Hehe Thanks bro. The best birthday present as him not playing

Matic! Just wow! What a player guys. I liked him, but never really saw him as closely as this

To dust off a old annoying over used phrase he's a "Claude Makelele type player"

My friend and I were just saying that now. Such important players and it takes a certain type of player.not to many around that run one way, that gets in a tackle, but has a good pass in them as well, a reader of the game, able to make space or get pass a player, plays with ease but gives us so much

In the end of the game, there is a moment where him and Pogba are hugging and it comes across as though Pogba is praising, almost thanking him

^, the box-to-box midfielder...was going out of fashion for awhile.

My preference to the CDM or Holding MF

happy birthday to the Leos ... and what a way to celebrate ..

Agreed about matic .. didn't really watch him as closely until we got him in a red shirt .. but what an impact ... why are we still paying that juventus scout .. we should get in the chelsea scout next !!

 

[cenredash]

I was joking bro

its all good!! ... I know it is the beginning of the season and there is an international after the leicester game in two weeks time ... but this one game a week thing is killing me .. pool lucky to have the hoff tomorrow night ..

It's a personnel thing...box to box players (proper ones) are not easy to find. Much easier to find a sitting midfielder.

any news on the 4th elusive signing... still think we need one more.

Talk of re-opening talks with Perisic and the court issue (restricting Aurier's visa) was positive so we may get him - play as a overlapping LB with Rashford

Bale is hovering about with eyes on whether they get Mbappe

Hear they keeping an eye on Rose's situation

All focused on left flank player

This is what Jose had to say about Lindelof, I think it's the right move to ease him in. Although if you see what Madrid did to Barca at Barca I don't think he did too bad of a job.

"I think Real Madrid was too early for him," he told a news conference. "He played because Jones and Bailly were both suspended. I had players coming from different leagues to the Premier League and normally it is not easy. The difference with Lukaku and Matic is that they have years of experience of the Premier League.

"I brought in 2004 a phenomenal central defender to England, Ricardo Carvalho. He was one of the best central defenders in the last decade of the Premier League, but he struggled. It was difficult for him to adapt in the beginning.

"I think Victor needs time, a little bit of time. He's going to have that time. [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan is not a defender and last season he needed this time. So step by step because Victor is a fantastic player."

 

[dbecks]

We have a good defence with Bailley and DDg at the spine. Jones, Valencia, Smalling (at times) all provide good support. We did well against Madrid and even Zidane said they wouldn't want to meet us too in the CL

Lindelof has time and lots games this season to get in. Worked with Mickhi so I'm ok with easing him in

With all the talk of the first game and the spine I nearly forgot about andreas pereira.. His squad number changed to 15 with name andreas on the shirt.

Still hope he gets some games

1: De Gea 2:Lindelof 3: Bailly 4: Jones 5: Marcos Rojo 6: Pogba 8: Mata 9: Lukaku 11: Martial 12: Smalling 14: Lingard 15: Andreas 16: Carrick 17: Blind 18: Young 19: Rashford 20: S. Romero 21: Ander Herrera 22: Mkhitaryan 23: Shaw 25: Valencia 27: Fellaini 31: Matić 36: Darmian 38: Tuanzebe 40: J. Pereira 45: O’Hara.*

Yep, looking forward to seeing him play. The team that started looks like the right first team. You could get Herrera in there for away games. You could also alternate Rashford and Martial
