[edgar allan]

So Pogba has performed worse than Matic, Fellaini, Fred, Pereira, Herrera and Mata over the course of the season to date?

That's rubbish, mate.

He hasn't put more effort in than any of the above, hence why he is on the bench

 

[Random Task]

He hasn't put more effort in than any of the above, hence why he is on the bench

Because Jose said so?

 

[Steerpike]

So Pogba is officially a reserve team player. No way he will stand for that, expect him to be gone by next summer.

Beginning to loathe Jose with a passion.

Paul Pogba should be looking at this as a chance to impress. He's got a decent side around him, maybe better than may have been expected given the state of the group. It's likely Valencia will be making changes as well, so there's not much to fear.

It's also a European game and is likely to be played at a tempo more to Pogba's liking. If he doesn't deliver here, then I think he'll be on his way out, maybe even as soon as January.

 

[Devil may care]

I wonder if its a 352 with Mata moving all over

De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Jones
Andreas - Fred - Fellaini - Pogba - Rojo
Mata - Lukaku

I hope not, Andreas finally getting a game, only to be stuck as a wingback would be a shame. If it is a back 3 I'd prefer Fellaini sitting between Jones and Rojo.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

The cup tied rule is removed.
A player may now play for two different clubs, one in the group stage, and another one in the knock out-rounds.

Thought this was implemented for nexy year ?
Good that's its there though. Always thought it was a daft rule.
Should make January TW abit more fascinating.

 

[promisedlanchiao]

10 central players out of 11 (player 11 being Valencia). Lets see how Jose lines us up. Very little pace as well bar Lukaku who due to our tactics rarely shows his blistering speed. With this lineup my main concern is that Mata plays centrally as the playmaker alongside Pogba.

 

[edgar allan]

Because Jose said so?

No, because I watch with my own eyes.

Well the knockouts are sort of next year.

 

[Catt]

Andreas on the left wing? Rojo at left back again? Why???

Because you're worth it.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Well the knockouts are sort of next year.

Ofcourse.

 

[Mcking]

10/11. Had Darmian for Jones.

 

[Random Task]

No, because I watch with my own eyes.

And they told you that Pogba deserved being dropped ahead of Matic, Fellaini and Herrera?

I haven't missed a kick all season. My assessment differs greatly from your own.

 

[harms]

No,but he has recently.
People get abit tetchy when you criticise certain players.

He had not performed worse than Matic and Fred with Pereira barely played at all. Mata had been slightly better, Fellaini — debatable.

 

[Charles Miller]

Pereira and Mata are going to play as wingers? The pace

 

[mu4c_20le]

Pereira and Mata are going to play as wingers? The pace

When do we ever play effectively with pace anyways? Im just hopeful we'll be able to actually string passes together today

 

[KennyBurner]

Every member of our squad has performed poorly for large parts of the season and an equal portion of criticism should be distributed to each and every one of them, but that's just not the case here is it.

Pogba, the virus, has been made the scapegoat. All so Jose can deflect the blame from himself. He did the same thing to Hazard at Chelsea.

Hmm let me see? Maybe it has to do with his price tag or fact he might be our best player and so more is expected from him. Don’t be naive and pretend you don’t know why certain players get more criticism than others. Especially of the back of that horrid performance we’re he lost the ball a record times.

 

[Bratt]

No, it’s starting this season, 2018/19
Agree on the daft part.

Madrid, PSG, Barcelona and Juve are rubbing their hands waiting for the clowns at Manchester to sanction this.

If a midfield of Pogba Andres Fred couldn't string passes, then we'd probably give up supporting the club.

That doesn't explain why he continues to play a shockingly out of form Lukaku (who cost the same as Pogba btw) ahead of Martial, Rashford and Sanchez every single week.

Can you expain that?

 

[nikineil]

I dont think that's the midfield though. It would be Fellaini, Pogba and Fred. With Andreas on the RW.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Pogba is marketing gold.No way will Ed sanction that.

 

[Tibs]

Glad to see Andreas start.

Criminal that he hasn't featured more this season

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Played right and left for both Grenada and Valencia I recall.
So the position shouldn't be too alien for him.

 

[poleglass red]

Few lads here need to put in a shift and remind Jose what they can do. Should see a bit of spirit today, few of these lads need to show their hunger to win along with the ability we know they have.

 

[Random Task]

Jose will sanction it and so will Ed in turn.

If Pogba wants out how can we stop him?

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Would love us to continue with a 4231 of

Lukaku
Pereira Fred Mata
Pogba Fellaini
Rojo Jones Bailly Valencia
Romero

 

[Canagel]

The likes of Fred and Periera have had no game time whatsoever. They deserve a run of games , not one game here and then 5 on the bench and maybe 1 out of the squad.
I don't think a good performance will make any affect on Sundays line up anyway

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Madrid, PSG, Barcelona and Juve are rubbing their hands waiting for the clowns at Manchester to sanction this.

The clowns at Manchester will be too, considering the fees involved

 

[edgar allan]

I haven't missed a kick all season. My assessment differs greatly from your own.

Matic has been poor this year and Fellaini is awful, however I would pick a player committed to the team everytime. Herrera however has played well and is a better bet than the spoilt child that Pogba is displaying on and off the pitch

Pogba is a triumph of hype over actual delivery for most of his time at the club, but we won't agree on that.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Jose will sanction it and so will Ed in turn.

If Pogba wants out how can we stop him?

Pogba likely just wants Jose gone as I'm sure half the team do and not to mention the fans. Jose failed so hardly surprising Martial and De Gea are stalling on contacts while Pogba may leave.

Always remember he rejected the best team in the World for us while already coming from a better team in Juventus.

 

[Charles Miller]

Its going to happen in 4 minutes...

 

[Ekeke]

Thank god Valencia are crap at scoring goals

 

[LoveFootball]

Pogba is marketing gold.No way will Ed sanction that.

He's just not only about marketing, he's a great player. How some people are comfortable about losing a world class player is amazing; it's the 1st time I witness this, Mourinho is Merlin the wizard really.

Jose will sanction it and so will Ed in turn.

If Pogba wants out how can we stop him?

Jose will sanction nothing, he doesn't have such power anymore at this club. And if Pogba wants out, we can still stop him from moving, he still have a 3 years contracts with us.

 

[roseguy64]

That doesn't explain why he continues to play a shockingly out of form Lukaku (who cost the same as Pogba btw) ahead of Martial, Rashford and Sanchez every single week.

Can you expain that?

Lukaku has been dropped. The only players who haven't been this season are Matic and De Gea

 

[LoveFootball]

Good luck getting a reasonable fee that can get you a player of Pogba caliber.

 

[Ekeke]

So Fred is our 4th left winger

 

[RedDevil@84]

He's just not only about marketing, he's a great player. How some people are comfortable about losing a world class player is amazing; it's the 1st time I witness this, Mourinho is Merlin the wizard really.

Have you ever envisaged a scenario that people have an opinion of their own about every player. Not every opinion is because Mourinho said so.

On the topic, I don't think Pogba will be or should be sold at all. Unless of course he throws all toys out of the pram and refuses to play until he is sold.

 

[Ekeke]

oh nevermind looks like BT got the formation wrong like normal, Fred is in the middle looks like Pogba is left
