Mina was there. We haven't had Kean for a year. Coleman, iwobi and Keane have been part of the first team all last season. He was missing 2 players from our first 11 last season, that's it. Don't twist the narrative and get your head out Benitez' backside.
Oh and gomes was missing as well but that's not a massive loss thinking about his performances last season.

If this actually happens, or lets just say he lasts until Christmas.
What next?
Who can we bring in to right the wrong?

Id have gone for Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon or Gallardo at River Plate.
Lets see how they both get on this season...
If anything, Kean and Gbamin are 'bonuses' for Benitez as they werent about last season.
Plus his 3 signings.
Hes got 6 winnable games before United...any less than 14pts and i think we're in trouble.

Oh here he is, billy liar.
This squad has Brazil's centre-forward, internationals for top tier nations in nearly every position. That you're now right up the hoop of the busted flush of a Kopite fat-slug who has already added a heaving pile of tosh into the squad isn't anyone else's problem but yours.
You literally made up another lie this morning about songs at yesterday's game. Do you think you might be a fantasist?

I mean, we conceded 3 goals with most of our first team from last season. The u18s were used later on. Gbamin and Kean haven't been with us for a year so it's hardly a loss from last season. And gomes and siggy aren't abd weren't our first choices last season when players were fit.
We were missing dcl and richie in terms of first choice players.

This is how I see it
If/when Benitez gets sacked we are back at square 1
Maybe we can get by this next season with a mid table finish, and then have a rid out next summer when some of the less desirables contracts expire.
What with all this ffp, doesn't look like we can spend, so it's struggle on and build from there.

That's a decent call, the only worry is that better players like DCL, Richy, Godfrey and Digne might not fancy treading water for another 12-18 months before we start getting our [Poor language removed] together. Been impressed by what iI've seen of Gray so far though. Really not hopeful for this season but I can't wait to get back there next Saturday.

True. Without the Pickford howler who knows what would have happened. Very easy for heads to drop thereafter and for a difficult afternoon to become impossible. That doesn't matter though, next weekend does.

14 points from our first 6 would be a fantastic start, but to say you think we'll be in trouble if we don't get that is a bit OTT.

Fingers crossed, we might be able to add more quality in the winter window, dunno, ffp again.
We MUST start well though and have Brands do his job properly, maybe Benitez with Brands and cash to spend, I seriously dont think the football to come can be worse than a lot of last seasons performances.

Top tier nations. Absolutely.
Pretty sure only Pickford from yesterday started the last international game for their nation.
And Gbamin and Kean, they would have played CB a major part.
The goals you gave away were poor, but looked like rusty first day back of term type goals. Pickford only just back.
Gbamin would have played and given the midfield a different flavour.
If we had DCL and Richarlison, then their midfield would have had something else to think about. I’m no saying we would have won at all, but it’s a futile exercise evaluating friendly games.

Richarlison, Copa America final.
Mina, Copa America semi.
Squad full of multi-cap full tier internationals.
Several of them went to the Euros.
