Mata-Bruno combo

I remember Mata and DVB link up in one of the games and thought these two would be great against team set to play defensive football.
 
Do you think it could be Bruno on the left and Sancho as the 10? Then perhaps sign someone for the right. Although, ten Hag does like to play with two 8s, rather than a 10.

I think Ten Hag has mostly liked midfielders central, yeah. Seems like it would be VDB.
 
I’ve always thought we generally looked better as a team with Mata in it.

He should of had much more of a role here in midfield over the years. He was never a RW.
Fully agree. I can't understand at all why Mata hasn't been utilised this season especially. Yes people sneer that it's only against Brentford but how many times this season have we failed to break down lower half opposition?
Thanks Juan and best of luck wherever you may go.

Wolves away probably, and also Brighton away in the Cup - they played some lovely stuff.
