    Pogba playing much better now, I think he's calmed down a bit.

    He just a bad 10 minutes and people overreacted, he was fine before and after that.


    Surprised Moss didn't rule out the goal for high boot :cool:

    Its the worst half of football I have seen Pogba play but he pops up just before halftime with a shot that ends up helping someone else score.

    He made two great crosses before that one which made the corner. He is a bit like that. Always capable of making the difference even being poor.
     
    Hopefully the assist allows Pogba to calm down. Rashford needs to stop acting like Ronaldo and improve his decision making.

    One more goal will kill this game. Hope Jose mixes it up in the 2nd half. Bring on Martial at '60.

    So Rashford misses a chance and all of a sudden he should be a bench warmer? The melodrama on here is ridiculous.

    And how exactly will Rashford get more experience and become more clinical sitting on the bench? Martial wouldn't have even been in that position to receive the ball, he goes missing for large chunks of the game and has a hard enough time convincing himself he's good enough to take on a full back.

    Melodrama? Just stating a clear observation that most will agree with. Decision making remains his biggest flaw.
     
    Not the best half, Rashford should've banged his chance into the corner of the goal rather than try to get cute.

    At least we got a goal though. Think we'll come out better in the 2nd half and get another eventually

    Games like today are why I think city will win the league. We just haven't got enough of a cutting edge. Mata and miki really need to do more. Rashford hasn't been bad today outside that chance but the other supporting players offer nothing

    City didn't score until 70mins last week but I know what you mean. These games are going to be a feature home and away, you need a bit of quality to break these teams down.

    On away games against weaker sides that first goal is crucial so this rashford chance and a way how he tried to finish is something inexcusable

    That's the way Rashford is. He's inconsistent but never lets a missed chance make his head drop. Keeps going and with a positive mentality. Sooner or later these chances will be converted and he'll be a 20+ goal a season striker imo.
     
    Still no idea what Mata's role is in this formation. We are in need of a more dynamic right winger. Apart from the miss, Rashford has been most likely to make someting happen. I still never feel confident seeing him 1v1 though.
     
    So glad we got that goal. It has been tight and Swansea have done well. Pogba so close to be sent off. Rashford need to be more clinical and should have scored. The key is to have got the goal though! Didn't expect Bailly to score haha. After De Gea I would hold him as the least likely player to score.
     
    Well done Bailley for following up on that header. That was a tough half with some scrappy football but times like these are exactly why we have a team full of tall, powerfull players. Lukaku isn't getting reached, Mata and Mkhitaryan are ineffectual and Rashford trying too much on his own. I'm also a little disappointed in Blind, though he did produce a good corner. Let's see what we can do with the goal up.
     
    A frustrating half but we go in with a lead which is the important thing. Well played by Bailly for following up the Pogba header.
     
    Typical shithouse side managed by someone who thinks they are an up and coming tactical genius.
     
    This should be a comfortable victory now. They can't put 10 men behind the ball and we'll take advantage of the space.
