Afterwards last night given our exact situation right now, going for top 4, FA Cup and Europa League ambitions.
I think back to the Liverpool squads under Houllier and Benitez. It was purely their midfield and attack that done the job for them and none of them had any fear in that regard.
They were still the butt of our jokes every weekend as to how they could rise it for a few one off games and then go out and lose or drop points every other weekend to inferior team. That's where we are.
Those Liverpool teams I speak of had a shambolic defence and goalkeeper.
Jersey Dudek won a UCL with the. Fuckin Dudek like.
So the situation we are in isn't an alien concept. We should be well able to find ourselves in that regard and ignore external factors.

Ole will play it super safe, to the end of this tournament at least, with his solid brick back 6 (lindelof / maguire guarded by McFred) because he knows it's effective at getting clean sheets (and damn the rest). He'll ride most of the minutes out like that and sprinkle some pixie dust on when it's needed, like Pogba last night,
Can't say I actually blame him for cup games and the current state of the squad/injuries. It ain't pretty lookin' tho.

It's common sense IMO. Sometimes these philosophies need to be torn right up depending on the opposition and their strengths. Not everything has to be in these extremes.
Fred didn't look to worried about Milan's offences last night when he was practically a striker up in their box setting up Pogba. You just couldn't make it up.
