I think he meant all three in the line up, we haven't seen that yet and I will love to see that, that might just be our best midfield option, I believe it is sef

you have matic doing the defensive work, Herrera also assisting him with that while attacking, one thing I love about Herrera is his versatility, then Pogba getting all the space he wants

a midfield of Herrera magic and pogba would limit the offensive numbers on d pitch which is what has keep the goals coming.

if u watched our match against Madrid, we used the three of them.

not really, Herrera played a defensive role last season that we have forgotten he is an attacking player

the only problem is mkhitaryan will have to move out wide, Mata will be the one to drop to the bench

you didn't expect us to dominate the Madrid midfield, did you? I say we try it out against the likes of crystal palace first

so pogba will play 10 and mkhi moved to right?

well, a trial is d only way to know if it can actually be productive.

that's what Jose will play against opponents dat r offensively strong just like Madrid. but honestly it won't work against smaller teams who feels to prioritize defending

I strongly believe a Time will come when Herrera would be an integral part of the first XI.

I'm ain't convinced with performances of Mkhitaryan as a No. 10, hence I'm also hoping for a Combo of Pogba, Matic and Herrera.

But I'll prefer Herrera plays 10 instead of Pogba. He also gets good Eyes for decisive Passes.

Pogba is far better than Herrera as a 10. Herrera can't give you Pogba's goals and his passing range is limited. Having said that our best 10s are Mikki and Mata.
Only way Herrera gets a regular starting shirt is if JM goes for 4-3-3 with Herrera at RCM and Pogba at LCM, Matic at the base and nobody plays 10.

Meaning Mhiki will play the right wing among the front three.

The bold Part seems the right Formation. I believe that will definitely bring out their respective Best.

Agreed.
But with the euphoria of Friday's good win I think anything other than a win will be a disappointment to the largely unreasonable fan base of the Eagles.
You need to hear call in radio stations. All the fans are talking about how far we can go in Russia.
So it will be hard to digest a draw given that expectations are sky high at the moment.

For me I'm not carried away. The eagles are still deficient in a number of areas: goalkeeping, both full backs and probably the wings though it doesn't look like we go that route anymore (I.e wing play). The Cameroon side is piss poor and how they won the CAN is beyond me. But the eagles are a in a lot better shape than they've been in recent memory, the only surprise is how easy it's been thus far against sides that are ranked higher than we are.

I'm pretty sure Algeria makes Zambia drop points too. Zambia has a shocking record in North Africa but the Algerians have been mediocre too.

Either way we need to gets draw in Cameroon and beat Zambia here to be sure of qualification. The rest of the group appears to be cancelling each other out thus far.

mhiki best position is just behind the striker. Man Utd is not using him properly. Put miki behind lukaku and watch him score 50goals a Season.
Matic or herrara need to ride d bench.

Once we win Zambia next month at uyo, we have qualified regardless of any result others get even if we lose tomorrow. If we draw tomorrow , we just need to take points off Zambia to qualify. If Zambia wins all their matches from now, they will have 13points, but if we draw Cameroon and they win Algeria, they will be at 7 points, the super eagles will be at 10points. When they come over to uyo next month, we just need a point to qualify, as we will be at 11 while they will be at 8. Head to head rule will knock them out courtesy of our 2-1 away in Zambia.

Lol bro you've already planned out the scenario.
I don't see Zambia getting a win in Algeria though.
It's very difficult to see that happening as bad as Algeria has been lately.
I just hope we don't lose tomorrow(or is it Tuesday?) because that could throw the group wide open.

Plus I read somewhere that key members are a card away from suspension. If that is true then we need to be a bit worried given what happened vs South Africa.

I think Eagles should aim for a Win in Yaounde. 3 Points in Yaounde and we are guaranteed a Ticket to Russia.

Against top quality opponents if JM wants to use the 4-3-3 then the only space available for Mikki is the RW where he won't be at his absolute best but can still give a decent performance. He is at his best as a 10 but there will be times when we will use formations that do not include a no 10 role.

You are correct
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by pharod(m): 5:57pm On Sep 03, 2017
I think JM should give Lindelof a chance against lesser oppositions in the EPL. The guy's been solid for Sweden so far. He doesn't make too much tackles but he is very intelligent on the ball.
Against teams that we might not need to do too much defending, Lindelof should be given game time.

Thanks for the timely info on Lindelof...... is he an Upgrade on Smalling and Rojo based on what you've seen so far?!

Smalling, definitely... A fit and firing Rojo? Am not so sure because I like Rojo because of his hard tackling nature. But he is definitely too good for the bench.

Good point. He might need bedding in with those lesser teams before stepping up to the bigger games. He definitely looks like he has good potential. Although I'm currently very happy with Jones and Bailly partnership. We all know it's only a matter of time before Jones picks up an injury.
