| Presser 13:31 - Sep 11 with 2201 views | PhilTWTD | Everyone back in full training apart from Jack Taylor. Azor and Jaden back with the group. Tough pre-season, so going to CP with virtually everyone available is a big positive. |  | | |  |
| Presser on 13:31 - Sep 11 with 2175 views | PhilTWTD | Response to difficult start was a positive. Could have feared that would run away from us but stayed competitive. Threat we carried was positive. Punished for mistakes, which we've spoken about. |  | |  |

Flemming trained well, knew we needed someone in there. Good addition for us, expect him to play a big part on Saturday. |  | |  |

Similarities between Palace last year and this year. New manager trying to get them to play as he did at Lens, but lots of similarities with Glasner's style. We go there ready to give everything, full of optimism and intensity. Never managed a win as a manager at Palace, that doesn't mean anything. Group confident but have respect for Palace, won a European competition last year. Fourth game and fourth team in European competition. |  | |  |

Excited to work with Leif again, great guy. Should be on three goals, another one at Old Trafford and one against Liverpool. We're going to need him this season, is a big part of what we're doing. |  | |  |

Maguire/Greaves goal, I don't think it should have stood, but it's two weeks' ago, we've moved on. I expect the rules to change around that. Whether accidental handball is debatable. |  | |  |

Scherpen no part to play in the 5-2 at Old Trafford, against Liverpool, parts in the goal when Kjell and others have to do better. Save from Szoboszlai special. New league, no problem with how he has settled. Good goalkeeping group here. Pleased with where they're at. |  | |  |

Won once, lost to two of the top teams. If we'd gone draw, draw, draw, everyone would say we're unbeaten. The fact we've lost to MUFC and LFC is irrelevant. We had game plans which gave us a chance in those games. Palace the same again, tight pitch, close atmosphere. Need to find way around dealing with setbacks better. |  | |  |

Takes a while for managers to instil what they want from a team, Andoni with Liverpool last week, Sage at Palace, who I played against last year at Lens. But same with us, different manager and different league. Confident we're in a good enough spot to compete with Palace and aim is to come back following a performance which looks like what we've planned. Wharton great talent, unbelievable passer of the ball. Good group, strong squad, know what they're doing at the level and one we're excited to test ourselves against. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Jaden and Azor, lose momentum after injuries. Frustrating not having Jaden, setback after earlier injury. Has done well in training and would be able to start the game. Whether full 90 , not sure, but fitness staff have given nod. Azor, a bit longer before he's able to start. Important for the group. As good as it is to sign players, but the ones who have been here are vital to the group. |  | |  |

Break division down into chunks? Look at opposition differently. Less aggressive against LFC and MUFC, almost a back five. Against the top teams, play the game in smaller areas. At Old Trafford we did well in those spells. It was only when he became more open. Will be less aggressive in those games. In terms of points totals, not going to get drawn into that outside narrative. We're just looking at three points Saturday, then review with the players afterwards. Things like the handball, Sunderland free-kick etc, we can't spend too much time on. |  | |  |

Partnerships which have impressed you? A few out there Emmy's really impressed me, him with Julio as a 10. Expected Emersonn to take a while and as we didn't sign another number nine later, meant he played more than we expected. But he's done exceptionally well. All the players understanding what we're trying to be and the level of understanding they've shown has been very good. We've just got to work on how we cope in difficult spells. Can't microwave team developing, takes time in all areas of the team. All going to need work, doing lots of tactical work on grass. |  | |  |

We'll just have to quickly air-fry a team instead then. [Post edited 11 Sep 14:20]

Probably needs a Davis draft excluder style thread I’d say… [Post edited 11 Sep 18:36]
