We will have two new players on the bench but will ease them into the squad slowly.
Sensible move because need to sort out that spine as has been weak for yearsDe Gea
AWB Varane Timber Shaw
Kamara Donny Fernandes
Sancho Nunez/Nkunku Rashford
think it will be a lot less busy than many hope. Hell of a lot of players leaving. Think lots of youth players will join the squad - bernard garner levitt and mengi have had decent loans. Diallo and Pellestri probably be backup wingers. Donny will be like a new signing.
We’ll be making do for a while i think we will focus on the spine of the team first rather than wingbacks etc.
i think/hope the likes of Rashford, Shaw, Bruno and Maguire will return to form.

He is a bit hyped on here, everyone picks him for the starting eleven for some reasonvery funny to think timber is better than maguire under a competent manager
This looks about right to me but add a DM and only one of Fred or VDB starts, they make sense as a platoon anyways since one can defend and one can attack. Tchouameni I fear will go to Chelsea, so not sure who to name.DDG

Ten Haag may prefer team player (who fits his system) more than individual, so don’t be surprise he may have VDB starting over Bruno at some point of the season.
Regarding double DM, he has been saying in the past if playing in PL, will need more players playing with intensity in the middle of the park more than in any other league (something along that line) so I am guessing he would persist with double DM formation.
I don’t. We seem to try and ease in any new players anyway, and I don’t trust this club at all when it comes to doing business in the transfer market.Wow you haven't much belief of first XI signings
Surely any benefit of easing new players into this team is lost when the team is a smouldering pile of garbage. We could sign 6 new players, throw the all into the team and lose nothing, because we have nothing resembling a functional team to begin withI don’t.

Yeah, a competent manager would make Maguire turn faster than an oil tanker and be less of a clown with the ball under pressure.very funny to think timber is better than maguire under a competent manager
With the style Ten Hag uses Timber works much better than a Maguire would. Maguires passing often puts his team mates under alot of pressure, which alone would ruin any chance of us playing Ten Hags system.very funny to think timber is better than maguire under a competent manager
that is because he isn't playing under a competent manager. maguire is excellent on the ball. people have been fooled by how bad the team has beenWith the style Ten Hag uses Timber works much better than a Maguire would.

daley blind is slow and plays under ETH so clearly not a requirement. maguire has struggled on the ball since ralf took over because he has no options and the coaching is so bad. under ole he was better and we know ole still isn't a good coach. pep wanted him for his ability on the ball. he is surprise the parrots on here who just say he is bad over and over until it is a truth in their mindYeah, a competent manager would make Maguire turn faster than an oil tanker and be less of a clown with the ball under pressure.
That simply is not true. His passing has always been dodgy for us. It has just been much more pronounced and exposed when we have tried to play more progressive.that is because he isn't playing under a competent manager. maguire is excellent on the ball. people have been fooled by how bad the team has been
we will see. i think pep wanted him for a reason and i have seen that many times in maguire even under ole in a chaotic system. he should really shine under a good manager. his long passing in particular is excellentThat simply is not true.

Blind plays LB and doesn't turn slowly. His top speed is slow. ETH's starting CBs are 2 fast, mobile midgets.daley blind is slow and plays under ETH so clearly not a requirement. maguire has struggled on the ball since ralf took over because he has no options and the coaching is so bad. under ole he was better and we know ole still isn't a good coach. pep wanted him for his ability on the ball. he is surprise the parrots on here who just say he is bad over and over until it is a truth in their mind
From the below article a few facts about his 2019/2020 season under ole. imagine what he will do under a competent manager... at least warrants another opportunity.I dont think Pep would want him now though.
Maguire was good when Ole played a more defensive system with a very straight forward counterattack system. As soon as Ole tried to change that system it went bad.
I believe this is why Maguire works so well for the national team as well.
Ten Hag's system requires much more fluid movement and passing which, I believe, is something Maguire will struggle to do.
see my other posts with facts showing what you are saying isn't true instead of just the popular thing to sayBlind plays LB and doesn't turn slowly. His top speed is slow. ETH's starting CBs are 2 fast, mobile midgets.
Blind's also brilliant in the buildup and a great passer of the ball.
Maguire's always been a bit of an idiot on the ball, ever since we signed him. (hadn't watched him prior).
Well that just proves my point. He works in a very straight forward setup. The passing required for him under Ole was always straight forward.From the below article a few facts about his 2019/2020 season under ole. imagine what he will do under a competent manager... at least warrants another opportunity.
most progressive runs for a cb (105)
most yards carried for a cb (8400)
most key passes for a cb (17)
2nd in total passes for a cb, 3rd in accurate long balls for a cb
he is calm on the ball, progresses the ball, passes the ball. a complete ball playing cb
If ETH can't coach the team to press well enough to protect the defence then it won't matter who is centre back since we will often be leaving 2 defenders back. If its lindelof (far worse in duals and in the air than maguire) or varane it won't matter. if its fecking timber it wont matter. that is point of pressing, not just to win the ball back high, but to protect your out of position defence by not letting the opposition get their head up and pass. it is where ralf has failed so badly in the 5-6 months he has been here
