He was absolutely attrocious in that game. Every pass was to a Palace player. Rightfully yanked for VdB.
McTominay is not a true holding MF. He wants to get forward to often and is more a box to box type. He, VdB, Bruno and Pogba are your attacking mfs.
Matic and Fred are your holding.
So glad ManU started a week after Spurs.
Welcome Bale and Reguilon after we looked like ####. ManU, who you gonna get now?
Reguilon is the one I'm disappointed in not getting. Didn't want Bale (age, inj history, wages...). Sounds like a move for Telles may be coming (which means next window or two if ever).
Still need Sancho, CDM and a CB.
As for the game, no one looked good. Lindelof was the only player worse then Pogba. Shaw doesn't track back fast enough and get goalside to stop the first goal. Thats often a problem with Shaw. Looked like De Gea slide to far over and with better movement may have saved it. Lindelof handball then gets easily beaten by Zaha for the 3rd.
VDB with a nice debut. For those asking why he didn't start? He is the depth behind Pogba and Bruno. I didn't expect him to start and I don't expect to see they 3 in the same MF unless you go 3 in the back. Matic or Fred need to be in behind whichever two are playing.
I do have a few questions on that PK sequence.
1) Why would that not be considered ball to hand?
2) Did they change the rules again and you have to be touching the line as a GK? i thought you just had to be over the line which De Gea was.
3) Why are you allowed to change PK takers on a retake like that?
