Thought Rooney did ok. Couple of lovely pinpoint balls over the top that Kane would have buried if he had been on the pitch. Nearly scored at the end there but for a good save. Don't think he looked massively out of place as I had expected.
Personally like the team, has a real balance and fluidity about it.
Delph is more than capable of supporting Chilwell at left back which is great as one of his strengths is going forward.
Dier can drop into defence and cover if needed when Walker bombs forward.
Barkley has done great both for Chelsea and England of late and on that deserves to be playing in the creative role in midfield instead of Dele and Lingard.
When Rashford and Sterling get a one-on-one I get the same feeling as when Kevin Lisbie went through on goal. If those two were reliable we’d be an incredible threat.

Lose and we’re relegated to League B.
Could have been a Charlton player remember had Brighton agreed to sell him to us for about £2m under Katie

The rest of me picks itself.
