Disagree on Pereira, he was completely anonymous and non existent as always, how he got 90 minutes again is madness. There was one pass in the second half where he tried a long switch un-opposed and it went out for a throw in, nowhere near anyone in red. the lad clearly tries but he is not good enough, it is time Ole did the decent thing and drops him, playing with 10 would not be any worse.
Chong did nothing apart from one shot off the post, for someone so highly rated am yet to see anything that suggests he is that good.
Lingard getting MOTM from BT Sport is madness, I know someone has to get it but he wasnt best player on pitch, much improved yes but thats it, the minimum you would expect from a Premier League team against a League 1 Side is to show more class. I thought the guy up front for Tranmere deserved MOTM, Ferrier, I know his team lost 6-0 but he put himself about. Giving it to Lingard just smacks of an agenda driven narrative from the Media as it just puts more focus on him, if he is to somehow turn it around then less focus /hype the better.

I'd be happy to keep Periera. He is a bog standard squad player but will improve slightly. He is only getting minutes because we haven't bought the players for those positions yet.
I agree with you on Chong and Lingard. This is my only concern with people moaning about us getting rid of players. The sooner Chong, Lingard and Jones are out our squad the better.
I think once those three are gone, and Pogba and De Gea for other reason we actually have a fairly decent foundation to add quality on without being bogged down by players on huge wages who dont have the quality or mentality.
Henderson for De Gea in the summer.
Pogba funds used to get 3 quality midfielders.
Chong and Lingard replaced with a genuine quality RW and back up striker.
