[Bladeslad89]

Just seen our new manager.

ole gunnar solskjær!

Watching McKenna surely

 

[71Blade]

Ex manure manager Olly im not spelling his surname in the crowd.. interesting, mind way both clubs have started could be there for either team??

 

[Thrice]

Peck captain is an interesting choice.

 

[71Blade]

See how we defend the long throws from Furlong

 

[Ron_Justice]

Airport setup

 

[ASTONBLADE]

C’mon Blades!!!

 

[Tom Bott]

You could give a million monkeys a million typewriters and a million years and they still wouldn't have come up with that team.

AI requires no typewriter.

Believe in the future

 

[espoo blade]

To compound the pain, Viaplay has a horrible fucking echo which they somehow haven't noticed for 5 minutes?!

 

[Tongeincheek]

First game of this season I’ll be able to watch since the Bristol spanking. (As I work Saturdays)

Judging by that team selection that means I’ll only have watched the first and last game of Selles’ managerial reign.

 

[Seun]

Really looking forward to seeing that Peck Matos double pivot in action. Not surprised Gus has been sat down, we've looked very porous with him playing in midfield this season.

Cannon is a surprising almost baffling choice, but my biggest concern is that Ruben feels we're stuck playing Brooks on the right. His form has been diabolical but we clearly seem to still be lacking options there - Ogbene can't get fit fast enough

 

[Ron_Justice]

Gotta say, we're looking promising. High tempo, press, buzzing around the final third. Need to see the solidity in transition, but positive signs.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Looking decent so far, actually seem to be pressing high up and winning the ball

 

[BangorBlade]

Like Matos aggressiveness

 

[gooseh]

Canon hat trick tonight.

Of what, I'm not quite sure, but it's on

 

[Seun]

What a let off!!

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

So he had to pick between one of OHare or Hamer.

Barry shouldn't be on the pitch. Lightweight too one footed and moaning already

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Barry is such a wank player and he's first name on the team sheet

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Decent start. Cant say Barry and Brooks are brilliant but can see why we use them instead of Hamer out wide. Certainly not two bottom 6 sides tbf

 

[Thrice]

That's a penalty in the Premier League.

 

[MTBlade]

Impressed with Cannon so far.

Lots of movement and good link up play to be fair.

 

[Seun]

How is Brooks a professional footballer ffs?

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

Who on that team can score a goal is my question? We again look very weak in defence down the wings. 2 chances for Ipswich already

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

3 now

 

[drblade]

normal service resumed. FFS

 

[Seun]

Boom. Bye bye Selles

 

[Hollinsend]

That was unlucky

 

[jono_t2000]

We looked alright, just didn't look like scoring. Guess that's what happens when drop only 2 players to score this season

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Very unlucky

 

[Thrice]

Too easy again.

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

And the 4th they score
