Weekend football (10th-12th August)
Assuming Ulvers is busy so here’s the first weekend football thread of the season!
Man Utd 1-0 up against Leicester with a Pogba penalty.
Pereira in midfielder looks quality for a youngster at Man Utd, and Chillwell and Maddison for Leicester are literally the two players our squad desperately needs.

Where's Ulvers?
Maddison looks like a very good player.

Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
He does doesn’t he? Hasn’t looked out of his depth at all so far.
Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
Leicester in general look good, shame they gave away a stupid penalty.
Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
Rashford is not a good player.

Or he's been played out of position and constantly rotated under Mourinho in a team that gets dominated in possession by Leicester.

Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
I just don’t think he’s a 9, his pace is better utilised coming in from out wide in a front 3.
Always liked the look of Bailly, I know he’s been injured a bit but he’s a £30m defender who should be given a proper run in the team.

Like TBC says he's never a 9. Makes all the wrong runs and just isn't a good enough finisher. He scores less than Ayoze.

Bailly should be off.

I've just spent two minutes on bbc football trying to find Sunderland score. Took me a while to realise I shouldn't be looking on the championship page

Leeds looking really good again today. Don't think they'll keep this up all season but great to watch at the moment.
Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
I heard something about them being in training 9 until 7 every day (obviously with breaks and stuff). That's a risky strategy for an already light squadDonkey Toon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 5:56 pmLeeds looking really good again today.

Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
Yeah I saw an interview with a player (can't remember which) and he said they were having 3 training sessions a day, although he said much of it was tactical training rather than physical. Even so.Sir Bobby wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 6:26 pmI heard something about them being in training 9 until 7 every day (obviously with breaks and stuff).

The energy they have shown first two games is outstanding but I can't see them maintaining it for too long. Especially when they come to the Xmas fixture congestion.
Re: Weekend football (10th-12th August)
I figured a lot of it would be tactical. I don’t know how many hours are typically spent on tactics but my gut feeling is that more could/should be spent on it. Maybe it’ll do Leeds well, and, as you said, if their first two games are anything to go by it would seem soDonkey Toon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 6:41 pmYeah I saw an interview with a player (can't remember which) and he said they were having 3 training sessions a day, although he said much of it was tactical training rather than physical.

Liverpool look absolutely incredible, especially as west ham have strengthened themselves well and have a good manager in Pellegrini.
