Anyway! We really need a good game from Pogba this weekend with the defence situation. Hopefully our attacking play can click again

You want to check the team Bruno walked into? Go and check the teamsheet against Wolves. Or the teamsheet before the lockdown. James was a regular starter along with Martial, McFred.
Only difference would be Greenwood as he played all games after restart, in the first 2 months when Bruno was signed, James played regularly, not Greenwood. James started 4/5 games before the lockdown and the one game he didn't play was when he was injured.
Ignoring that, lets go with Greenwood as starter, it's just one position.
So that leaves with De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Herrera, Carrick, Zlatan who were better than the players in 2019-20. Ignore Carrick too, that's still 5 players. So not "much better team".
Guys seriously, create a new thread over stronger teams if you must
Well played.
I do believe it though. Not just jumping in to stir things up. We were a total mess when Bruno landed.
Leicester 4:2 Man Utd
Played like an absolute clogger. Provided nothing on the ball and spent the whole game fouling at ever single opportunity.
A reminder of how shite he can be. Never a world class footballer because he's got zero consistency.
He needs to go.
He needs to go.
When did he turn into a fouling machine?
His 3 times balondor performance in between a mixture of average to decent games is not worth the money we will pay him and the inbalance he brings
He doesn’t look he enjoys playing football at all. Not interested one bit.
It's what you get when you play him deep. He can't tackle or cover to save his life, he never has. But Ole in all his infinite wisdom will continue playing him there because he decided to spunk £100m on Sancho and Ronaldo instead of a midfielder.
Can’t play in midfield. Needs to stop being played in midfield. Utter fecking liability. His “work” for Leicester’s 3rd and 4th goals sums him up.
Missed most of the game. Whoscored gave him a really low rating despite his stats on the site you can see being OK. I guess this could be the reason?
He is poison.
Pure shite today.
Every time he tries to shield the ball he inevitably loses it. Just fecking pass to it to the nearest man and get out of trouble ffs
can’t wait until the day he’s playing for another club, sooner he’s gone the better.
Defines our team, great on their day but doesn’t happen often enough and looks uninterested the majority of the time.

He was OK on the ball, which would be fine if he wasn't absolutely terrible off the ball. He can't play in midfield two.
That said I fully expect him to start next game because Ole wants to be "popular" (especially now under so much pressure) and now with Rashford back we will need to find place for our another superstar Paul Pogba.

In the midfield he's a complete passenger. With him in midfield and Ronaldo up top, we're basically playing with 9 men for the majority of the game.
He was awful today.
Withdraw the contract offer and try to move him in January. I don't think it's possible to cobble together an effective midfield with him, Bruno, and any defensive midfielder we might sign (much less the crap we have now).

Pogba is a complete enigma for me. Supposedly one of the better midfielders in the world and yet is not good at doing midfield things. Kept committing fouls, missing tackles and getting himself out of position. His only saving grace was his passing, but playing in midfield is more than that. Honestly keen to see him move on just so that we don't keep trying to have to shoehorn him into the side in some form or the other.
More naturally talented than Tielemans but half the player. Should have done the switch over the summer.
Suicidal from Ole to go Matic and Pogba against Leicester away.

Very poor today. Second best in the 50/50s.
He was at his nonchalant best today...it seemed running was beneath him, his mind was still with France in the final.
Was a shite performance to watch...best to stay off the cafe for a few days.

But we have to build the team around him.
It's been years of the same shit. The ocassions top game doesn't make up for all the other shite. Just want him gone.
But he needs a Kante beside him to get the best out of him.
Even my father who only watches rugby was asking who that United midfielder was, that was just walking around the pitch all the time.
Let him leave on a free he's not worth what he's on nevermind 400k a week.
He's an absolute liability in midfield.

Worst performance in a while. Shocking!
Abject performance. He can’t play in the midfield 2. Incapable.
Loser mentality.
Can't watch his lazy ass anymore.
If this fecker gets a contract extension....

He plays well in like 15 games max a season for us, so we should probably have maybe 12 more good performance left this season.
No doubt his fans would be convinced that we should give him whatever he wants to extend his contract.
Sometimes I feel like he knows he won't win a 50/50 but still tries a ball trick that usually leads to a loss of possession and him completely behind the play. When you're in a midfield 2 with a slow Matic next to you why keep doing it? Wouldn't he change his game to best help the team?
Two high intensity games with France probably plays a factor in this to be fair. It shows for all the faults of McFred they're the best pair we have at the moment in the middle.
I'm owed a million apologies on this thread. This is the real Paul Pogba. Crumbles the second he's under any pressure. Thrives when teams sit off him and admire him. How is that a world class player? He's not even close. Tielemans is a better player by far.
Never disliked a Utd player as much as I do him. Absolute pansy and can't wait till he's gone. Dab your way back to Italy Paul.

He unbalances the overall setup of the team, I'd be really worried if we give him up a new 400-500k a week contract.
The issue is, it isn't only Ole who thinks, he should play in midfield, there are quite a few posters on here adamant, we just have to find the right partner to have him flourishing after all. Imagine, Leicester paid 25 mio for Soumare in the summer. 25 million. For a guy who topped all statistics relevant to playing in a DM role the year before... how are we not interested in that?!
Ole's blind love for him is costing us.
Hope he will not sign contract extension.

He said we need to find the right tactic. Implying the current tactic is wrong.
