I miss Blind playing at CB.

LB in the last match was ok but without those penetrative passes from deep we seem to be creating far less chances. The depressing thing is that it seems like Mourinho was set on the Bailly-Smalling partnership.

Don't get me wrong, this will prove to be a strong partnership but particularly against 'weaker' teams we want to be more attacking.

The our Zorya line up also takes out those penetrative passes by having Fellaini in there instead of the likes of Herrera/Carrick.

Playing Blind and Fellaini made more sense but right now we just seem like a Tony Pulis side mkII. Might get wins but we will have to grind them out.
