Our first game of the season, I can't wait. Wolves the toughest opposition anyone's had to face all weekend. I think it'll be an enormous challenge but we'll just about manage a 4-0 win. Team for tonight, who will start? What's our strongest 11?
I’d like to see Garnacho starting games. He’s better than any other option on the left side. And the more games he can get under his belt, the faster he will develop. Antony and Sancho won duke it out on the right side with Rashford probably starting in 9. It will also be good to get to see where Mount will fit in in terms of contribution to the play.
Yeh I was thinking about whether Garnacho should start or have Rashford there. You're probably right with Rashford starting up front but he's just not very good in that role. When does Hojlund start?
Very. Garnacho over Sancho, fair does. Very strong bench too. Wasn't expecting Henderson to be on it!
Don't forget we will need GK cover for Onana for the Africa Cup of Nations in Jan/Feb next year. Busy time of the season for us.
So far in this game, Antony repeatedly breaks down attacks on that right hand side. There is zero penetration down the flanks even when wide open from him because he always has to switch back to his left foot.
Garnacho needs to do better with his decision making when he is on the ball. Right now, the left and right flanks are not used effectively.
I think Rashford should've started on the left and Garnacho on the bench. Had Eriksen also in midfield and Mount in a free role.
I don't think there is anyone hence play Mount in a free role, even as a false 9. Rashford is wasted up front and Garnacho has been poor against their full back. Rashford's physically stronger and would be better there.
I don't even think it matters who the no. 9 is in this game. We have barely created anything up front. So disjointed! Then look at the way Wolves are running from the flanks to get a reminder of what are are not doing.
Could stick Sancho up front? It wouldn't be Mount though. Highlight's vividly that just Hojlund was never enough. Bring back Weghorst I say.
We need a change at half time, this is awful. Sancho's a good shout. We definitely need a backup striker.
The flanks are poor! It’s forcing Rashford to come out deeper. One time that Antony goes down the right flank, his right leg legs him down. Why the f do we keep playing him as first fkin choice when he can’t even cross a ball with his right foot?
