Yeah, he is much better when he plays in a 3 man mid or a the left sided mid in a diamond. I do think we will stick to this formation, at least against Man City. We needed the width provided by ADM and Adnan against Chelsea and we will need it against City.
With that match in mind, I am so glad Rooney will be back. Most here have been screaming murder whenever he plays ahead of Mata, well, we have all seen how Mata played in the games since Rooney's absence. While Rooney is not the best No10 in the world, he is a much better player overall than Mata, at the very least he is much better for us than Mata.
Also, Smalling played better than Jones did last week, even though that isn't saying much. Rojo has good distribution but he makes the silliest mistakes. I will like to see Carrick back although it is hard to gauge his fitness. Felliani did good in this game and he will be my pick to partner Carrick/Blind against City. This also gives Herrera time to recover fully.
