Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 7th August 2022]

Perversely it will be better in the long term if we lose this today. It will highlight the how much needs to be done and how many more players need to be replaced. We are kidding ourselves if we think Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay should be anywhere near a starting line up.

And that wasn't obvious last season? Or the season before? Or the season before?

Exactly - and they had given Solskjaer a long contract. Don't forget we bought Sancho, Varane and got Ronaldo last summer - On paper it was exactly what we apparently needed. Unfortunately OGS just couldn't coach.

Incidentally, DeGea has been crap today you really notice how deep we get with him after seeing how the likes of Liverpool play.
 
The issue is the lack of coaching and tactical acumen our players possess after 3 years of almost complete reliance on having a good couple of moments of improvisation to win games. The difference between pre-season and today is stunning and should tell you everything you need to know about the issues they have. They have reverted to what they know. We are playing very very similarly to how we did last season.

ETH has got his work cut out and unless he gets another 3-4 first XI players in before the window closes we will have a bumpy ride this season.

Brighton are a hard team to play against for everyone so this is an awful first game for EtH but he won't have been expecting this level of capitulation.
 
just stick on the kids and go all out attack. Nothing to lose. I can't see us scoring 3 with the team from the first half. The kids will have some drive and a point to prove. Go all out I say.
 
Not sure why anyone would expect anything less, he has the same squad of “not good enough” players as previous managers.

Fred still not good enough, mctominay still not good enough, Maguire still not good enough, rashford still not good enough, the list goes on.
