A good win mostly because I think everyone out there is expecting us to take a nose dive soon. The downside, even though we won, was the now routine questions over squad depth and the performance of certain players. Lukaku has become virtually irrelevant, he was conspicuous because everyone charged past him. He looks utterly lost. Sanchez tried again but to come up short as a sub against Fulham further highlights his decline. The interplay between Pogba and Mata up front more than made up for Lukaku’s lack of guile. Martial and Pogba were outstanding and I think Pogba was MoTM. Jonah played like a man with a new contract and might have scored with a long range shot. Smalling settled in well and played a quiet but effienct game. But, Fulham disappeared after their first chances and in the end it was probably one of our easiest victories.
