Manure are going to be a lot better than they were last season.
If you are honest you realise they they’re bestX1 is ahead than ours right now.
I know it’s uncomfortable but they tore us apart on the last day of the season and have improved since then.

You might be right but is Cunha significantly better than Fernandez? Diallo was their breakout star last year, so the net gain from signing Cunha and Mbeueno is small, or as a minimum adds a few more egos to their swelling bomb squad.

I’m sorry, this is nonsense. We played into their hands that last game of the season but they finished where they did for a reason. We’ve finished above them for the past two seasons for a reason.

If they add a few more and we don’t then it might start to become slightly more of a discussion. But they’d all have to gel together quickly and work within a system and with players they haven’t played together as a team. Our players have been Emery coached  for 2.5 years and are a way ahead as a side.

They’ve spent a fortune on two decent players. Loads of them probably thought Mount, Sancho and others would dazzle and they’ve done next to f*ck all. Who’s to say Cunha and Mbeuno won’t be the same. The evidence of the past 10 years is trending against them.

I’m less than thrilled with where the squad is at the moment. But I’d be very surprised if Man Utd completely flip where they’ve been. They’ve made a couple of decent signings, but don’t confuse our hoodoo against them with that being indicative of them recovering. That game was a real outlier, they might be a bit better, but they’ve got a load of problems. I’d be very surprised if they finished top 10.

Agree. They’ll just be slightly less shite than last season. We always make them look massively better than they actually are.

I am hoping you are all right, Amorin will have the luxury of a pre season to bed in his system and they have improved their attack.
If they can get the defence working then they will improve significantly.
We are down 2 significant players.
Digne SJM Mings Watkins have probably seen their best days.
I do not think our defence is good enough when we are  relying on Maatsen Cash and Torres.

They’re not better than us.  They just Manure us every season for some reason.  Go back to 1981 I still think they got a draw off us in one of the games.

From the friendlies and training photos Ozcan seems to be part of the first team squad and Mosquera has been given time in both matches so far, might be interesting to see how much more time they get on tour and I wouldn't be surprised if we see Jimoh, Burrowes and Hemming all around the squad through the next few months.

I'm not saying we should rely on these players but I think there's plenty of talent in the U21 and U18 squads and players at those ages can see pretty big jumps in performance in a really short time (see Rogers for example).
I hope this is the scenario. We seem to have a good crop of young players - particularly Borland and Hemmings - and Emery will hopefully develop them quickly into useful squad members.

Both. 2 x 3-3 draws.
