Befits their football talent. Pogba likely the most talented and McT the least talented at playing football.What a cross that was from WanB by the way. Lovely header too.How we playing ?Pogba playing like he wants to impress. MotM so far.That’s exactly what martial needs to be adding more of to his game. It’s what you want from a number 9. Brilliant
Let's come out in the second half and try to get that second goal then we can try to keep controlling the game.It’s funny how the same group of players look so much better when they move and move the ball quickly with an accurate pass/cross.
I was going to mention that. Yes minimum of 2 minutes.
Its supposed to be a minimum of x mins as well.
Not having a go at you mate! More a sarcastic dig at the moanersyes, that’s what I said
We've had plenty of opportunities. Really should be winning this game now we've got ourselves ahead.
Said this ages ago and was told he was only good enough for our bench. Absolute clownspeak.
He is at least 3 better than Lingard.Good stuff, playing some nice football and have a lead at half time.
Looks like someone may have had a word with AWB because he’s been threatening today, and Bailly, please stay fit.
Were not allowed to fight back..
Not badly. Not great either.Grealish is a player who would be a fantastic addition to our squad, but he seems to play very much like Bruno.
How would we play both together, and Pogba is already compromised to accommodate Bruno, how would we play all 3?
I guess, if the Forum gets its wish and Pogba moves on, then Grealish would be a worthy replacement.Pogba looks 50 times the player when he's not playing as a DM in a double pivot. His skillset is best used in the oppo box.
Also villa are making this easier for us by playing Grealish as a midfielder and El Ghazi as the wide player. Grealish would be a far bigger threat playing as a wide forward
It's been down both sides and through the middle. And Pogba has been excellent in possession threading through quick passes on the left and in the middle, which of course opens up things on the right.
And the sensational team move!Its crazy how our build up is purely LW unless Rashford plays RW, and then suddenly that flank exists for us. Helps Wan Bissaka tremendously too.
Sancho imo is still a dream signing. Have Sancho and Rashford on the wings rotating. It'd be brilliant to watch.If only Pogba plays like this in all matches. When that man is in form, no one can match that.
World class!!I reckon Martials been taking lessons of Cavani on how to make a yard of space in the box and flicking headers in the net.. he stepped back just as the cross game in making space, quite similar to what Vardy did against us the other day.We’ve played quite well, definitely need a second goal.
Constant fouling and giving the ball away is putting us under pressure. He really needs to step it up in second.AWB, Pogba and Martial have brought my words to shame.
Bailey is outstanding. Very happy. If he continue like this I’m not worried about or CB situation.
Yep. Pogba was the only reason we kept possession there.
Thats not entirely true. Actually the attacks are well balanced today with Bruno getting two chances from the left side as well.
Which fecking game are you watching. This is a fantastic game.
True very valid point.Going to be a proper counter attack second half, I’d like to see us work on killing games more with possession, but I get that is our style.We don't score enough of these type of goals.
Only way we stay in any title race is if Martial starts scoring. Need a reliable goalscorer.Good entertaining half. Bailly is fantastic when he's fit and gets a run of games
Helps Maguire too who then looks good esp the way he pings the ball out wide
Pogba skill was great to set up the goal
Awb was fantastic for the goal too, so glad to see the opposite of the last game where he would have slowed it and cut back instead of driving and crossing
Good movement from martial too. Him getting into goals comes at a great time as we lose Cavani
Weird there wasn't a var check for pogba being elbowed to the point he's bleeding
Fantastic.Bailly very good again. We can now hit them on the counter.Call me crazy, but I don’t mind Pogba being our starting left winger til the end of the season.I think we've looked great. Solid at the back, controlling in midfield and dynamic in attack. Rashford and McTominay could improve but I'm very happy so far.Grealish runs like his shorts actually are too tight.
Agree. Scott hasn't been that bad. He can definitely improve in the ball though.For me nobody is below 6 so far- Status
