    I like that team very much - chuffed that Smalling is in for Blind.
     
    Smalling needs game time and although Blind had played pretty well there not a CB by trade for me so see the logic in that. Good to see rashford in but would have dropped Martial for Lingard.
     
    Perfect match for Tony M to start actually playing football and stop this weird imitation of a footballer he's had going on.

    We're a really annoying team in that it feels like we only ever excel in one position at a time, over a short period. The only exception to this rule being De Gea, obviously.

    Watford usually cause us trouble so I'm wary of hoping for a thrashing, though we're long overdue. 2-0 seems fair?
     
    Happy to see Rashford in the line-up.

    But that bench does not look great if we need to chase a goal. Young and Depay to make an impact? I doubt it.
     
    Happy with the team. The pace in the wide areas with Shaw, Valencia, Martial and Rashford is frigthening.

    I'm hoping Martial and Rashford keep the width, though, and stretch Watford, who will be playing with wing backs.
     
    I am not a fan of Fellaini and I still have hope that Schneiderlin will play a major role one day in our squad... but judging the performances so far, it's fair to start with Fellaini again (as long as Schweinsteiger is not available ;)
     
    Martial and Rashford with zlatan up top against a leaky defence, we have to be on the ball from minute one. Early goal is crucial.

    Sigh no hererra.
     
    We're missing a metronome. I'll be surprised if we are able to take advantage of that pace. Pogba and Fellaini will be playing too high and we're neither going to have the space to exploit nor the player to find them quick enough.
     
    Now he's beginning to figure things out. Martial and Rashford providing pace in attack. Smalling and Bailly at the back. It's about time!
     
    I don't like the Fellaini, Pogba and Rooney midfield. I fear we will leave Fellaini exposed - yet again
     
    Pace...
    What does Herrera have to do to get some game time? Schneiderlin should be on the bench at least.

    Fellaini will play deep. But yes I wouldn't mind having Carrick in there and Pogba playing where Rooney is

    This is what we have been lacking this season, the centre of the pitch has been way to crowded with very little space for Zlatan, Rooney and Pogba to work in. If Rashford and Martial keep their width I expect great things from Pogba and Zlatan today.
     
    Vital we try the two of them wide with Ibra up top.

    Pace is crucial so pleased to see it.

    If playing like this, I'd like to have seen Carrick in midfield, but this is still worth trying, though bit concerned we'll be too open in midfield.
     
    I see goals
    Here there an everywhere
    Short range long range
    Love it when we score yea
