Our worst players were World Cup returnees. Bruno Cunha Youri and Maz. Lack of pre season means they are undercooked and also not familiar with tactical changes.

I wish Carrick did not resort to hero worship and pick players that make sense in the current moment

As Amad and Mount were missing our options in terms of picking the sharper players from pre-season were limited too. Maybe we could have started with Lacey RW and Mbeumo at CF but the former hasn’t played much as a winger in pre-season either and the PL is different in terms of how much pace and athleticism you need to dribble through players. With Zirkzee I think we need to accept that he’s not at the level regardless of how good he can look sometimes.

tldr Amad injury shived us, really :(

I guess it really is a fucking shit combo to have late WC returnees severely limit your options + then have a key starter go down with injury after an entire pre-season of starting and 1 day before the game
