    Walking down to the game now - will keep an eye on any reactions if/when Pogba comes on.

    I am not a fan of Pogba but don't endorse booing at all :nono:

    I say keep an eye like il do anything about it. At most I might boo the fan booing Pogba and inadvertedly make it worse :lol:

    I wonder what shape we'll adopt....

    Here's my guess

    -------------------------DDG-----------------------------
    Jessie-Dalot-Mike-Jones-Matic-Young-Rash
    ------------------------Herrera-------------------------------
    --------------------------Mata---------------------------------










    ------------------------Lukaku-------------------------------
     
    Seems odd to me to put Pogba on the bench.

    If he isn't starting, leave him out entirely. Because surely having to bring him on, negates the point you're trying to make by putting him on the bench in the first place.

    It's like 'I want to punish Paul, but I'll have to climbdown if the starting XI isn't up to muster'.

    While I think injuries might be playing a part, I have to agree. If pogba is a problem, and I’m inclined to believe he is, don’t even put him on the bench. Maybe he’s just trying to avoid the never ending questions of “why isn’t pogba? Or on the bench?” Jose can simply say it’s a selection issue and leave it there. Maybe, just guessing.

    I swear these teams are drawn out of a hat every morning, with DDG and Matic getting automatic byes. It might explain how any given player who played somewhat decently in a previous game gets dropped, or how someone who’s woefully out of form suddenly starts.
     
    Just my two cents on Matic...

    Pogba plays, he has to compensate for some of his lazy, average performances.
    Pogba doesn't play, it's pretty much universal on here that he done well against Arsenal

    Perhaps he's not the problem...

    It's not just down to Pogba (btw I've not slated Matic on here) he's also just been in poor form, sloppy passing and decision making a bit dodgy, but your point is still solid. It's better for him to play without Pogba. But it's worse for our attackers to leave the ego maniac on the bench.
     
    Looks like a straight 442. Which of course won't work without wingers.
     
    As much as I dislike Jose, Ed Woodward is a major cnut too. Do your job and fire him. Screw the pay off, we will lose more by not getting into Europe next season!

    Fair point.
    Right now, I'm just dismayed at Pogba. He wants out but, he's going the wrong way about it.
     
    2 CDM's vs Fulham at home. Expect the same shite we've been watching all season.
     
    What really signifies our biggest issue is that we barely have an 11 that our fans are content with never mind rotation options.

    Everyone beyond Martial in our attack is criticised, we don't have one reliable midfielder and Shaw is the only one in the defence really.

    Team is full of shit and the manager has failed
     
    I think Herrera, Pogba and Fred are all competing for one position whilst Matic keeps the other for himself regardless of performances .
    Have we seen any partnerships in midfield without including Matic? Apart from day 1 against Leicester . And that was the best our midfield has looked all season
     
    Thanks to everyone who logs on here to inform us they're not watching :lol:
     
    Fair point.

    He was called a virus by a virus and it was purposefully leaked to the media so that they and fans would attack him. It’s crazy that it constantly needs to be reminded.
     
    I do not expect anything from United anymore. I am just surviving for the day Jose goes and someone with a positive attitude comes to United. Many say and I agree that under LVG we played boring football. But to me keeping possession and boring everyone to death is preferable to the dross we now see under Jose day in and day out. We lose under LVG but we never think we were inferior and I cannot remember a game where we just tried to block everything from the kick off like we did against City. At least we tried to keep possession instead of giving the opposition the ball and defend for our lives.

    It could be that Lukaku scores a hattrick and this may happen once in a blue moon. So it could be Jose's day. If we win he is going to spout some nonsense for sure and the fans will probably sing his name and Woodward is relieved that he does not have to sack Jose today and we live for this dross one more day.
     
    Was a bit saddened to not be able to watch us tonight. Looking at that line up though I don't think I'll miss out on much.
     
    You say that, but this is a Fulham side on the upswing. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see them up thief game against us since everybody does apparently.
    This notion that teams up their game against us is not true anymore. They play their normal level, which sadly for us, coincides at a point in our history where our level has dropped pretty drastically.
