I agree James could have been useful in Rangnicks system and I was against selling him, but I think Lingard and Elanga can perform similar roles.

Winners: Sancho, Vdb, Fred and Lingard Losers: Martial and Pogba

----------Ronaldo Cavani------- Fernandes --------------Sancho --------------Fred Vdb------------- Shaw Maguire Varane Awb -----------------Ddg----------------- Rashford and Greenwood will generally be the first subs to be brought on but will also get a lot of starts on account of Cavani not...

Looks like it could be Blanc as interim. I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to that. Priority should be to secure CL football. Poch, Hag or Rangnick as the long term appointment. Need to clear out some players and bring in: RB: Trippier or Aarons CDM/DLP: Rice, Bissouma, Palhinha or Neves All...

Longer term the following players will probably leave (for varying reasons): Jones, Dalot, Matic, Pogba, Pereira, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Cavani. No less than 9 players. Then the following could be the squad - with two players for each position: LF: Rashford, Elanga CF: Ronaldo, Greenwood RF...

Ole is a very good underdog and counterattacking manager - where it’s all gone wrong for him this season is the attempt at transitioning the team towards a more possession-based style of play. In fairness the signing of Ronaldo, as good as he has been, has probably also caused an imbalance in...

Ole is likely to get the sack sooner or later now, I think. It’s becoming unsustainable with the amount of fans online calling for it. I would have liked to see him bring in a CDM/DLP and back-up RB in order to finish the rebuild, but he chose to keep the likes of Martial instead. Also, his...

Yeah it's a strange one, that. Cheers.

My team selection for the next run of games. Obvisously, this is assuming no injuries. So if a player is injured, just replace him with the next one in the pecking or rotation order. Liverpool Ronaldo Rashford Fernandes Pogba Fred Mctominay Shaw Maguire Lindelof Awb Ddg ...... Tottenham...

Great game. A classic. As long as Ole keeps the team in the CL and stays within touching distance of top four in the Prem his job should be safe until January (at least). Then he should try to sell off a few players in order to raise money for a CDM/DLP and back-up RB. Even if he can’t get...

Based on the performances so far this season and how the midfield is struggling to control games, I would switch to a 4312 formation and pick the following eleven right now: (Rashford or Greenwood) (Cavani or Ronaldo) Fernandes Pogba Matic Vdb Shaw Maguire Varane Awb Ddg This team has...

Just pick this team, seriously: (Rashford or Greenwood) (Cavani or Ronaldo) Fernandes Pogba Matic Vdb Shaw Maguire Varane Awb Ddg This team has everything: defensive stability, midfield solidity, creativity, passing and movement, pace and goal threat. Four forwards rotating with each other...

Great game in the end! My team selection for Everton: Cavani Fernandes _________ Pogba Matic Vdb Telles Varane Lindelof Awb Ddg Fernandes obviously a false 9 here. The blank spot is for either Greenwood or Sancho. Normally Greenwood is better suited for this RF positon in the 433, while...

Vdb deserves to get more starts, as does Cavani: (Ronaldo or Rashford) (Cavani or Greenwood) Fernandes (Pogba or Mctominay) Vdb (Fred or Matic) Shaw Maguire Varane Awb Ddg

The team improved instantly when Cavani was brought on. A lot more bite and fighting spirit up front. He HAS to start every CL game and IMO Vdb should be given a run as well: Ronaldo Cavani Fernandes (Pogba or Mctominay) Vdb (Fred or Matic) Shaw Maguire Varane Awb Ddg Subs: Rashford Greenwood...
