Dele is a child. Needs to move on for his sake and ours. I’ve never liked Winks because he offers nothing. He can’t move it forward and he can’t play a Defensive Mid. In today’s game, he is pointless. But I do think he gets all the criticism when the entire squad sucks arse which isn’t really fair.

Moving forward, I don’t see why we have any need whatsoever to play winks or Dele. It is what it is. Sell them and move on.

I just never see it. I’m with Special K, I feel like we struggle on offense every time he plays.

Admittedly, Winks has never really kicked on. I keep holding out hope that he will become a Jordan Henderson type of player, but I'm not certain at this point.

I'm also very biased when it comes to Winks and Davies. I just really like their demeanor. So best to take what I say with a grain of salt when it comes to them.

I’m a Davies fan. He’s been a very consistent player and seems like a great teammate.

I had really high hopes for Winks and thought after his debut with Poch that he was gonna be a huge part of the team but it just seems like he’s never stepped up to his potential or what I thought was his potential.

Now you tell me!!!

I can officially stop waiting for Winks to break out! Actually, I hope he does, I do think he has a good attitude and gives a lot of effort.

We are being given every opportunity to to move up and compete this season, if this team comes out uninspired today I don’t what will motivate them. After last week this is a must win because someone is going to get hot like the year LC did and it will be tough to catch them. I want us to be that hot team. Come on Lads, let’s do this.

Hopefully we take this game more seriously than Europa this week. League is ripe for the taking right now until a serious contender emerges

Finally took advantage of some other results.

And Gareth fricking Bale gets the winner

Not even counting Bales winner,I thought Mourinho was spot on with his substitutes today.

Ndombele and Son were not having a great day at the office.

So, with the brutal schedule of Nov-Dec, what are your thoughts if you’re Jose? 7 of our next 10 league games are against top 10 with a pivotal game against Pool. Since we have a chance to be top of the table, does he forsake Europa and focus on league games or does he go all out for everything? I’d be tempted to say screw Europa and focus on the League and put myself in the best position I can going into the 2nd half of the season. Not sure if this mindset is because we’ve always lacked depth but it’s still how I’d play it even with the depth we have.

I’m hoping he puts out a weaker team for Europa but he seemed pretty pissed after the Antwerp game. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of starters played again.

I’m most worried about him overplaying Hojbjerg. He’s too important, if he goes down we’re fricked. Every other position we have quality coverage

I think you'll see him go all out for the Prem regardless.
I think Mourinho knows this squad can win Europa, so I think you'll see 6 or so starters plus fringe guys to get the job done until the later rounds. I don't think we'll see any more fully Squad-B matches.

My heart sank a bit when he went down yesterday.

Love this guy, even though I still can't pronounce his name, and not for a lack of trying!

Looks like Jose is serious about Europa League. Kane and Bale starting together. Dele on the bench.

Son fully deserves that new £200,000/week contract.
