Lindelof's weaknesses are Smalling's strengths and vice versa.

........................

Lindelof's weakness has led to two goals being scored against us this season already.

I can't remember Smallings's weakness leading to opposition goals.

Well, Smalling's weaknesses are playing the ball on the deck, and technique when the ball is around his feet which leads to missed interceptions and tackles.

That weakness has caught him out occasionally.

We still should have kept him and taken the offer Everton made for Rojo, derisory or not.

and we'll take Pogba off your hands whilst we're at it.. mind you, he'd have to take a huuuuggggeee pay cut

.................

If it wasn't for the fact that he is our only creative spark there would be plenty of volunteers to drive him across the Pennines.

weird one is Pogba.. you can see he has class - no doubt, from an outside point of view I just don't get why he isn't performing???

At the moment he isn't performing because, for some inexplicable reason, our manger is trying to turn him into a deep laying play maker.

He needs to be played further up the pitch where he can do damage to the opposition, not keep assisting them.

If we are potentially after Mandzukic as a short term option then we may as well just get Zlatan back.

Nah. Not the same.

Just play mctominay and Fred behind Pogba

.............

No.

Play Mc T behind Fred and Pogba.

No. Zlatan is 38 and hasn't played competitive football for two years.

From what I understand Mandzukic still hasvery good fitness stats and still covers loads of ground.

We tend to play him in a position where is lack of a tactical brain and effort are easily exposed..he’s certaibly no kroos or Modric and can’t run a game. He needs to play further forward where his best attributes/ are effective.
