The more I look at our season. The amount of games we have been in control and chances created the more I think we need to get Lukaku in.
Someone who pulls the defenders around, bullies them a bit.
This would help by getting him goals and also by freeing space for pogba/ miki/ Herera to slot in.
I think he should be our priority attacking option.

Any other forward player that can actually finish Brad. We have been extremely wasteful this season.

Need a winger to pull the defenders wide!

Or overlapping full backs. I know people will say it was only Sunderland but with Shaw playing at left back in that game we created chances from the left hand side for what seems like the first time this season.

Our problem is that opposition full backs tend to tuck in against us. This limits space in the middle and creates a very crowded penalty area.

This happens because we lack width and penetration out wide. This should come from either full backs or wingers, we lack quality in both positions.

Personally with Martial and Rashford on the books I wouldn't mind if we didn't sign a striker this summer even if Zlatan leaves, as long as we add width.

Yes, Ibra is slow up front. By God he's put them away. We can't just rely on him alone, luck alone won't help.

Who would u want Shappy?

I'd want two attacking full backs a centre back and a holding midfielder.

Maybe Nelson Semedo, Benjamin Mendy, Michael Keane and Eric Dier.

A couple of British lads who know what it takes to play in the EPL also with players like Young, Smalling, Jones, Carrick and Rooney who could leave this summer a couple more British lads would be good. Mendy and Semedo look like two of the best full backs in Europe at the moment.

I'd agree with full backs providing width rather than playing with wingers. I'm still hoping Shaw comes good. Think if we sign a CDM and a solid CB to partner Bailey it would give the full backs more confidence to attack. Personally I'd like Semedo, Tah (as Gimenez and varane are unlikely), Fabinho and Griezmann. 442 diamond with Fab at base Pogs left, Herrera right, miki at point and griezmann just behind martial or rashford. Don't know if Griezmann is possible and Tah isn't as experienced as I'd like. Van Dijk might be an option but Southampton players seem to not play as well in other teams systems.

Maybe we are playing the formation and tactics Jose wants us to play?

14 Apr 2017 19:26:15
Maybe just get all the mids into shooting practice as they're the ones who haven't contributed on the scoring front.

14 Apr 2017 20:31:55
I agree on the full backs front, If Shaw can sort attitude and fitness then he may well provide the width we need. I like Martial and Rashford and certainly would have them more involved going forward. my issue is that I think Mourinho will look towards his favoured 4231 next year which i think needs a more mobile but physical presence up front.

{Ed004's Note - I agree on the fullbacks as well. I think Shaw is fully capable of providing the outlet from one side but unfortunately would anyone be confident going in relying fully on Shaw again next season? So I think a left back will come in and Mendy would be ideal (Tierney as an alternative). Valencia has had a great season but needs cover and someone good offensively as competition - my choice being Semedo. Lastly, I would keep Smalling but would offload Jones so hopefully we see a centre back come in and I'd love to see a Varane, Laporte, Manolas etc but no idea who we will target at centre back.

In midfield I would continue to play Mkhitarian centrally, Pogba is a cert every game to play so hopefully a defensive midfielder will be signed and I don't think we can look past Fabinho. Ideally Carrick, Herrera and Perriera providing cover. Now the wide players would mainly be Martial + a new signing (ideally Griezmann) with Mata and lingard covering but they wouldn't be tasked to hug the touch lines and would play inside more often and interchange. Basically the role Griezmann plays at Atheltico and a role that hopefully would suit Martial

Now up top I think a rb, cb, lb, cdm and an attacker will cost a huge amount so think Ibrahimovic will stay as we can't afford to replace him this summer but hopefully Rashford plays a lot more games up top and Griezmann + Martial could cover as well. Ideally if Ibra goes we some how would finance a deal for a striker not sure how without spending obscene amounts. A lot of players will leave this summer. Most likely Darmian, Jones, Blind, Young, Rooney, Januzaj and possibly Felllaini}

I think a lot depends on Zlatan but another CF is a priority.

We will need to move on one or more CBs but again an area we can upgrade on.

DCM is a must.

LB or RB could happen and agree with the suggestions. Kieran Trippier would be good too.

And perhaps a traditional winger.

Keane or Gimenez for CB, Bakayokonor Carvalho for CDM, CF - Lewandoski, Greizmann, Mbappe, Mertens Winger.
