    I hate to be the prophet of doom but this all means we probably won't!

    Way too often we fail to capitalise when others slip up. This has got loss or draw written all over it. Hopefully I've reverse jinxed it.

    I get the feeling Rooney will be back at CF with Martial in the bench. That's the easy option, allowing both Herrera and Mata to stay in the side. If he does boldly go with Martial at CF then my personal preference would be Depay, Rooney and Herrera as three behind him and two CM's; Schweinsteiger with Carrick or Schneiderlin.

    Blind to left back, Rojo centre half I reckon.

    Too true, last season we had at least 5 chances to make ground on those above us and blew every one.

    Pretty much the front line I am hoping for. Has a bit of everything in it.

    I think we did close the gap to 8 points at one stage before we met Chelsea and had a chance to close it further and get into the race but we lost <laugh>

    Definite loss at saints.

    Whenever we get a mid table team with pressure to win, we've never done it.

    We are without 4 of the back 5 who made us so hard to beat last season,our nnew signings haven't bedded in yet, & some northern outfit bought our most dependable holding midfielder. It'll be a miracle if we beat you lot today, but on the subject of miracles, I'm with Erroll Brown.

    Would rather have Herrera instead of Mata, he just hasn't got going yet this year.

    That's a 33% win rate should be up at least 45-50% for a club challenging for the title..

    Memphis certainly likes a flick doesn't he.

    Did it a lot with PSV but in this league it won't come off quite as often and might leave us exposed to the counter

    Great save initially though.

    sooner or later we gonna get caught playing Blind as CB.. we needed a CB .. and we didn't bring one
    our both fullbacks are horrible letting those wingers cross like that easily \
    our game is pass pass pass .. like Arsenal ... we become clueless .. more penetration is needed
    but overall the team is not perfect and we already set ourselves for fighting for 4th place
