Brutalin reality there's not much difference between that and a 433 with Martial left and Sanchez right, but with freedom to come inside like they currently do.
What a strange statement. Thats like saying Slimani is going to challenge Kane as the best striker in the league.
Everyone who has been played on the right has been poor. Mata has been the best of a bad bunch, hence he’s played there on a regular basis. When lingard was on the right he was shocking, so we accommodated him in the middle. Play Mata in the middle and he’s in a different league to what Lingard can offer.
Yeah, might as well play in League 1 because that's his level right now. We'd get completely raped defensively every 5th minute when Pogba attacks and Mata fecks up his trademarked backpasses.
Mata's backwards and sideways passing from the middle
Believe me Mata is by far and away a better number than Lingard, it’s not even debatable.
Rashford isn't getting games at present and that's before Sanchez has even arrived. IMO he's far too good a player to not be included in the starting line-up. So does that mean he moves further down the pecking order? Lukaku is looking less and less like a striker the more games he plays. He seems to have lost his instinct to go for goal. Jose has said he has had to take too much responsibility being our lone striker. Maybe a rest would do him good and Rashford could fill the striker role for a period. Competition should get the best out of players and Lukaku needs to get back to the level he was at Everton because he's no where near that at present.
Was it Huddersfield where we tried that, with them scoring after he lost the ball in the middle?
Are you talking about Rashford? He has been shit and deservedly doesnt have a place even close to the starting Lineup. Looks like he has stop bothering and gone too greedy from most of his plays. I would rather play sanchez/Martial uptop than Rashford cause of his finishing.
Absolutely agree, on paper one of the best (if not the best) starting XI's we have had since 09 - especially with the addition of Bailly who is obviously injured.
Do you have no interest in getting the best out of Sanchez? There is no way to solve the right wing problem without compromising someone’s game, we simply don’t have a natural right sided attacker. So why hamper Alexis over others?
Not really. When he was any good at United as a number 10. Not in a one-off game, but actually during say a month?
Actually our interchanging is not a problem, you look at Mata, the guy always finds himself in the middle or even on the left side.
Hamper him?! The best player in our team is constantly having to play water carrier in midfield, passing the ball to a clueless attack. Having Pogba playing in a 3 with more freedom is the key to everything we do in the near future imo. So we have a front 3 to pick. What's your solution? Lukaku is going to play, and he's going to play centrally. So what's better? Sanchez left and Mata/Lingard(?!) right? Or Martial left and Sanchez right?
