    It's not just one game. And I think the individual has a massive impact on the sum of our parts. Fellaini wrecks the balance of that midfield and effects the others.

    Can't argue with the first part. What's so poor is that we can't string more than 2 passes together.

    He does, yes. We should, IMHO, be playing a 3 man midfield with him not in it.

    I can't work out why he's not playing your strongest team?

    WTF is he doing? Odd behaviour tbh.

    I'd be happy to try a 4-3-3 although I've always preferred that 2nd striker or number 10. But tbh maybe strengthening Pogba's role is far more important.

    Schweinsteiger and/or Carrick really must be considered in any new formation.

    Leicester aren't anything special this season tbh.

    Any team with pace will ruin them. The gaps they leave are astonishing. They'll beat slow teams, but lose against ANY fast team.

    Not sure what category Utd fall into though!!

    4 4 2 then, **** it.

    Pogba and Herrera at CM, Zlatan and Rashford as striker's, Martial and Mkhitaryan out wide.

    Abject. No different to last season. The obsession with playing Rooney regardless of form or position is ****ing the whole system and why Fellaini continues to represent United is a mystery. That's now 3 managers who have considered him a must start. Bizarre.

    The big problem here is that Mourinho is really bad when he has his back against the wall. We have no idea how that would work out if this slide continues. That is now three games on a bounce.

    That would be a very decent side.

    Like Stan pointed out Utd managers have an obsession to always play Fellaini and Rooney - bizarre.

    It would be a great formation.

    We'd need an actual right back at right back but it would work.

    Some players don't get a game.

    So what?
