As I said in the ratings thread - poor decision to start Kane and to play so narrow - Kane is exactly the kind of slow, unskillful forward that Dawson thrives against, and by playing so narrow with such little pace we gave him the chance to put in all these last ditch blocks and tackles in a crowded area like he's good at. After years of watching him get put on his **** by fast dribblers like Aguero or Torres, we should have tried to play deeper with pace on the counter, getting Lamela and Lennon running at him.
Once we made the tactical switch in the second half, we started to create a lot of chances today. I feel the football we're playing is much better than it was last season, we just need more composure in front of goal to start making these wins much more comfortable.
If Chadli had scored that sitter against Saudi Sportswashing Machine to make it 2-0 we'd be in the top 4 now. Christ, if we'd won any of the games against Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Stoke or West Brom at home, we'd be in the top 4 now. Fine margins....

Let me elaborate. He didn't execute everything perfectly. But he was bright, inventive, he and Eriksen speeded up our football at a crucial point in the game. We played some of our quickest football in that period and those two were key to it. I'd like to see a 4-3-3 with Eriksen, Mason and a DM.
The full backs are everything to Pochs formation. It will be so different when a Walker returns or we get Yedlin.

It is clearer from the other angle.
Mason's right leg is off the floor so it is OK when it gets hit; his left leg is planted so when Livermore catches his left ankle it rolls over painfully.
Agree. Bruce is neglecting the yellows his team should have got but worse he is advocating discretion for head in faces and sly kicks to the back of the knees.
Stop whinging and teach your players to be disciplined rather than petulant. They obviously felt they could intimidate this ref.
Next week no doubt he will be asking for less discretion and more consistency.

"Ramirez didn't even try and kick the right player anyway — he thought he was kicking Dembele but it turned out it was only Vertonghen, who had nothing to do with it, so it shouldn't even count as a red card. These referees should know the rules. It was never like this at Old Trafford."
Disagree.
One Holding mid who knows what he is doing is enough.
Mason or actually Dembele who is better defensively, Mason was poor first half and his positional play was too close to the centre.
Then allow Eriksen to play free role, With Kane and Ade/Soldado up front, Lennon on right, did you see him turn on the after burners to rob the Hull player after running a across the pitch, and I like Ringo's idea of using Davies as LB and Rose as LM, better than the posy, ineffective drag artist Lamela, Chadli though deserves a go there for his efforts this season.

LOL, I thought that as well, but he comes down on the back of Livermore's lower leg after the challenge and it's that impact he reacts to, I think.

I was thinking that towards the end of the game. I noticed that Eriksen had dropped deeper when Mason picked up the knock but could not go off.

If only we could play 10 men every week

couldnt care if we play 10 men, 11 men or 2 men.. a wins a win.
strange some of the things said on here. why say this and not just say.. if only we could win every week?
Chiriches didn't do too badly but he does have the habit of trying to beat a man and getting into trouble.
Another option, instead of dropping him to third team winger, is to use Lennon as RB.
He has the intelligence and physical attributes to play this demanding role to Poch's specification.
He can defend, no one is going to run him. He takes the simple option and as he used to go around the outside superbly for Harry and Jol, the role would create the possibility for him to do this again.
Also note when Davies and Dier tried to do this today they didn't have the inclination or athleticism to bust a gut getting back. I suspect Lennon would try to get goalside, at least until he is knackered.
