Suicidal to play that exact same formation today, imo - they'll carve us wide open straight through the middle

Yep

I can picture it now. Shakespeare on the touchline doing the 'compact' signal to the players (because he saw Claudio do it and it seemed to work), whilst the Man Utd players run through the lines with ease.

Lukaku bullied Morgan last season and may well do so today as well. They'll also bully us at set pieces. I fear the worst.

Mahrez and Vardy on the break are our only chance. I don't think their defence is much good and we can definitely cause it more trouble than West Ham and Swansea. Unfortunately, I can't see us having the ball enough.

The movement that their front 4 and Pogba offer is world class and yet Shakey persists with a two man midfield, one of whom still doesn't look mobile enough after a long term injury.

It's going to be the same story all season. We'll hold poor teams at arms length at home but concede absolute bucket loads away from home.

Can we just fast forward to full-time please. Let's get this misery out of the way.

Leicester are the best team we face at the beginning of this season ... Jose.

Well given that Real Madrid beat them I think it's safe to say we should win comfortably if we're better than Madrid.

Ulloa not even in the bench with his shiny new contract. As has been said elsewhere what does he really expect to happen this season that's different to last?

 

[glyn]

Lukaku bullied Morgan last season and may well do so today as well. They'll also bully us at set pieces. I fear the worst.

Yes, a team that bullied us last season strengthened by a player who has scored plenty against us. Not going to be pleasant.

Should be mega high scoring this.

Hit them on the counter.

Decent start.

Man U goal disallowed for offside. Wrong decision. Nice.

 

[Jeff]

Good save Schmeichel. They're well on top now.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Two very close shaves, Maguire needs to be a bit rougher on Lukaku.

Make that three close shaves. Cracking save from Schmeichel.

The United fans behind the arsistant seemed to be happy with the decision. No replay on the stream I am watching.

Double negatives always confuse me.
