Yeh because we didn't have the squad capable of playing a 4-3-3 and two of our best assets are the forwards, so I can understand forcing them in more last season. I was hoping this would stop once he's had the summer to work on his system, you won't get anywhere playing Ings and Watkins up front with only Coutinho in there to create chances.

Farlz Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Gotta be honest, we’ve added DC and Kamara and now that’s enough for us to jump up into the top 8/7 next season? After what I saw from Gerrard last season I think a few people are in dreamland. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCU Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just seen United's team, didn't realise how shit it still is. Van De Beek and Martial back playing who they were crucifying last season (along with the rest of the team tbh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I still think the best shape for this team is 4231. Solid base and plenty of attacking threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 As expected and barring injuries, this team will be very close to what starts at Bournemouth. Can only see Luiz, Bailey or Buendia possibly coming in, but eight or nine of these are nailed on to start the season opener now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that a good manager would, especially if we sign another starting player. Good chance to do it this season and prove he's worth sticking with IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 If two up top is going to be a regular thing, a more physical striker is a must. Like KD but not injured forever and actually able to score a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Gerrard still continuing down the Watkins-Ings route I see. Luiz and Buendia or Bailey should be in our first 11 most of the time next season but looks like they won't be. United have ben good in preseason so far but that first 11 still looks very average in places. Should be looking to get a decent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
