I'm loving the story that the team had a bust up at half of time on Sunday after their dire first half performance.
I don't buy that only DDG is class and that the whole squad needs a complete overhaul. I will keep repeating that whilst we need strengthening we still have the bones of a very good team who can play much better and deliver much more than we are seeing. No know we have had injuries but I'd like to see a settled side given a run and allowed to express the, selves. Right now I'd play CBJ at LB to, allow Darmian to stay at RB and I'd start Depay at the expense of Lingard. 1 holdong midfielder and 2 box to box players (Hererra being one) .
I'm not saying we can challenge for the League but top 4 should not be this much of a challenge, we are making very hard work of it. I really don't know if it is the philosophy, the Managers style, or some other reason but this team is way better than what we are seeing.

I agree. We have a collection of some very good players but the style of play is stiffing a lot of talent and square pegs are being put in round holes too often.

I agree with everything you have just said AJH. I think we need to start playing a more consistent first 11. I understand Memphis, Darmian and Herrera can be inconsistent at times, but these kind of players can do very well for us if given time and support. I also agree about CBJ, he has really impressed me and I'd love to see him compete with Shaw for that LB spot.

Martial for me is going to be a world class player. The guy is fantastic.
