Anyone hear Ten Hag say "What the f*** are you doing?" ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounded like Nohlman

Amad looks to be struggling at this level.

Don’t think ETH will be happy with the performance after the changes. Obviously making that many at once won’t be a cohesive side but a lot of individuals doing things that he’s specifically said he doesn’t like to see happening.

Couple of the younger players have looked alright and are probably ready for some Carabao cup games. Some have just been tidy, and maybe can be subs for those games if we get easier draws.

I’ve seen very little from him to suggest he can be a top player.

ETH going nuts in the 88th minute 3-1 up vs Palace in pre season

Think it was aimed at DDG for booting it long?

Amad
Savage
Elanga
Hanijbal
Pallesti
Gaarnacho

All need PL or Chgampionship loans where they will start games.

He holds onto the ball too long. Whoever scouted him should be shot. ETH will not be happy with any of the youngsters today.

Massive waste of money, we'll end up selling him for £5m.

Pellestri or Amad to Ajax on loan to soften the blow when we take Antony.

Not a bad idea. Probably won't happen, but I like it.

Maybe send McT to Barca for FDJ too?

My first team watching us ETH and I enjoyed it. It’s pre-season so it would be foolish to get carried away but I thought Martial and Sancho very good and Rashford looks better also.

Bruno was still giving the ball away too much but I did see signs of him keeping it simple at times rather than always trying the most difficult pass.

The two full backs were decent also and the team actually looks like it has a plan and way of playing.

Second goal was very good.

I personally thought Martial was our best player. A goal, assist, involved in the 3rd goal, worked hard and linked up well. Should have scored another early on but fingers crossed he keeps up this attitude.

Maybe it’s wishful thinking but could ETH finally be the man to unlock his potential.

Where to next for martial after his failed loan move to Spain

Maybe the penny has finally dropped with him

It may be a small point but we've won every half we've played on this tour so far.

Hopefully. The ability is there and even though it is only pre-season it’s the sharpest he’s looked in some time and looks to be enjoying it. No point ever getting carried away with him but signs are good.

Yeh sure Martial. Looked really good.
Man, if this is the rebirth of the man, this season gonna be great.
Maybe we’ve got Rashford/ Martial tandem of 19/20 back again. Hope so

My concern is that we lack proven depth in attack. Martial, Rashford & Sancho aren't going to be fit all season and can't play every game. Pre-season signs look promising but we can't be reliant on just them.

Bruno is an option in one of those roles with Eriksen now able to come in as the #10 as well, so that's something. Ronaldo if he stays, though I feel he creates a number of issues. Elanga doesn't quite look at the level required and probably needs a loan somewhere, as does Amad & Pellistri. Would like to see more of Hannibal in a stronger, more first team representative lineup as he seems to have a bit of swagger about him and a more developed physique.

One more versatile attacker coming this window would be ideal.

Yes agreed. Preferably a left footed right winger for balance. We’ve plenty of options on the left but only Sancho is any good on the right.

Yep. Think Antony is the only player we've been linked with and there doesn't seem to be much action to support the alleged interest at this stage.
