Onana
AWB
Varane
Lisandro
Shaw
Casemiro
Eriksen
Bruno
Rashford
Hojlund
Antony.


That's our known starting XI.


Only 4 and Onana played today.

Onana is not part of the starting 11?

FYI Eriksen is no more a guaranteed starter.

Dalot and AWB is 50/50...

At most, we missed 4-5 starters...City are going through some form of injury crisis by nobody talks about it because they have a working system. We do not have one and nothing from our displays so far points to one.

ChristoBam:
Lol I know the football wasn't that great but that was the game plan. I knew immediately I saw the lineup. The target was the 3 points.

Whatever terrible football we played today, we did to protect our backline.

There's no way in hell we'd be exposing a defensive pairing of Lindelof and Evans to counter attacks.

Abeg stop making excuses for a poor performance...

You come across like someone too scared to admit defeat...What were we protecting with all those careless passes?

Burney is playing better football than us...

We have a long way to go...I love ETH but then, it is obvious that we are struggling even against this Burnley team that has struggled thus far.

AdisaOwala:
Are you surprised?

I do not what is wrong with him.

He is not improving his game at all.

Please you guys should pay special attention to McTominay.

McTom hiding behind Burnley midfielders. The idiot never moves into space.

Larride, whatever it is, you will come out stronger...Stay hopeful and strong...

See Elanga o!

Before man city signed him, I'm 100% sure is not going to be a flop when he come to premier league. The first day I watch him in euro 2020 against Italy dribbling anything that come his way. Have know the guy will be a beast winger... I suppose dey do scout work.. before dortmud signed halland I watch him playing in under 20 world cup scoring 9 goals in a match.. since that day have been following him.., I was telling someone that day this guy is gonna be a good striker, the guy was even arguing with me, that the team he is playing against is easy...

It is at the Euros I too first watched him. The guy is a fantastic dribbler. If he improves his end product/finishing, he will be unstoppable...

Doku is almost always certain to beat his marker. I'd love to see him against Wan-Bissaka.

Meanwhile, another signing for City at a very fair price. We should sign wingers who have the pace and trickery to beat their markers rather than what we have now.

Why is Antony not back?

Una dey see this useless club abi?

Afrodoc, any news on potential returnees ala Mount, Varane, Amrabat?

ChristoBam:
Lmao first loss at home since 1986. And there's a difference between losing a local game to Brighton and losing to a team traveling all the way from Greece.

I don't want to get dragged into putting United and Brighton at the same level. I'm just wondering the reason we didn't get a DZB update.

We've been getting updates every game Brighton's been playing na. Sebi ETH suddenly looks like a bum to y'all and DZB is now the new attractive thing y'all want to pounce on.

You are just impossible. Fans are upset that we got outplayed by a Brighton team that was heavily rotated but you are here trying to drag De Zerbi...If we played as well as Brighton did yesterday in half the game we lost, I doubt you'd be here doing this quasi-pro bono service you are doing...ETH and the entire Manchester United must be very proud of the job you are doing...Femi Falana of the thread...

ChristoBam:
Lose at home to AEK Athens? Lmao.

Lose at home to Brighton? The joke is on you.

ChristoBam:
No DZB alert today? Lmao. At home to AEK Athens.

If only we play like they do when we lose matches...

Try dey get shame sometimes...

afrodoc2:
Most definitely. If he improves his finishing/shooting he will be a major problem. Dribbling, close control, vision, agility, passing, and speed are all on point. Decision making will naturally improve as he matures.

The fact that he was an academy player at Chelsea yet it's Odoi that they were hyping speaks volumes of the average English football fan...They're too much about pace and power and little brains...

afrodoc2:
I no even trust that Amrabat will solve the problem.

Firstly, the team structure is defective. Secondly, Amrabat himself is not really blessed with pace from the little I have seen. Pace is what has been killing us in that midfield. If Casemiro does not somehow regain his form he will do to Amrabat what Eriksen is currently doing to him (Casemiro).

It's down to ETH to prioritize defensive cover for now. He has to ask them to sit at the base as DMs and free up the fullbacks to join the attack.

Mount is not what we need rather Amrabat, is someone who will help out Case and occasionally free him to go forward and attack.

everton4life:
Thank God it was not a humiliating loss sha.

But with the way bayern played today, Liverpool or even Brighton fit go toe to toe with them.

Onana I reserve my comment for now.

See how you talk about Liverpool like they're a small team. Liverpool will go toe-to-toe against Bayern.

We still can't press effectively...We tried pressing and each time, Bayern will play through our press...I don't know if our players take delight in watching the opponent play like there's nothing to play for.

Also, it seems our players are always in a hurry to release the ball...There are instances where our defenders will boot the ball even when we have the numerical advantage. You'd see 3 defenders unable to keep the ball when one forward player of the opponent charges at them...It is a big concern...

Again, I do not know why do not go after players who can dribble their way past a couple of opponents. Pace alone won't cut it as we have seen with Adama Traore and now, Rashford. Watch Doku a City and see how effortlessly he rides challenges...City signed him for £55m.

And then, there's ETH whose decision-making you have to question. Why was Hannibal not introduced at all even when it was obvious that Eriksen had gassed out?
McTom was poor against Brighton, why did he opt for him instead of Hannibal?

olabode89:
Upa just dey silence Rashy like academy player.. nawa o

Christobam will ask you if Garnacho will do any better.

What exactly has Rashford done in this game?

Rashford is a fool...

Three Manchester United players will surround a Bayern player yet he will come out with the ball...

Our players can't mark...

We have a group here who are selfless attorneys...

Gernacho and Onana-stan are leaders of that group...They will soon ask who we want to replace the plantain-eating Onana.

Expert17:
There is a reason De Gea is still at Home in September, he's the king of errors.

Calm down and watch our games, Onana will be fine.

Some of you support players rather than the club.

Expert17:
This one is still better than De Gea @ Camp Nou, so continue crying 🤣🤣

You should stop it already. So, Onana should keep playing nonsense just because De Gea made mistake a some point in the past?

Bruno is another brainless frog.

eph12:
Lmao but but DDG is clubless

Expert will still come here to yarn dust.

Expert17 you go hear am tonight.

Poor decision making.

See Rashford...
