Herrera has to play surely.

I would rest Memphis for Young, as some have suggested, and try a new attacking setup which would mean Hernandez up front, Rooney as the second striker and Valencia as the right winger. Keep the same defensive core and with a front three that I have suggested, I think, that would be a team good enough to kill off any threat from Brugge.
Romero
Darmian Smalling Blind Shaw
Schneiderlin Schweinsteiger
Valencia Rooney Young
Hernandez
I know this will never happen but I would give it try and see how it would function.

You'd be mad to play Valencia as a full back in this game. Were we 4 up, ok, but we are only 2 up.
1-0Just fecking hammer them so I can forget about the garbage result against Newcastle.
no creativity or risks allowed.Periera and Herrera to play?

He'll offer us more in the attacking third? Are you mad? He'll pass inside, slightly backwards, every time he gets the ball.Valencia is pretty reliable really, they are not a huge threat and he will offer us more in the attacking third. Plus he needs minutes or will get too rusty.
Looks good to me. I guess Rooney has to play if he's ever going to regain his form, maybe we can kick start Chicha with a goal or two.I would rest Memphis for Young, as some have suggested, and try a new attacking setup which would mean Hernandez up front, Rooney as the second striker and Valencia as the right winger.

Darmian is much more of a threat going forward.
I noticed this. However, he made quite a lot of barnstorming runs from deep in pre-season. Do you think this is another aspect of LvG being a control freak and trampling all over any sign of creativity in the squad?Not so sure about that. Darmian has done well but he hasn't crossed much or that well yet.
No doubt Valencia has had a couple of fairly poor seasons but he can still be a threat and he needs minutes for the sake of the squad.
To be fair though, how can a man who claimed his team lacks creative players want to trample any sign of creativity?I noticed this.

He "says" a lot of things, some of them even make sense, but what he does, week in - week out, is another thing! Although I'm living in hope that it's laying the ground for that creativity to be re-introduced some time soon.To be fair though, how can a man who claimed his team lacks creative players want to trample any sign of creativity?
Our team has no one to cross. With the ball, Memphis, Young, Shaw, Darmian, Valencia are really bad at crossing.
Valencia doesn't even dare to cross.
And our third goal against Brugge was scored by tooth fairy.Our team has no one to cross. With the ball, Memphis, Young, Shaw, Darmian, Valencia are really bad at crossing.

Brugge and the PL teams are not in the same league.And our third goal against Brugge was scored by tooth fairy.
I am not saying we should become a thump the ball team. All I am saying is that crossing is an essential skill and we would need our players to be accurate with that, not hit it above everyone's heads 9 out of 10 times.Bring back Moyes!! 70 crosses per game (to noone in particular).
Yeah, literally.Brugge and the PL teams are not in the same league.
