Young, Shaw, De Gea and Smalling have been the big standouts of this game, those 4 have been keeping Man Utd in this game. Without Smalling I think we'd be down 3 or 4 by now. De Gea has been very good, great distribution on that Shaw pass. Young has been great with his crosses, controlling, and supporting the defense. Shaw has great pace, really impressing me the last few games.
Rooney, Mata, and Herrera have been average, they've not been piss-poor but they haven't been great either. Rooney is feeding Young the ball because he's playing well, he just needs to pick out a better pass or shoot already. Herrera is doing the best he can but there's just not much there, he's the worse of these 3. Mata is coming back to the ball a lot, they've been trying but haven't been able to create much.
Evans, Fletcher and Jones have been the standout abysmal performers. We need a CM and an experienced CB.
Chica is invisible, and that's why he's not a standout abysmal performer but he's been very poor.
