LVG tried him there and we were awful. His only use is moving us further up the field by sticking DDG's long kicks. He hasn't got the movement or composure to play up front
I am not saying he should be the long-term solution there. I am saying that he is a better target-player than Lukaku is as of now. Even if Lukaku is fit, which he does not seem to be.
It is perfectly fair to assume that we will go long tomorrow from the back to bypass Citys press, and putting Sanchez up front will negate that tactic.
As well would putting Rashford or Martial up front. They are not target-players either.
From seeing how Mourinho has approached teams like City and Liverpool before, my guess is that he will go with a big man up front with a Martial or Sanchez playing off him. It would also mean having both Matic and Pogba protecting the back-four instead of just Matic.
Not saying that I like the idea of us playing Fella up front as a permanent solution at all, but if we will approach the game tomorrow as we have historically I would put Fella up front first name on the team sheet.
But maybe Mourinho will try to play football against City tomorrow, which would probably be disastrous but exciting at the same time. Then it will be Sanchez up front and a similar setup as the last couple of games.
