Not a bad window. An okay window. Certainly a window done on restraints. Looking forward to seeing us with a proper striker. I am not expecting miracles from him, but want to see some good work and as long as he is involved in goals, I'm not expecting 20 goals from him this season. Amrabat I think will bring solidity to the team, I think we will start to notice that in a few weeks. Mount will tinker along, we may see the best of him after Christmas.

Sydney who don’t play then if Mount is in 1st 11 Amrabat is in 1st 11 I presume Cas plays and Bruno plays? And Rasmus in 1st 11, does that already demote Mount to the bench?

Anthony misses out, Bruno or Mount on the right, with an out and out striker up front I'm sure this can work.

Wiggy, have you ever seen Bruno have an effective game from the right? Every single time he plays on the right the game passes him by.

Wiggly Do you think Ten will eat humble pie and stick his 80 million pound man on the bench? That be interesting.

I think he will drop anthony in the bigger games yes, I'm not a fan of Bruno on the right but I think it didn't work in the past as we haven't had a proper target man for a long time, hopefully hoijland can fill the void. You both seem very upset, maybe just wait and see how things play out and try and enjoy the season, we're not privy to what happens behind the scenes so no point worrying about it imo.

I class 1st team as the players who will likely play each important game.

First XI plus the likely subs.

I can understand that Sydney, but I can’t see Cas, Bruno sticking around if they sitting on the bench, not even 1 or 2 games it’s ok like at city when they winning things you have a chance of them not rocking the boat, or not so bad if they can see upgrades in there position, but that’s not so at this time, Antony or Mount I can’t see sitting on bench either, Rashford neither. Could create some problems, that’s for sure.

Onana
AWB
Varane
Martinez
Shaw
Casemiro
Amrabat
Mount
Bruno
Rashford
Garnacho
Antony
Hojlund

I think this 13 will always play if all are selected for the match day squad. So for me they are all first team players.

Might be alright if we can field 13!

Trafford, we have a lot of games this season. I'd say there's a good 16 players that we can use regularly. But 13 that will be happy being swapped around. Players like Antony, Garnacho and Rashford should be used carefully.

I'd also not expect to see Bruno subbed. I'd imagine Mount or Antony subbed depending on opponent or what's tactically necessary at that time.

My biggest concern still is where are the goals coming from, if I am honest I can’t even see Rashford getting near what he got last season, he seems to have gone back to not playing with a smile on his face again!
I think anyone who is not concerned about goals in this team is deranged, we could not get goals last season and only added an unknown to try remedy that and looks like we going to have an extra midfield player to shore up defence, as Varane injured more now and even he was moaning about number of games played before a ball was kicked this season, that don’t bode well.
We already got the worst goal difference out the top 8 in EPL and only played 3 games! And two of them games were against so called inferior opposition.

Goals will come now in my opinion. Two reasons why.

1) Hojlund, finally we have a proper striker who will cause defenders problems, Hold up play, make runs, this will give the likes of Rashford and Antony more freedom.

2) Amrabat/ Mainoo, an extra defensive midfielder will solidify the team. It will give the forward players more licence/ freedom to get forward without an eye on getting caught on the counter attack.

Goals will come, I do believe that.

We cannot play bruno, rash and cas the amount we played them last year. its asking for trouble. good window we have a deeper squad with better players.

If i had one wish list item, it would be a top CB and not another striker. Hoiland and martial cover that imo.

You know what Ahmad, never even considered the amount of games we were asking the lads to play last season. We’ve certainly added depth now and strength to rotate when necessary. Good point.

Bruno will insist on playing every game. But agree on the others. They should play 80%-90% of the season. Varane 50%, hence why we needed Todibo.
