With the players available I would have taken the league position but NOT the peformances, tactics and lack of goals.
As I have already said this is not about the league position.
If Lingard is not a striker why sign him? As I said he scored 6 in 12 at Birmingham as a centre forward and is top...
It's not about the league position though - it's about the boring and negative style of play. 39 goals in 38 games is pathetic.
We sign Lingard who is a proven goalscorer and then play him as a bloody left winger.
