Brothers gonna be in the home end at the away to Sunderland mate, initially worried in case something kicked off, no fears now as we will get tonkedHe doesn't look to me like what we need right now. I like his frame but I just dont think dropping 45m on a young kid with very limited experience is the right way for us to go atm
1st game of the season tomorrow and we basically dont have a proper right hand side. It would be laughable if it was any other club but its not funny at all as its our club and we are short once again when the season comes around.
Cup tied too

Re/ Sunderland, the have Tai Hume, who'd walk into our starting team, they just went out and brought in a 31yo guy from PSG to back him up and provide depth RB at CB...
Meanwhile we announced a fat lard arsedd third keeper.
Utd under Ferguson averaged around 55% possessionNo idea what you’re talking about. Counter is easiest way to score goals and one of the best tactics to use in football if you have fast players.
UTD under fergie
Chelsea under mourinho
Leicester under ranieri
Liverpool under klopp
All played counter attacking football full of pace with great success.
Only city manage to do it the with slow pep football after spending a billion to build a squad capable of that. We can’t.
no it was a league match, just checked...he didn't play their cup gameCup tied too
Utd under Ferguson averaged around 55% possession
Klopp Liverpool closer to 60%
Mourinho's Chelsea had a superb defence to back it up as well as elite forwards but again his possession stats were over 50% on average, and he usually sat back when winning
All three could counter but it wasn't their main tactic
Leicester yes, but it suited so many teams trying to be more controlling a la Pep at the time.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Moyes tactics at all given the overall quality of the squad, but Leicester under Ranieri is the outlier and other factors helped them do it
tbf to Moyes he had West Ham playing some nice counter attacking football for a while, think we'll grab a few unexpected results that wayCounter attacking when done properly and not kick and rush is lethal, Forest did it well last season and Leicester did too.
Not to mention Morocco did it expertly during the last work cup, but it only works if your team is defensively solid.
I do like the counterattacking teams when it’s done right
Send the scouts to Bristol I sayBristol City, they are can be quite crafty with some of their recruitment (similar to Cov) Grealish clone Alex Scott (also a Bournemouth player) also came from there.
Make sure they have their jabs first thoughSend the scouts to Bristol I say
Our starts to the seasons have been poor since Moyes first time if not before.I don't think it's so much the new ground, just we've been pants in the last few seasons getting off to a good start. We've struggled in pre-season and I doubt confidence will be where it needs to be.
Like you say, let's hope we stuff Leeds and then beat Brighton and we'll have no such problems.
