Time to get through to the semis. Last weeks performance against Villa was outstanding in comparison to toher performances. Rooney may not like it, but him dropping back to make our midfield a 3 is the best thing for the club. Hopefully Moyes realises he could just buy a couple world class CM's and put Rooney forward and make us competitive again.
How I would set the team up (presuming all players are fit)
David De GOAT
Rafael - Smalling - Vidic - Evra
Carrick - Kagawa
Rooney
Valencia - RVP - Januzaj
Then in the summer I would sell RVP (injury prone, clearly doesn't want to be here, and ageing) while we can still get a decent fee. I'd then buy Gundogan, Reus, and Shaw. Dortmund are unfortunately on the decline and ARE a selling club, and those players will not get paid as much there as they would here so we can easily attract them. Shaw is a possibility, but if we lose out on him, I'd go for Baines. As for RVP's replacement, I'd just start Rooney and have Welbeck & Hernandez used more often. If we did HAVE to buy a new striker like we did when we first bought RVP due to lack of goals, then I'd sell Hernandez or use him in a swap deal to acquire Diego Costa. My new team would be:
David De GOAT
Rafael - Smalling - Vidic - Shaw
Carrick - Gundogan
Kagawa
Reus - Rooney - Januzaj
Surprisingly, even with the massive changes, this team probably isn't good enough to win the CL still. We'd still need to acquire new players eventually. Vidic is on his last legs, Evans isn't good enough technically, and our squad isn't good enough to replace any of the players out there skill for skill.
