Smalling is an excellent defender but not a very good footballer. Beast mode when in the centre but utter cack on the right. I'd be tempted to always use Valencia as the go-to guy when Rafael is injured.
 
Ill repeat.

-Rooney and Mata are pulling strings in the middle, not Fellaini
-Mata dribbles, passes, shoots better than Fellaini. Thats whybd prefer him to be where goals come from
Mata has been in exactly were you'd want him for most of this game. He has been very central
 
I would caution against getting too excited about holding Crystal Palace to a 0-0 score through 40 minutes. We need to treat these matches as though they're cup finals.
 
Decent so far against London Stoke, but having no threat on the right helps them to keep it tight at the back.
 
I'm glad our shite wingers aren't playing or we would've created nothing.
 
The most interesting thing for me has been Januzaj's role. With Mata basically playing in the middle rather than on the right wing, Adnan's the one supplying width from the left, but obviously as he's far more capable of shaking it up than Valencia is we're not looking so 1 dimensional on that side

To be fair City and Arsenal were 0-0 at half time at home to them and Chelsea only beat them 2-1 at home. Pulis has got them madly organised but they'll make a mistake at some point.
