In games we're expected to win "comfortably", 4-2-3-1 with Mata in between Mkhitaryan & Martial, behind Ibra.

If we persist (which we should) with the 3 man midfield Herrera, Pogba and Carrick then there won't be room for Mata there either.

The 3 man midfield is only really needed in big games or tough away games, imo. Yeah, I know they're all big games now, but I mean against the big teams.

We won't persist with a 3 we have played a mixture of both throughout the season and certain games. Mata will still be key player for us.

As good as Mata is, it's proving again that under a Mourinho system the side looks more balanced with Mkhitaryan. As Zlatan doesn't exactly have pace you kind of need it either side of him. With Mkhitaryan and Martial you get that.

Not the end for Mata but more a realisation that it may not go swimmingly for him from here on out if Mkhitaryan is fit. Right now as he isn't I imagine Mata is our only other option so he will get back in for a few games.

You pretty much paraphrased Gary Neville

Huge weekend for us gained points on Spurs, City, Pool. Only 6 off 4th and 7 off 3rd.....

Unless you plan on making up a massive 10 goal swing in two games, it's effectively still three games out of fourth given the goal difference/ goals scored.

But a good weekend it's true nonetheless.

There's not much difference in them booing or me or you saying "sit the f**k down Fellaini" on our computer screens.....

How you figure? There's a WORLD of difference. (Unless you'd loudly shout that the game in his direction.).

He's not reading these here boards. (Or it would be one **** of a shock if he is.).

He is, however, having his confidence shot to **** before he's even come on hearing his own 'fans' (term used VERY loosely) on his back. How they expect him or anyone to have a decent game when they're nervous to what they're going to receive is beyond me.

Whatever anyones feelings on Fellaini, that's completely counter productive and pure wool behaviour.

Funny how that happens with a 19 year old inexperienced kid still developing and finding his way huh?

People in general have no patience for anything these days. A kid has success early, it just sadly now intensifies the ridiculous pressure on them.
 
Yeah, your goal difference is absolutely shocking.Not sure if I have ever seen a big club have +3 goal difference half into the season. You're +10 goals behind all of the top 5 clubs.

Oh I have patience. And know he will be class for us. But even in a bad patch you could do basics like passing to team mates and tracking your man.

Bastards! Not that it will doubtless concern anyone here but that would be a brilliant trip.

As every English club has got. (Not sure on Tottenham.).

We have a close relationship with St. Etienne who just love L'pool. That'll go down well haha. Don't know much about how strong or not they are but it'll be a tough away leg. Best atmosphere in France and it's not even close.

Spurs have Genk. Been to StEttienne before great atmosphere! And travel ain't somewhere crazy which is a bonus.
 
We should comfortably beat them, mid-table in ligue 1 and to my mind no stand out players either. Pogba will meet Pogba though as his brother plays for them. Also I believe they play some kind of 3 at the back formation which will be interesting.
