the half has gone on, really. Better team at the moment. Think Mainoo and Case need to stick to the centre. They’re moving around a little too much

 

Hope Zirkzee can come on if the second half, I think we would look better with him up there rather than Bruno and Mount being half up top

 

Activate Garnacho.

 

Based on the missed chances and who I support you can guess who I’ve captained in FPL.

 

All the half chances are falling to Casemiro.

 

Bruno should have two goals. Credit Leno with good saves but I’m shocked Bruno didn’t put one of those in.

 

I hate Maguire so much, haha.

 

Surely this means every single dive will be yellowed all season, right?

 

If he were at Madrid, he'd have a hat trick then. The dark magic, man. It's gotta be real.

 

Wild to see United dive in the box twice in the first half of the first game against a lower mid table side.

 

Ropey first 15, but much better since then. Our press is much much improved on last year, need a striker on the pitch though.

also, I thought non captains were no longer allowed to moan at the ref? Traore hasn't stopped and now Diop is moaning at him going off for half time.

 

Yeah, United really improved as that went on.

Is that not just a UEFA rule for the Euros? Genuinely have no idea. If so, they should adopt it for the PL.

 

On the pitch, the league is sticking to the model it used last season in tackling dissent, rather than adopting UEFA's approach where only captains speak to referees when there is a flash point.

Handball, offside, VAR and referees - Premier League rules, laws and new interpretation for 2024/25 season

 

Still yet to see wtf Mount is supposed to offer.

 

No idea tbh. Thought it was a general thing. If it's not they do need to bring it in.

Been one of our best players out of possession. Think he'll come off in the second half and we will look much worse off the ball. Need to see more from him in possession though.

 

Garna on for Mount and offset the OOP by bringing on Collyer too

 

Could be the way to go.

 

Ah man fuck off Leno!

 

Zirkzee, Garnacho, and De Ligt coming on. This is probably our strongest bench in over a year lol.

 

Zirkzee looks absolutely massive. jesus fucking christ.

maybe we're just small, it's probably that

 

What the FUCK was that lol.

 

OMFG Andreas
