I enjoyed the game pretty much from start to finish. I think the front six were excellent and I would like us to stick with that selection and formation moving forward. Pace on the wings and Mata getting a run at 10. Pogba was immense and is quickly becoming the star of the team. If this selection gets a good run I think they will just get bette and better.

I am worried that when Ibra came on Lukaku was pushed wide, he doesn’t have the skill to play that role. He’s a big CF who will not add any value in any other role so I desperately hope that was a one off. Personally I don’t see Ibra starting but I fear he will be shoe horned in to the detriment of someone else; the only place I can see where he might work is as a 10.

It was nice to see an attacking formation and approach and whilst it was at home to Newcastle I think we need to take games to the opposition as often as we can. We always look like scoring so even after conceding I was relaxed about the eventual outcome. We still have the best defensive record, second highest scorers after City and back to impressive winning ways. Onwards and upwards.

I agree with all of that. We've just got to keep smashing teams, hope for no more injuries, and that someone has the balls to take a game to city who still look shaky at the back. Hopefully they pick up a few knocks and cold weather bites.

Unless City titslly run away with it, they will have a wobble and injuries too. Long way to go. Nothing is won in November. Lay off Jose - we have scored 4 times in a game 5 times this season. We’ve only played 12 league matches! If we can lure Rose in January this could be a huge missing piece to the jigsaw as sadly it seems Shaw isn’t going to cut it / get another change at Utd.

Totally agree AJH. Mkhitaryan will find it hard to break back into the team. Glad that Jose got Martial and Rashford starting together because niether deserves to be on the bench. Ibra slowed the game down a lot when he came on aswell so I'm hoping that it will be more of a cup and substitute appearances for him. To be fair though if we were losing or drawing a game with 20 mins left and you've got Ibra and Fellani to come on it will give us another dimension. Pogbas showing that 89mil for him last years now a good deal as Jose said before. Onwards and upwards from here.

Agree with everything Tony that was the only slight concern for me yesterday when Rom got shunted out to the right hopefully if was nothing to read too much into and just a way of having all the forwards on at the same time.

I hate José. The man has no consideration whatsoever. Putting Lukaku out on the right, when I have him as my dream team captain? #joséout.
