Don't say that!!

If Utd don't win the league I couldn't care less who wins it as long as it's not them, never them

It only goes like that when posters say he has been rubbish for 2.5 years which is itself rubbish.

He has had some excellent games, very good games, very poor games and atrocious games.

He also plays in a team thats no1 aim is defence and then attack when it should be the other way around considering the players we have.

Not just pogba, but why are most of our attacking players struggling, lukaku sanchez lingard rashford, martial as well is scoring a few goals but goes missing a lot in games. Thats down to how we set up under the manager

Im not getting into this merry go round with you bud, but all the players youve mentioned are all attackers. Pogba's job is to feed them which he does poorly. Takes way to many touches and when looses the ball doesnt track back.

Look at Herrera today, perfect example, recieved a ball, one touch passed it forward. No messing about like pogba does with to many touches which hinders the runs made.

If pogba quit the hollywood passes, one touch turn and pass, because the runners are there as shown a lot more the last two ganes since he's dropped, then we wouldnt be having this back and forth.

Pogbas best games, which he has had, has been when he quickly moves the ball.

Anyone but Liverpool

Anyone from Manchester would not say that but then again is there actually any Manchester United fans from Manchester ?

Couples of things from today........even taking into context the opposition.

Jones/Smalling are limited players in different ways! How many times this season have we seen Smalling misplace a simple pass terribly out of play. It's not even that he has misread a run by the player he is passing towards, he just lacks technique. He is also pretty negative regarding bringing the ball forward from the back and his default play is to play it backwards. Rojo in the little time he had showed far more forward instinctive play. Jones always looks to have a mistake or a slip at a costly moment in him. I must have lost his footing at least 4 or 5 times, and was rolled far too easier by Kamara for one of their chances.

Thought Dalot did really well. Excellent forward play and support down the wing and defensively he made some timely tackles/blocks. He got caught on the wrong foot a couple of times but considering his lack of appearances, a very positive display. I also don't think he seems to stand off his opponent a much as Valencia who will often let them walk him backwards into the area. Some fantastic crosses sent in. Thought Young had a good enough game too.

Herrera was very positive. Quick, simply play......backed up with a lot of energy and movement. Made a difference. Thought Matic had a good game. I just thought that our forward play was more dispersed and varied today. Pogba receives so much of the ball that our forward play is nearly restricted to how he dictates the play. Without him there, we seemed to move it around differently. We also seemed to build up the play somewhat better, i think Pogba looks for the hollywood pass too much, when sometimes he would be better off giving a quicker pass and moving forward himself with the direction of play. He needs to get in the box more.

I though Mata orchestrated things very well. He really needs to operate more centrally and when he gets on the ball, as much as i can give out about him out wide, he can link and create things so well. It's a pity Pogba can't seem to operate in a midfield 2 as i would love to see him and Mata link quicker play together. Thought Lingard was a bit too quiet. He drifts in and out of games too much sometimes and his strength seems to be in a counter attacking system.

Thought Rashford was positive today. Did well a number of times and while a bit lucky with his goal he deserved it overall. His final phase of action can still disappoint and i think his decision making needs to be better. It's a pity Martial was injured as i think he would have enjoyed this game. Lukaku was honest today. Worked hard and his confidence seems to be creeping upwards. Scoring for the second game in a row will help him.

Interesting to see what team is played during the week and next weekend. I think Pogba will start midweek. but unless he puts in a performance, he could be relegated to the bench against Liverpool. I really think Mata needs a run of games more central to see if he can sustain his form. Whether Pogba fit into that puzzle I'm not too sure.

ARE there any Liverpool fans in their own thread?

A paddy complains about not enough united fans from their own locality not to mention that this is an irish board where 99% will be irish anyway :rolleyes::pac:

Ah lads I am completely on board with Nolans Batman trilogy but Winter Soldier is as perfect as the Dark Knight. Civil War is better than Dark Knight Rises. I’d put Batman Begins ahead of First Avenger so I can’t call a clear winner.

What really sells both trilogies is the music. The Winter Soldier music is amazing.
