    Oh he’s definitely trolling you and Bangkok. Think he mentioned it in his programme notes.

    McTominay is a Jose point maker. He's not good enough, and Jose uses him.

    4 - 1, and you still have to try make a point. Mctominay. Ffs Jose

    Giving youth a chance when the game is done and dusted.

    What point is he making by bringing on a defensive type midfielder? Who would he if brought On?? And why??

    If it was a point against pogba he was making I reckon 95 percent of old Trafford agreed with that point.

    He's not a winger and not good enough. Give youth a chance in a completely wrong position? Stupid.

    Every football decision at the club isn’t necessarily about Pogba.

    A defensive type midfielder and playing him left forward.

    Few minutes on the pitch when the team is cruising and game over.

    He didnt play on the wing today ,did he ?

    Who would you like to have seen come on ?

    Bringing on a crap midfielder in an attacking position is, imo.

    I would take it that he wanted to bring on players who would benefit from a confident team playing without pressure. Not sure what benefit to anybody , bringing on Pogba would be.

    What's your point Mitch like ffs what did you want jose to do. You made a comment go and bloody back it up instead of jumping around it with accusations!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,843 ✭✭✭GSPfan


    Yay. Another game I’m glad I invested time into. I would hate a return to lump ball against Liverpool but sure let’s see how we get on.

    I’ll give credit today to both manager and players as I think it’s wrong to praise either too heavily.

    WTF are you talking about. I've explained my point


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,011 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    On the whole far more positives then negatives... would have liked to see a bit more adventure and cutting edge in the second half considering the state of the game, our domination against a pretty poor Fulham side. We seemed a bit too content on ‘seeing it out’ when Fulham were there for the taking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    So based on last two games does Pogba start against Liverpool?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,779 ✭✭✭✭jayo26

    What was the point he was making? All I see is you complaining about him Playing mctominay I attack?

    Not a chance

    United and Liverpool don't have a walking football team.

    It would be a major statement but I feel he will be back in against Valencia and unless he's awful he will start at Liverpool.

    Calling for Pereira to be brought on and him not even on the bench is very odd!!!

    He can bring on Pogba, Big Fell, Shaw or Scottie. Shaw injured, Fellaini, no need and I don't have an issue with him not bringing on Pogba for a few reasons, so don;t see the issue with Scottie coming on............and on his bloody birthday too. Nice pressie from Jose!!

    Overall glad to see goals returning to OT.

    Should have a positive goal difference now aswell.

    Thought Dalot was very good although in a back 4 I thought that he struggled getting back at times.

    Also happy to see Rojo get some gametime.

    Opposing fans get joy when we don't win,some of ours don't want us to get any joy when we do.
    Hard to fathom this place at times.

    Jose showing his more humane side bless him :)

    PL app has him on the bench and Shaw not on it

    Did Shaw get injured in the warm up?

    we're punching the crap out of each other in our thread too. football fans.

    I'd prefer Pogba doesn't start against us tbh

    Seems to be what happened. Had only looked at Livescore and the line up on Twitter, so apologies to anyone mentioning Pereira. My bad!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,507 ✭✭✭Quandary


    Plenty positives.

    Dalot was refreshing, Herrera great, Mata great, rashford was good, in general the movement off the ball of the attacking players was fluid and dangerous, passing was quicker and for the most part we were on the front foot. I also thought Fred was decent when he came on.

    Well done players and Jose.

    Jose was right not to bring Pogba on at any stage. Players with no real desire and motivation to play for the club and manager have no business near the team. I'm just disappointed he was on the bench.

    All that said, we were playing the worst team in the league in our own backyard. This is the type of result we should be demanding. Being pleasantly surprised we've just beaten Fulham 4-1 at Old Trafford feels a bit melancholy, if that makes any sense.

    Still Jose out for me. It would take an absolutely blistering run of performances to make me optimistic again.

    Two of our better performing players of late. Mad they aren’t letting those harsh words effect their ability to perform on the pitch... Looks like they found a way to either harness that into good or get over it so they can perform for the club. But your mate Pogba is a different little princess altogether.
