Regarding the five new players, the keeper is only a stop gap, Darmien and Schneiderlin have slotted in seamlessly and look very good. Memphis Depay had one good game, but that was in Europe, you don't get the same time on the ball in the crash bang wallop of the Premiership. I would have put Ashley Young on , not Valencia and probably taken Memphis off. He is still only young but has a lot to learn. Schweinsteiger looked very good at the start, surprisingly quick over the ground but that only lasted 30 minutes, I expected Carrick to come on at half time. A speedy, skilful, strong forward like Costa, Suarez or Aguero is what is needed. We have Fellaini for the desperation Route One approach.
The most surprising thing to me is that I spelt Scheinderlin and Schweinsteiger correctly without checking first .
