  1. He was never the same again after that challenge if memory serves.
  2. Uproar in the media or in the stands? Once upon a time, he was prepared to take tough decisions.
  3. He could do worse than play Schneiderlin and Herrera together with Pogba ahead of them. Up front Martial on the left, Mkhitaryan on the right and Rashford through the middle would at least give them some legs and movement.
  4. I was thinking more about when we had the ball actually. He slowed the tempo down and played it into areas where we didn't just invite more pressure.
  5. Thought he was a big reason behind how we steadied after conceding the goal.
  6. Early days but it looks like our summer transfers may have been quite astute. Matip, Wijnaldum and Mane looking promising. Just need to see the keeper now.
  7. Class act tonight - controlled the midfield for spells.
  8. Great tonight - so composed
  9. I still worry a little about Lovren's judgement/temperament although his form has improved beyond recognition. By contrast, Lucas has a very sensible head on his shoulders.
  10. Nah The good news is that we have at least 4 good options for the 3 in midfield. Grujic may become another good option. There is Milner too I guess.
  11. Reckon that's likely to be the team.
  12. Easy tiger. It's just a comparison to illustrate that he has contributed to our start to the season.
  13. Two assists which is two more than Pogba has.
  14. Reckon he will be a good addition. He has a languid style that reminds me a bit of Barnes in the Evans era. He plays the game at his own pace, shields the ball well and is economic with his touches.
  15. Lucas had a good game apart from one aberration. Wijnaldum reminds me of the mid 90's Barnes - plays the game at his own pace, shields the ball well and economic with his movement and passing.
  16. Can is out so Hendo takes his place.
  17. I like someone to lead the line. We don't need another body in midfield against Leicester.
  18. Assuming this game comes too early for Karius: Mignolet Clyne Matip Lovren Moreno Lallana Can Wijnaldum Mane Origi Coutinho
  19. Feel bad leaving out Henchoz who was a real favourite of mine. Riise gets in as he was part of the 2005-6 defence and for his longevity otherwise Aurelio would have got the nod.
  20. It's international week so time for a distraction. Reina Jones Carragher Hyypia Riise Gerrard Alonso Hamann McManaman Suarez Owen with apologies to Mascherano, Fowler and Torres amongst many others. LB is still the perennial problem position.....
  21. If Coutinho signs a new 5 year deal in the next few days then I suggest we all start brushing up on our Mandarin.
  22. They have clearly been working on a 433 formation in pre-season whereas we saw a lot of 4231 last season. I'm going to wait to see how it fares when Karius, Matip and Can are all in place.
  23. Indeed.
  24. Its not the same but its the correct approach. I don't remember us ever signing an already "world class player" even when we ruled English and European football.
  25. Thought Lallana did well too.
