Really hope the performance and result are good today. Ipswich's front 4 are all fast, talented, and direct, so defence needs to be wary. Glad to see Licha back at least.

It's the return of the rash
Are you going to apologise if we lose?
I just can't fathom thinking people need to apologise for an opinion. Odd folk who think they need to police positivity on behalf of the mods.
We just had a shite result against Hull, most of that lineup has disappointed us an untold amount of times before. If people want to doubt they're probably not wrong.
I do think we'll win this 3-1 or something though. We can't be shite enough to lose back to back against this quality and we rarely do.Come on Utd! Kick start our season please!Cunha needs to do a damn sight better up top this week, at least show that he understands how to play the role and lead the line, hold it up a bit and get others into play.
Maguire was slightly above average last year and had a few pretty bad games (him backing of Sobozlai or however you spell it at OT to let him score still gives me nightmares). Yoro was average last year. If that close, you start the younger guy with the higher ceiling + Yoro would let the entire team play higher up the pitch.
Its a no brainer.
Anyway 3-0 United. Lets go boys !The two kids who walked out with Bruno are Matty Blades kids- one to the Police Officers who died last week.
He's had time. And because of injuries he had plenty of chances last season. I hope he comes good, I rated him at Lille and was really in favour of his big signing when we made it. If he does make it I'll have been right, so thats great for me yeah? Well... He's had a slow transition from France... We really, really, really struggled last season when we played with 1 veteran CB and 1 of our young CBs Yoro/Heaven. Yoro wasnt even the best of those young CBs, although he did play more and Heaven might not have done as well if he played just as much.
We have plenty of games this season, he will get the chance to start soon enough. If he plays better than Maguire I'm all for him staying in. But it has not happened.That ex Celtic lad is gonna give Dalot the run around. Trust me, I know these thingsTake me hoooooome5-0Kick-off NewThey're going to blitz the shit out of us with pace.
Each to their own then.2-1 to us but Maeda to score a worldie or something first
Came to write this (unironically). Maeda is relentless.Great. Cunha up top. Aka behind Bruno cause hes like to roam about way too much.We'll get 10 minuted were we look up for it then drop offBased on this shit lineup, this is on Carrick today. If we lose or draw he deserves pelters, if we win he deserves credit.
This lineup strikes me as him sending a message of "We need a centre back, left back and a striker".
It didn't work last weekend. See if it's as bad again today.River?Am for let's get some points on the board today. No messing about.First home game of the season and Rashford starts.
State of this club ffs
I don't have time for crap
Unfortunately seems like Cunha up top. Look at him already. Sigh.
Not to mention they can actually recover from their mistakes unlike Licha and MaguireThere's a serious lack of legs and mobility in our lineup, hopefully with it only being Ipswich it won't matter but if they can put some decent counter attacks together it could be worrying.
Seeing Rashford, Maguire, and Shaw in the same staring lineup feels like going back in time too.
Still, we should have too much for Ipswich, expecting a win with maybe one or two nervous moments.Why try fit square in round holes?Can’t decide if Cunha is marking Bruno or Bruno is marking Cunha.Cnut Pawson the ref, not good.Noticed that Ipswich got some decent players in over the summer like Maeda, Enciso, Diop.Not getting good vibesSighEarly in the game but looks like we've made no adjustment in how Cunha plays which is odd after the last game.
I half suspect we'll see Cunha drop and feed througballs to Rashford.Christ Maguire is slow isn't he. I assumed he stopped running because he saw Dalot therefeck off Neville.5 mins in and we already look nervous and hesitantGarbage opening once again. Playing the ball around the defenders, no creativity.That's awful from Shaw. Should be a booking every time - possibly a red, imho. Real chance of seriously injuring someone just going into their body like that when they are mid-air.Hate to be another negative post but it is hard to believe that's still our back 4 in 2026! It wasn't good enough 4 years ago!
Shows how much we've neglected defensive recruitment this decade.Looking leggy already.
Can we have just a little bit of intensity please?
