-----------------------DDG
Dalot-------Varane-------Martinez------Malacia
-------------Eriksen--------Garner
Sancho-------------Donny--------------Rashford
---------------------Ronaldo
Rashford doesn't deserve to play but not sure anyone else is ready (Garnacho, Amad etc...). Sancho wasn't great but he at least offered a glimmer of something.
I like Bruno but he's bang out of form and Donny will at least add a link between the attack and midfield.
Get rid of Maguire, McT, Fred for the time being as they all just make the same mistakes week after week.
You could have Shaw in for Malacia, but kind of just can't be bothered to see the same bunch of dossers at the moment.
DDG was poor, but I'm not sure he was helped out massively by those around him when he was on the ball. Still that's not is game either so not sure where to go with that.
Thoughts? Other than wanting the season to end.

Maybe so but ETH bought them both to play, and Malacia was better than Shaw in pre-season so at least deserves a chance after Shaws performance yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We beat Liverpool 4-0 in pre-season. It means absolutely nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What if Shaws poor form has continued into the actual season, like yesterday? When then would a new signing in that same position get a chance?

My prediction for the line up (not what I want, but what I think we will see);
DDG
Dalot Maguire Martinez Malacia
Fred Eriksen
Bruno
Sancho *Ronaldo Rashford
*Martial will start if he's back fit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think you’re likely more or less right. It’s the side I’d probably pick if I were ETH.

Martinez was abysmal yesterday.
__________
He definitely wasn't.

As an impartial fan, I watch all the big opposition new signings with real interest. It was a debut so cannot expect total brilliance but Martinez cost nearly 50m and on that basis it was an underwhelming debut. He did look a bit all over the place. He may have been able to boss the Dutch league and win the most headers in that league but BHA is far from the toughest test he will get, but he looked shaky in a shaky defence

I think Garner has a football brain which is in his favour for starters over McTominay.
To quote Nohlman, McTominay wouldn’t start for any other Premier League team.

I did, yeah. I thought he had a very poor debut. Didn't look comfortable with Welbeck all match. Should have conceded a penalty and maybe got a second yellow for it too.
New player though so obviously he played well. That's the usual stance on here.
Eriksen I thought played well, especially second half. Martinez did not.

…..
Will he. We have never seen any evidence of this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's pretty much his game, if he can't do that then I dunno
Can't say I've ever really seen him play in that role for us to judge. Tends to come on in the deeper midfield positions.
