Summary of preseason
the injury curse continues with hojlund and yoro out for extended periods, and others with niggles and knocks. ETH might need to pray more to Hua Tuo
with shaw gaining fitness and malacia still out, got to see amass played decently in DL position. ETH may pick him for the Com Shield but think will revert to dalot when the season starts. other players like amad, collyer, wheatley, hugill also played well, the youngsters can continue their development with loan moves. amad is definitely pushing for a regular spot as AMR
Season 24/25 expectations
defensively, cut out mistakes and concede less. offensively, score more goals. overall must improve consistency and mentality
if there are less injuries this season, aim for a top 4 finish in BPL. if the curse continues, happy to qualify for EU. runs in domestic and EU cups as deep as possible
vs city in the Com Shield, first XI: onana, AWB, amass, lindelof, martinez, casemiro, mctom, amad, mount, rashford, sancho. tactics will be similar as the FA cup final, soak pressure and counter with pace
