Need to sort out the right side. I think Mata will come off for Mkh.

Mata zlatan and pogba have been terrific.
The former might not have done anything obvious but he's very quick and sharp on the give and go.
Fellaini has played really well today though.Pedestrian that.
No life in the game. Fans need something to work with.
Lack of pace preventing any kind of momentum.
The signs are there, will come with time. Hoping for a second half performance similar to that against Bournemouth.
Herrera and Micky would be helpful.
Pogba and Zlatan provide a gigantic upgrade in terms of creativity and that X factor. Other than that, we are still not a very fluent side up front. That shouldn't be a problem however if you have that much individual quality.wtf, Gary Neville has turned into Giggsy
I don't think there is or has ever been a player like Pogba in terms of style. I don't know what to call it, it's so unique.
This lad will define a new style which will be referred to in the future much like players who defined their position and own style such as Zidan and Pirlo who in their own right defined a particular styleRedknapp saying Southamption were in control of the game for 35 minutes... eh?
Think a three there would be good and then no need for Rooney.Carragher comparing Zlatan to Duncan Ferguson and Andy Carrol.Zlatan Rooney martial all need to stop these sloppy passes.
Love zlatan for the goal but not every pass or touch needs to be Hollywood.
Wide players need to help out the full backs, Shaw has had balls played in behind him a little too easily for me.
Team will always be a bit disjointed with a new midfielder just as the players gets use to his movement and he theirsAlso Martial seems to not quite understand yet where to position himself. Could see Rashford come on for him if he doesn't pick it up early on after the start.
Definitely. Nice assist today, not been a big influence but equally, he's not stunk the place out
Valencia pushes forward a lot and started very well. We look weaker on the left rather than the right and you have to take in mind Mata tucks in a lot.Phil Neville is a bit thick.
We need to batter a team soon, so that "Mourinho will always plays tactical/defensive/ boring football" myth can go away.
Not sure why youd take off one of our best players in the first half
In what way?wtf, Gary Neville has turned into Giggsy
FFS he was on of the better player on the pitch, what does he have to do to get some praise.
Really? Good grief.Carragher comparing Zlatan to Duncan Ferguson and Andy Carrol.
Is that bird this Natalie Sawyer that everyone speaks of?
I approveThey are able to walk through our midfield easily, need a little more protection I think.typical Jose team. More about power and control.
Zlatan is so strong. What a striker. Rooney has been better.
Pogba is slowly getting into the match.
I was thinking the same thing lol. Still would like to see TFM and if not Herrera just to see their interplay with Pogba in there if it becomes a more comfortable lead
He's after Rachel Riley?Decent. Flashes of purpose and direction which we've not seen in a long time. Nice goal. Pogba and Fellaini have been solid in midfield. Both full backs great.
The crowd is oddly flat. First league game, lots of home PL debuts, including Mourinho and Zlatan. Pogba's 2nd debut. I thought the place would be bouncing.
so you would take off one of our best players in the first half
Mata for me has been the best player.
I'm not saying what I'd do. I'm saying what I think will happen. Mata, Fellaini and Valencia need to sort out that side because Soto are clearly targeting it. if they don't Mata will be the casualty.
In a Carragher has a new sidekick way.That explains all the butthurt at juventuz forum. Lol... ccracking that dude4 shots, 3 on goal at HT. How many games with Van Gaal was that the FT shots/shots on goal- Mata's movement and passes were dangerous at times but he needed to help Valencia a bit there.
- Martial seemed to have not found his form yet.
- Pogba was super effective and very strong in the middle. Good luck for trying to steal the ball from him.
- Rooney was average and often slowed down the play when we were going forward though he did contribute with one important assist.
You talking about Rachel Riley Colin?
I agree, Pogba should have the free roaming role that Rooney is entitled to right now.Individual bits of class from Pogba and Zlatan, the team play isn't great but it's early days.
I didn't see it, sorry. The best moves forward was when he didn't touch it. I don't see what he adds to the team.As others have suggested we could do with more pace.
On balance 1 nil up is good as we have not played that good.Martial better wake up cause he will make it easy for Mourinho to bench him.We should send Rooney to Walking Football.The question is will pogba be substituted at the 60 minute mark even though he is commanding the midfield?
I think he means they've got Giggs on the half time show.
totally agree.- Status
