Not like we had much in the way of options with Pogba, Martial and Shaw all injured. This squad from midfield onwards is pathetically thin. Leicester are going to tear us a new one today. eta. Lingard is injured as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskaral Pust Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good win after a rocky start. An early kick-off after an international break makes it even tougher although, to be fair, Newcastle had some players missing with injuries too so a tough situation for both. I hope Origi isn’t too badly hurt. There was a big difference once Firmino came on though. It still looks like we can only really rotate in MF. Unless Brewster is a sudden revelation, we’ll be trying to play the same front three every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 8 minutes ago, Soylent Brown said: Re. United- they were suffering a lot of injuries at the back end of last season too - is OGS working the players too hard in training? Possibly him demanding more in terms of pressing has exacerbated the problem but I think the issue goes deeper than just Solskjaer's training methods since United players have been getting a lot of muscle injuries for years now. Read somewhere that United actually have the second worst injury record (after Arsenal) over the past decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not a good game to watch but it went much better than I expected it to. Leicester dominating possession very much played into our hands and hamstrung them because much like us, Leicester struggle to break down a deep defence and are far more effective playing on the counter. Aside from the Maddison chance, they were pretty toothless and United created the better chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 City getting schooled by a second-string Norwich side isn't how I expected this game to go I have to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Norwich have held up surprisingly well defensively. Let's see if they can keep that up for the whole game. Guardiola needs to bring on KdB asap. eta. fuck. I just cursed Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Anyway, on our game, not a bad result considering we started with nine men. McTominay played really well. Chong had a weird game after he came on coz it was part atrocious decisions and passes that made him look like a kid in the park, and part superb control and touches that took out half of Leicester's defence in one go. Hope he nurtures that second side as the nerves from playing for the first team get less obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 WRT to the City game. There won't be that many games in which they are held scoreless. I thought they'd overturn that deficit in the second anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Brilliant counter-attacking football from Norwich. They also defended extremely well which was surprising seeing as how it looked like this team would leak goals. They did a great job at keeping City out of the box which resulted in City having to resort to lumping in crosses. Looking at how poor City were defensively, Laporte's long term injury could be a major problem for them. With Kompany released as well, that just leaves them with Stones and Otamendi as the only senior CBs in the squad. Guardiola will probably resort to using Fernandinho at CB.
