Im looking at it from a positive, no martial, a 40% Rashford, no Herrera, matic, Mata, or lingard and we still pick up points against a good team

PSG will smash us now.

With this change in tactics it’s obvious to all we need to bring in players that can play in this style for next season.

Outside he starting 11 we lack anyone with the pace and stamina to play the way Ole wants to play.

Pep and Klopp both had these issues themselves in various areas of the pitch when they took over.

We're never gonna win the CL, now's a good a time as any to give the likes of mctomminay and perreira (spelling) some CL game time in a big game

Not trying to be negative, just pointing out that Ole is still working with a side hamstrung by players who cannot play in his system.

If we can replace 4 or 5 of the fringe players I think we could have a great season next time round.

It will be an ugly to watch strictly defensive game

I don’t want to go out, but with the current injury’s it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to have less games.

Given the choice I’d rather go through though, ha!

Yes it will, and we won’t get many opportunities, hence why we are as good as out.

Does it matter though?

We know why we fell off a cliff in the second half and that can be fixed in the summer.

When the draw was under under Jose we all knew the outcome before a ball was kicked.

We don't lack squad depth... we lack players to play in this system

We were outclassed second half, not fell off a cliff.psg turned the heat up, neutralised pogba and could have had more.

No shame, they are a very good side.

CL is not our priority this season

Get off at an early stage 'this week' and conserve energy for the league (Priority1) then FA cup

If top 4 is secured - Next year we will focus on the CL

thought we were in big trouble with the injuries in the first half but gotta say McT and Pereira were quite excellent in Midfield as was the defence, especially Luke Shaw and Smalling and Linderlof looking a good partnership with Ole at the wheel. Dealt with most of what little the Dippers offered in the final third.

Was concerned about letting Rashy continue playing injured. Hope it hasn't made his issue worse. We are going to need him over the next few games with all the injuries. Lukaku showed us again how we need something much better as an option up front.

This is as good a time as any to try put our youngsters. We need pace for this formation to work, and if Sanchez is not providing it, why not try out Chong or Gomes or anyone to be honest. There is no need for loyalty to these players now. They must know they are not cutting it.

Sanchez could still come good... he just looks void of any confidence... wasn't too long ago people were saying the same about pogba

I'm more concerned for this coming wednesday playing away against Palace

With our injuries mounting plus they are in great form - beaten LCFC 4-1 yesterday

Same thing, isn’t it? Your squad depth is determined by the strength of your squad relative to the number of players who can play your preferred system with marginal impact on the quality of performance.

We could have 6 Xavi’s on the bench, but if we played like Stoke under Pulis we’d have no depth.

Sanchez is a busted flush. His legs are gone.

The pace is not coming back and this formation lives on pace.
