Funny that, because two of the best Premier League midfielders we've ever seen have just slaughtered Pogba in the pre-match conversation on BT Sport. I listen and take note to what people like Frank Lampard say, and I think they've got 100 times more knowledge and experience in being a midfielder in the Premier League than Red Cafe posters like you.

If the players aren't putting in the effort on the pitch, it doesn't matter what formation we play
So by ranting what’s going to happen? Take a break son.
Its not necessarily the scoreline that bothers me but the quality of our play. We can play better than this. Better performances usually lead to goals. Our attacking at present seems to be hit Lukaku with the long ball at every opportunity. No cohesion whatsoever.Missed first half. Not amazing, then. Is what I'm picking up.
He has no choice. He' getting let down bug time. I don' have a problem with his tactics tonight. You saw against Spurs what this bunch of cack is capable of against passing teams.
Lukaku had a 1 v 1 with their goalie. He could have chested the ball and rammed it into the net. He just volleyed a very good chance into row Z.
How we downgraded from watching elite forwards like Van Nistelrooy/Van Persie into a mediocrity known as Lukaku is hurting my soul.
The lack of positional awareness in our centre forward is concerning. Sevilla defenders didn’t even run towards marking him, they had stopped running thinking they had caught Romelu offside.....a good striker ought to know he had time & space to do whatever he wanted.
Would take it if offered now - they look a lot better than us tonight.
Yep, after three quality CL matchdays, trust us to serve up that shiteWe are really horrible to watch
Like I said, good save. But a poorly placed header. Almost anywhere else and he would have scored.Been defending Mourinho a lot on here but I'm not sure I can watch football like that for much longer. Can't see it changing much under him though. Any decent opponent we face we soak up pressure albeit being absolute shite at sitting deep.
Yes. He spends couple of seconds hesitating and then moves slightly forward when he should be going back to cover the forward and challenge him. There was no one in front. It's like he doesn't want to compete for header so being so far away leaves it open to discussion who was supposed to keep up with the forward, him or Valencia.
Not really. This is away in the CL knockouts.... Different kettle of fish.
Yep, this is the matchday thread indeed.
The people are sorry oh real fan, the fake fans are sorry for not being as real as you...We used to win 14 nil every game under SAF. Don't you remember?
The absolute state of this thread.
I don't even know what that was... We can't make more than 3 passes without giving it up. Terrible 1st Half.
The diving has got to stop, too. Guys on both squads just wilting like a leaf, really turns my stomach.
And I can't help but think how we still haven't found proper fullbacks, I mean, Valencia and Young have flashes of good play, but this is Manchester United, we can't find anyone in any corner of the globe that can play in those positions? The whole defense is just so strange with this patchwork of players.
It really isn't. In the majority of cases the team drawing the first leg 0-0 away goes through in the emd.
Yeah, from the attacking point of view, Pogba should be able to take care of the long balls. But defensively, I suppose Bailly's going to get minutes as extra #6.
True. It is not minimizing anything. It is even more dangerous than attacking IMHO
As I've also said. He knows we are not up to it against quality.
Agreed mate. I’m sick to death of this negative football. It’s completely unnecessary.Mourinho doing a LVG - chilling at the bench.Very conservative approach so far. We need to get Pogba Sanchez Lukaku Mata and the full backs forward while Mc Tominay and Matic sit with the CBs.
The major issue is the spaces between the players. We need to stretch the Sevilla midfield. All our players are gathering in the left half space, we need to spread out instead.
Lukaku needs to stay in and around the box, hes physically winning every battle and he would be dangerous if hes camped in their box.For such an important champions league game that performance has been nothing short of a disgrace.
I cannot believe what has happened to our great team- we have no purpose we do not even.want to attack and if this carries on we.will get beat
Yep, I rolled that out just after the Newcastle game.
If DDG leaves then Jose needs to invest heavily in the defence
This is what makes a containment plan seem worse!Who said it was an easy draw?
I forgot rvp/rvn never missed chances like thatWith Mata not a natural winger, we need Sanchez to stay wide and stretch play, a bit like Correa is doing for Sevilla.
Some players are more adaptable to rigid schemes than others. Pogba needs to be cut loose and allowed to roam and generally be creative.We used to win 14 nil every game under SAF. Don't you remember?
The absolute state of this thread.
Here come the "holier than thou" posters to the rescue of this thread!Hate to say it but Pogba's performance so far is reminiscent of Mkhitaryan when he knew his days here were numbered. He just doesn't look interested.
Hope it changes in the second half, but I won't hold my breath.
Ibrahimovic
What's the point of this forum them? Maybe it should be you "positive" lot only, you would be giving yourselves hugs and proclaiming what type of incredible top reds you are. Just fecking bin the Caf and create a new one for you and your like-minded folk.I'm still watching
They cannot even pass the ball - by the time the ball gets to 3 players, the 4th player would hoof the ball into no man’s land and then apologise.
What a shit show!!! Whoever was in charge in the development of these players in their youth teams need to be arrested. This is an effing disgrace, the whole world is watching this rubbish.At least de gea will get the recognition he deserves in Europe. He's been saving us for the last 3/4 years but doing it on the biggest stage of all will make people realise he is the best keeper in the world.Do we practice passing in training?
This is nothing like the Ferguson era where we'd be negative but that negativity would come against the backdrop of really positive, fluent football in the league. And we'd never be this disjointed.
And you think being rich gets you the players you want. After the last 5 years it takes some persuading for the best players to come here...money or no money.- Status
