Hhtoon Posted August 1, 2024 Share Posted August 1, 2024 Fuck, so you're telling me we lost the injury list cup as well? It's like the carabao final all over again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManU have been very lucky injury wise that hes largely been unscathed, but I predict he'll start to show signs of all the over-usage/age this season. We'll get champions league or EL next season and ManU will battle for 6/7 with Villa would be my guess. Bruno F is 29, not 39. He'll be absolutely fine playing a load of football again this season.

Geogaddi Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 I know it cost us a place in Europe but that fluke win over Man City in the cup final is a blessing in disguise, as it's literally the only reason Ten Hag is still the manager and it will benefit us once the season starts .

It is pretty weird. Only thing I see important about preseason games is so players gain match fitness, and ideally see some patterns of play develop. The score is completely meaningless.

Feel free to point out where I said that for the preseason games we've won. Between ourselves and Liverpool there were probably 5 or 6 players who actually start games. Just a fitness exercise. We've a glorified friendly next Saturday for the first teamers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 It’s an insane narrative to start judging teams off pre season a) if your going out of your way to watch pre season games on tv your a weirdo. Fair enough if just to fill a spot and not take seriously b) if you could read anything off them you would have Chelsea in the top 4 last season. Read into that how much they are a reflection of real life games … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie, I'm quite surprised by your team at the moment. Been linked with lots of players but just Yoro has come in so far with Zirkzee. Neither of who are likely to hit the ground running early on. With Yoro being out and Zirkzee having got the extra break. Looking a lot like last season's lineup still. A bad start could lead to all sorts of drama. And Gareth will be waiting ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Ten Hag has ever been able to select his first choice eleven. Could be an interesting season. Having Zirkzee as a backup striker is certainly much better than having an injured Martial though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, the team is going to be looking crazy the first few games. The Ugarte and DeLigt deals have been so slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 Just now, KaKa said: The Ugarte and DeLigt deals have been so slow. Ugarte was waiting on the Joao Neves deal completing. I would expect us to push hard for that over the next week. McTominay and Wan Bissaka need to be sold for De Ligt and Mazraoui to come in. All personal terms already agreed with all the players. I do think they'll all arrive before the end of August. Ugarte is essential though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly I haven't heard anything about us going for him this summer. We were very interested in him before and held talks with him, but they must not have went very well. Ugarte would be enough in midfield this season though. Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes, Mainoo, Mount, Eriksen and Collyer would be more than enough to see us through. I'd expect Casemiro and Eriksen then to both leave next summer at the latest, and another midfield signing to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
