Calling it early. My fellow Empire soldiers we have a personnel and a coaching problem. We are lacking in quality personnel in the attacking midfield position and in forward. In the number 10 position we are weak on two fronts. Mata, who has the guile to unlock opponents’ defenses lack the speed and bite that is needed to play that position. The alternative, Jesse Lingard, has the speed but lacks all the guile to threaten any defense. Pogba, is the best player for that position in the team, but moving him further forward leaves our back weakened. The solution is to get either a player that has the combined skills of speed and guile to play the number 10 position or get a quality defensive player to push Pogba further forward.
The other problem we have is Rashford. I’ve always had my reservations against English players who I know are only kick and run players. Rashford offers only speed and high work rate but needs several opportunities to score one goal. Young James is the same with less quality. Greenwood shows glimpses of real quality and composure.... more than Rashford and I think he may eventually be a better forward. Rashford should be used on the wings. He reminds me of Theo Walcott who thought he was better playing in the middle instead of the wing.
So we solve one problem so we create another. Lindehof is now becoming a liability. Tuanzebe should be chomping at the Bits to start the next game.
That brings me to the coach. After four matches in the new season he’s not showing me any signs of tactical acumen. His team setup and style of play are not proving successful in breaking down well organized defensive teams. Our attacks, despite having all that speed upfront, is still as predictable as it was under Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho.
This is going to be a very frustrating season and we will be challenging for 6th.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
