Tough game today. If Shaw is missing I'd rather have Darmian or Blind at LB and bring Smalling in at CB than play Rojo, who is truley awful. People calling for Depay to start but for me hasn't done near enough in his sub appearances to demand a place in the first 11 in a big game like this. We have to be careful with the whole Carrick situation too. He was brilliant midweek, but at his age now often the game passes him by in the premier league. He isn't the long term answer and can't play every game, but used correctly and will do a job. If Miki is fit I'd give him a run of games at number 10, he is clearly the best in that position we have. Ander Hererra is the one player who for me deserves his place in the 11, he's done more than enough in his appearances to deserve the start. Going for score draw today.

Agree on all fronts there stand. I'm not convinced Jose will see it like that. He knows he has big decisions to make for the team going forward but i'm unsure as to if he will make said decisions today.
