Mount. We signed Mbeumo and Cunha to improve the first team and their best chance of doing that is with a striker to play off. If Mount has to play stick him at wingback
Id start Mount there over Dorgu all day.
 
He's just played 180 minutes and will have a week off before our game. That's great for us and his fitness levels. I think he starts on Sunday. I wouldn't bet against him having a decent showing against a vulnerable city side either. Mbeumo will be their main focus and will create space for Sesko to cause problems. If we play Bruno in the 10 role too I can see us creating a lot of opportunities.
 
Why would we play Mount as a wingback ffs..

We have a squad - not everyone has to be in the first 11 every game. If a player can't accept it he's not made for a big club.

Id play him over Dorgu as I happen to think he'd bring more to the position offensively with minimal impact to defence, relative to Dorgu.

That’s what happens when all of sudden after more then decade you have few players playing well at the same time. People get confused. If we did not get Lammens, for some people here Mount could probably end up as a goalie.
 
Mount at LWB. :lol: Some are genuinely cracking up here.
I don't feel passionate about it or anything like that, just commented in response to someone's wing back shout i'd personally rather Mount than Dorgu based on what ive seen of Dorgu. There are also far less versatile players than Mount (who i'm not a huge fan off FYI).
Not sure why Dorgu is so heavily criticised tbh.
It's not intended as an attack on him. I think he needs to show more than he has though, a good bit more.
And then bring Dorgu on for one of the 10s in the 70th minute?
No, nothing that radical.
 
He is injured but I still don’t expect Sesko to start…
Think he’s got to. Throw him in there feck it. Tony Marshall did it against Liverpool, Rashford vs Arsenal, who else?
 
Isak not in the squad, maybe Slot doesn’t like him right?

Or maybe its normal for a new played to be eased in. Sesko will start today

Rashford was a youth prospect who LVG would have been given little to no scrutiny for not starting also.

Sesko is a £70m striker who the manager is choosing to leave on the bench for a team who can barely score a goal, and who was signed specifically to help him resolve this.

Trust the process.

One has had a little bit of pre-season, albeit at a different club and has been training for weeks now while the other has been on strike with no training at all.

A bit different don't you think?

They actually both had a little bit of a pre season and Isak just played for Sweeden.

The main similarity it was both their first week at their club with little training with their new club. Sesko will start today (after starting against Grimsby and struggling with his fitness at the end) he rightly did not start the next game.

Another example. Eze did not start against Liverpool

Isak hasn’t played at all for anyone has he? Sweden maybe ? Sesko has already been eased in for us and played 2x full games for his country.

You know what I meant by pre-season. Playing for national team isn't that. Isak spent the whole summer on strike before joining Liverpool. And no one was complaining Sesko didn't start against Arsenal. It's the other games afterwards.

Not before the Burnley game. Like I said twice now he will start today

He started against Grimsby and struggled badly and was cramping at the end. That tells you where his fitness was
 
?? Sesko has played in 3 games for us, limited time yes, but completely different to Isak.
Not even sure what you are arguing about. Its not completely different. They both didn’t play the first game they could for obvious reasons (the same ones) which is what I said
 
I think Amorim gave a hint he'll start from what I understood in the press conference but could be wrong. May have interpreted it wrongly, but he did suggest its a good time to start him.
 
Needs to do something today
No pressure. First Premier league start in a Manchester derby. “Needs to do something today”

Hopefully some of the other 10 players can also do something.

If he can be a handful, be an effective link up man and get a few shots off, that’ll be a good start for me. We really to get our link up play up to scratch.

The team needs to get him the ball first of all. Thats been a real weakness for a long time.
 
I’m hopeful Cunha and Mbeumo will be able to do this, their passing is more accurate.
Yeah Cunha is a big miss, but it is going to take time. You look at the city attackers and they’ve mostly been playing together for years at this point. Hopefully we can put together some good moments today and actually take our chances for once.
 
Man City 3:0 Man Utd
£74m, feck me. I don't know why we got dragged into that bidding war with an obviously desperate Newcastle. Yes he's not had many games but show us something, anything at least.
 
On the ball today he was good, generally did well with what he had.

Off the ball he needs to improve drastically. Haaland in comparison was everywhere, constant runs off the ball into space, elite outlet.

When Sesko went off, we starting making better chances, but had no one on the end of them. Typical. This is something he can learn and improve on though, its not something that he cannot learn.
