Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

If the scores stay like this:

We’ll be one point behind City.
Both of us have mid week champions league games but we’ll have one day more rest.
We have City at home next Sunday. Win and we go ahead (and potentially top depending on the Sp*ds/Pool game.

We’ve really got to take advantage of this.

United can’t break down Crystal Palace at home

bruno or rashford has to come off. garnacho on.

martial (if fit) on for hojland.

Need to take Casemiro off at half time. He's got to be on a 100% loose first touch and wayward pass statistics.

And it better not be McTominay coming on

Casemiro has the biggest chance of scoring for United
You cant just sub your top scorer at half time

Not for Hojlund! He's the best "that should have been a goal" scorer in the league!!

Bruno and Rashford ya'll

Bruno and Rashford ya'll

Yeah I don't know, I love Bruno (pause ) but team was looking hella fluid without them, albeit against Palace reserves.


I would take off Rashford for Garnacho (who I don't really rate but at least his decision making is better) and give Bruno 20 minutes to do something.

We also have a weapon in Martial though. He looked excellent vs Bayern and Palace. Won't be happy if it means Hojlund coming off though

Lecce 0 - Napoli 2 : Osimhen

My starboy cooking

And they said last year was a one-off.

Need him to lay claim to taking PKs though. You’re the main 9, should be on PK duty even if you miss. That’s 2 PKs given to others since he missed against Bolonga….need to cut that out.

Only get better at PKs if you keep taking them

... and i mean at half time.

at 60 mins we have to be looking at further possible changes with possibly Hannibal/Eriksen on Pellistr/Casemiro off

maybe move amrabat into MF sub maguire/evans on.

 

[ciubaca]

is it me or does City have lots of matches where they have to come from behind?
Lack of focus?

 

[jj23]

Lol, he come close to scoring anything g yet?

Seems to be the way to go.

Look at 'pool

Not for Hojlund! He's the best "that should have been a goal" scorer in the league!!

he has the basic physical tools + movement but ... his biggest flaw (as a striker IMO) is that he does not strike the ball well.

in this regard he is the anti-RVP.

always scuffing the ball. rarely a clean hit.

maybe his boots are too big ...
