Who would you have as deepest CB? Maguire is slow so maybe him but Varane is also slower than his best but has better positional intelligence.
Think i would go with Varane and keep Maguire to the left where Malacia has the speed to get back and help out.

You're right but it would only be temporary until we get Rabiot/FDJ in and then when Martinez returns to CB, Ten Hag prefers Maguire on the right?

Tbf it's never going to happen is it. You don't buy a CB when you've identified it as a key priority and then not play him there.

I'm going to ask the question no one's mentioned (or have they I can't remember) but is Martinez height a problem in the PL?
 
Three centre halves and a dcm?

Very defensive.

Agree that AWB is a very good option on the right of a back three mind.

If this were the case, I'd be half inclined to play Sancho as wing back instead of Dalot.

Admittedly, we don't know whether Sancho could do the defensive side of thing.

What we do know though, is that Dalot ****ing can't.

I worry about our CB's lol

Only if the PL has a high proprtion of unusually tall strikers.
The man has played in the Dutch league and more importantly the CL and has a very good areal duels won percentage (68% i believe).

I've got a slight issue with this team, if not the line up.

I genuinely think that Rashford, Shaw and Dalot shouldn't play for the club again. Preferably ever.

Not sure who right back then is, I admit.

A traditional full back would be Wan Bissaka. I'd like Laird at wing back but off on loan again I hear?
 
ETH uses one as a sub for the other depending on vulnerabilities/strengths shown during the game

I like your formation but not keen on Shaw any more. Malacia should start and if Shaw wants to play he has to fight for his place.

In fact there are a few in that squad should be made to fight for theirs.

It's a shame for the lad after a good year on loan with Forest

It could well be Forest with the offer, he did well there and is probably valued. I am surprised that Ten Hag not looking to give him a chance given how ****e the current alternatives are.

Hopefully it points to us making a certain signing.
 
Disappointed tbh.

Maybe the likes of Iqbal and Hannibal are more favoured by Ten Hag to bring them through.

Would've preferred him to go out on loan again. Maybe his age is going against him and the club feel he should be allowed the opportunity elsewhere.
 
Talking of loans, another out is Ethan Laird, which also baffles me.

Ten Hag clearly doesn't rate AWB and Dalot is a mediocre right wing back at best.

I’m reading now too that we are looking to sell Garner for £14m.
 
I hate to bring this up again, fellas, but it is critical to let Ronaldo go before the transfer window closes. Anyone that denies that he is not happy being in that squad and now has negative impact on the team on a whole is either be delusional, or even worse, is choosing to remain negligent.

Diego will come back asking me for proof!
