Sell him !
Can't afford to rest him now though.
Only 2 games left, hopefully he can get through them.
He was rubbish today but still easily our best player. Even when he struggles he still has nice moments of quality, took his pen well.
His game time has been poorly managed by Ole, he should never have played the whole game regardless of the scoreline.
Until he gets injured from being over played /his performances continue to dip due to tiredness to where he's not even providing the effective moments.
He's the player that needed some rest the most. Easily the best player on the pitch for us despite nothing really coming off. Another great pen though.
He's being run into the ground playing a game every few days. We won't see him at his best until he gets a rest.
McT?
Could just kept it really tight and combative in midfield, then brought the big guns on at the end to win it.
Yeah we wouldn't have created anything, but we hardly did anyway
I completely agree he needs a rest. He looks knackered and in an ideal world we could afford to rest him. Today could have been that day, probably should have been you're right.
I'm talking about these next 2 games. We can't afford to rest him in either game.
Oh obviously not, which is why he should never have started this one for me.
I prefer to have him rested for wednesday. Avoid a loss is all we need for that game.
Thought he was the best out of bad bunch.
Absolutely. He's played far too much football.
This is true though.
Best player today. Should've came off after we went 3-0 down.
It's a good thing he has a good output even while he's extremely knackered. We have run him into the ground and he's struggling to get most of his passes through at the moment.
He's been played into the ground and will still need to start the next two games with very little time to rest. Let's just pray he still has something left in the tank.
Agreed, a lot didn't pay off but he ran himself into the ground and still picked out a the most incisive passes.
I fear that we have ran him into the ground, and that has been the biggest factor in his declining performances. The man still gives effort every game, which is a credit to him, but we really haven't managed him well with rest.
Maybe start Pogba on Wednesday and Bruno to come in later?
Tried hard, couple of decent moments, we know he's not going to control a game like David Silva so he needs runners and basically only had Rashford in front of him today as James offers little.
Let's play him till he collapses sounds great tactic
Played ok, he does look tired though, I was almost gutted when I saw him starting but the guy does not stop.
unfortunately we’re going to need him over the next 2 games, I hope he can get a bit of his form back. Probably my MOTM next to Matic.

On his knees but still our best player, hope to feck he's not on steroids/Arsene's Monkey glands.
Was he our best player cause he ran around with a bit of intensity?
No. He was awful. But maybe because he's the love of the season people do everything to pretend he was ok.
Because he isn't on the same level as David Silva?
I honestly don’t think he’s as good as is being made out personally. When we were linked/signing him - I thought he was going to be the Grealish back-up role, and once the early hype has worn off and a few more players come in and he isn’t the new guy anymore, I personally think he’ll be a sub within 18 months or so. I don’t even think that is a problem per se, he is the type of quality you want pushing to get into the side, but aside from a lot of spin and favourable stats, I don’t think he’s looked like some sort of world class midfielder personally.
Honeymoon period is over. He’s getting found out for the wasteful fraud he is! Am I doing it correctly?
Really no one said that.
He’s been poor (by his own high standards) the last few games but he’s so important to us. Nearly everything good we do goes through him. The squad still needs a lot more creativity to complement him and fill out numbers. I hope he can keep scoring and assisting for the next 2 matches and then put his feet up for a while. Hopefully reinforcements are coming for next season.

Its a management thing though. You just need the right mentoring when to release or keep which he is not doing atm. He has brilliant delivery, great first touch and an eye for the killer pass. If you have a right coach you can be an excellent player.
Only 9 goals and 9 assists in 18 games. Waste of money!
That is a pretty huge statement
He can't really have an impact all by himself. Especially when surrounded by the likes of Fred who looked lost for most of the game.
He has either Scored or had an assist in every game he has played. And if Rashford had put that chance away he would have had Both today . IMO he is our best player at the moment . Dont get how people dont rate him personally. But there you go .
State of this thread. He didn’t even have a bad game. He was poor overall against Palace (despite an assist and very nearly scoring) but he was decent today. A few really good passes and consistently quality set-pieces.
Benched for Lingard. Right?
Its funny when people always want our best players subbed or sold
He was awful today.
This thread is becoming the new Pogba thread, so kneejerk, hate this place in times like this. Hopefully you lot will ease off Pogba now you have another target.
