What a week. We beat Chelsea 2-0, won against Anderlecht after playing 120 mins and then going away to Burnley and winning comfortably 2-0. 2 premier leagues 0 on target against us.
The one thing which surprised me the most is how Mourinho has managed Fellaini something which moyes and lvg failed to do. Mourinho has a real dilemma on Thursday who to play up front but the way Rashford played against Anderlecht and Chelsea he deserves to play up front.
Here's my lineup for thursday
.........................................DDG.................................
.............Bailly..........Blind..............Darmian.........
Valencia.........Carrick.........Herrera..........Shaw
.................................Pogba...................
.................Rashford.............Martial/Micky..............
Bring on Martial, rooney and fellaini/pogba if we are losing or need fresh legs.

LvG got more out of Fellaini than Moyes and Mourinho

Got to play to our strengths and City's weakness.
City are hopeless at the back so we have to exploit it as much as we can. But at same time they keep the ball for fun so we need to be compact in midfield and be able to play it around.
I fancy us to get something I really do. Rashford, Miki, Lingard, Martial....whoever is picked has pace and will give them all sorts of bother.
Aguero is in red hot form though so that worries me. Hopefully Silva wont be back. He's magic for them and they look worse without "merlin".

Rashford gave Cities defence a torrid time last season, he has to start for me.

this writer has Robb syndrome. To be honest I am amazed how few injuries we have had this season.

We basically had our main back 4 injured for a lot of the season in both seasons under LVG. That cost us in december 2015.
