I'd be happy with the same team as last time with Benrahma in for Lanzini, and if Antonio is fit maybe him in for Bowen. I wouldn't be opposed to going back to the 4-2-3-1, but we need Antonio to play that system effectively, IMO.
Lanzini played very well IMO v The Blades, he had a hand in both first 2 goals and played a killer long range pass for Lingard that resulted in a corner ( 1st half )....He needs to play IMO.
Lanzini offered lots last night IMO, but because it's him many try find fault ( not reffering to you ) he had a hand in both first 2 goals and if Benrahma had made such a killer ball for Lingard in the 1st half that resulted in a corner we would not have heard the last of it IMO. All about which face fits sometimes....IMO
I wouldn’t be gutted to see the same front three, but I don’t believe Benrahma has done much to be back on the bench. Lanzini for me is just a bit of a ‘meh’. I expect him to do things similar to what Lingard showed last night but he’s just nowhere near.
Jay, I don't think that's the case. I think that everybody on here wants Manu to come good again. The point is that killer pass is so rare compared with how he was before his injury. He definitely does not compete for the ball as he used to which is probably the most noticeable thing. I personally would not want him to leave.
What’s frustrating about Lanzini these days is that he spends a lot of his time passing backwards or sideways, rather than picking it up and driving forward with it as he did before his injury.
Benrahma is all about picking it up and creating havoc, so he should be ahead of Lanzini at the moment for me.

If you click on the chalkboard tab there's a set of categories like shots, passes, dribbles, loss of possession etc. So we can compare the front 3.
I thought it was quite interesting.
