Rafa and Shaw are both suspect defensively. A back three of Evans, Jones and Smalling are our best three at the back.
Did you watch the game this morning? All three defenders playing were s**t. Sunderland looked like scoring every time they went forward.
Blackett the better of them all and he is a kid.
I'm not saying those three are going to win us a title but they're the best we've got. They've probably never played in a back three so it'll take some times. A back three of Rojo. Rafa and Shaw would concede 10 goals a game, they're all attacking full backs.
So any sane person here still fooled by Young's pre season and Fletcher being a good player?
Hopefully we'll soon see

Could push for top 4.
But in the future I'd like us to add Strootman and another quality CM
Happy with Di Maria?
Agreed. I thought we only needed 1 more CB for this season. We are going to switch to 433 anyway + not being in Europe means we'd be able to manage with those mentionedI think our defensive issues would be managed a lot easier in a back four, Rafael and Shaw are quality young full backs and Evans is severely underrated by many I feel, between Jones, Smalling, Rojo and Blackett we have enough depth to partner him for the season.
Now keep it rolling, still need a couple more signings if we're going to make CLDi Maria will really give the club a morale boost. Rooney will love he is joining.
