Most of the so called pundits have them potentially challenging for the title, but here is the crazy, or not so crazy thing, I think we have got the better defence and midfield pivots. I’d take Tonali and Fernandes over any of their four, including Baleba. They have the better front four, but Savinho and Marmoush should close that gap as well as Kudus returning, and possibly Gakpo as well. I actually have a sneaky feeling we will finish above them.
I’d be disappointed if we didn’t finish above Utd this season. Very average side and squad,
Evening, Daniel.
There is a slight worry that we've lost Levy’s sensible bookkeeping, and gained a couple of rich kids who spunk all the inheritance for likes.I see a post on social media saying that we walked in to TK Maxx this window and paid full retail for everything
You would rather we were more cautious and more frugal in negotiation and signed fewer if any of the new players this summer?
Their midfield is unbalanced and thin, both in quality and quantity. They have CL to worry about too.
Baleba will be interesting
Youri will do that, everyone else for his running
Heavy reliance on him
Tielmans and Mainoo are their passers.
Tielemans, Fernandes, Baleba, Mount, Mainoo, Santos. No matter how you compose that midfield , it doesn't scream balance and quality.
They have a number of good defensive midfielders and in Fernandes one of the best creative midfielders in the world. Tielemans also has a great eye for a pass and quality on the ball.
Maybe Carrick is bringing the diamond back?
