No way Heaven gets in our strongest 11. He is too susceptible to mistakes and lacks concentration, and I don’t think Carrick thinks that highly of him either. I hope he eventually gets to our strongest 11, but he currently doesn’t make it.
As much as I hate to say it, McGuire makes our strongest 11, even Martinez is a liability as he showed yesterday.
Our defence is really poor and so slow. Plus, I don’t see our attackers all hitting 15 goals each, that’s wishful thinking.

I don't see our attackers getting 15 each either. If Sesko, Cunha, Bruno, Rashford, Mbeumo and Amad get 60/65 between them in the league, that would be OK.
Then, you're hoping for 20 or so from the rest.
We are ahead of that target after 2 games.
Typically, you need between 75/85 goals to win the league; a few times it's been 90-plus.
Mind you, we need to stop letting them in at the other end, to take the pressure off needing to score 3 to win a game.

Stop them going in, would be a great start, because it's just not possible to score 2-3-4 or even 5 to win a game every game, and we look terrible at the back.
Hope Lammens don't spend the season picking the ball out of the net.
Saying that, Onana is doing really well, picking the ball out of the net.
