They don't strike me as possession-retaining players. They're more likely to create more opportunities but also lose possession more than safer players eg Allen, thus weakening your defence
Yeah. I mean Jones, Toure, Lambert, Sakho, Can, Allen, Ibe
We at least had Januzaj and Kagawa
This is arguably their strongest XI bar Moreno, Can and possibly Sakho as well. Having the likes of Lucas and Johnson on the bench won't make much difference. For all the talk about United's poor squad, when everybody is fit I don't think there is much difference between United and Liverpool. If Woody actually pulls his finger out and signs us a couple of players, we'll be comfortably ahead.
None of Liverpool, Arsenal and United have been particularly convincing this weekend, the difference is that the first two have been able to grind out the win without playing well. They have a winning mentality at home, we don't anymore. The quicker that gets fixed the better.
