Not for me...think we need to have Gueye and Sanchez/Westwood protecting the back four whilst we're still trying to gel and improve fitness; then you have your pick of four attacking players with Jack/Gil playing behind the striker. TS mentioned that he'd try to accommodate both Jack and Gil, but cant see how that's going to work.

This guy looks good. Very fast and will cause teams problems. Hopefully he starts against Notts County!

That's Sherwood obsessed with playing the two number 10s style. Nzogbia last season played with grealish will be similar formation to accommodate Gil

Only just seen the goals as I've been away all weekend.  That was some turn of pace for our equaliser!

For me it wasn't so much the pace as the way he just .... well, barged his way through the defence like there wasn't anything could stop him.

It didn't show it MOTD but he basically did exactly the same thing twice more before the second Palace goal. If he's managed correctly, we could have a hell of a player on our hands / to flog back to Barcelona.

Him, Jack and Gil could make a hell of an attacking-midfield three. I think they'd complement each other well.

At the start of MOTD2 last night Chapman said 'have we found the fastest player in the PL'  I instantly thought of Adama.  Then at the end there was a montage of players and their speed was being shown on the screen, Luke Fekin Shaw got in there but not our Adama.

We all want to see him sooner rather than later but not sure how less than 20 mins on the pitch in 2 games in 2013 have any relevance as to whether he is ready for this weekend or not.

He looked pretty ready to me .........

Luke Shaw must have been filmed while heading to the buffet bar post-match, the fat ******.

I agree, very promising.

That barging-through thing is something I've also observed Micah Richards do. Very watchable.

That made me chuckle. It's funny with Shaw because when I saw him at Villa Park ,when Southampton beat us with the Rodgriguez dive, he was brilliant. His fitness since he's gone to Manure is shocking.

He still looks like a top talent every time I've watched him at United. Just a bit disconcerting because he looks like he's carrying weight and then he'll blaze past someone.

True but there will be some holding midfielder who wont half have to do some tackling behind them

We could have two of them. Or three of them and not bother with ours strikers - I'm not convinced any of them deserve a place at the minute.
