In my opinion Mata is far too isolated on the wide left and doesn't receive the ball enough. He needs to be playing in a 4231 in behind the main striker. For that I think we need a class wide player. I know we have been linked with De Bruyne recently and although he is very good and I wouldn't mind him I have two problems with him. As he is young he may not get a lot of game time regardless of how good he is, look at Lukaku. Secondly we need a bit more quality even though we may have to spend big. Someone like Hazard or even Pato would work, although the price tag would be very hight.
Sturridge - Mata - Hazard/Pato
Torres
That would be an incredible front 4
Mata

He is most dangerous when given a free role and that is where he should play.
We are better with Anelka out wide than Mata

Yes that is what I mean, in behind the striker giving the space to roam and picking out the passes he wants

Problem today is he wad fixed out-wide, while in a 4-3-3 he is allowed to drift. Even de Bruyne would be nice in January and then if he doesn't do well go for a big name in summer

Build a team from the back.
Cech has lost form for a couple of years now
Bosingwa & Luiz arent that interested in defending
Terry is slow & was made to look better by gallas ,Carvalho & makalele
The midfield is slow & ponderous. Torres needs a Fabregas type midfielder. At liverpool he had Alonso & Gerrard supplying him. Man U change from 433 to 442 we need bodies in midfield cause Lampard & Malouda are too slow.
Our scouting system should be identifying players who are 20 - 24 who are at 2nd tier clubs, Young, Modric, Subotic, Goetze, bale before they become £20 million players.

Luiz was our best defender tonight once again.
