Agreed.

That is why I asked since I feel Man Utd fans may have an idea of what contribution he made at least in today's match
You are asking what Lukaku did for a team that defended throughout and was starved of ball except those clearance he had to run after? Most of the balls he got were further up the pitch and not close to the box where he can cause havoc. Which striker would have performed better in that set up? Morata?

Unto the next Match!

I'm hoping for the maximum Points against the Cityzens. Pogba is definitely gonna be missed, but that shouldn't weaken the Team's Morale, rather be an Advantage for whoever replaces him in the Lineup to be positive.

Let's wrapped the UCL Group Stage in style and convincingly, then fully prepare for the Cityzens.

What exactly does mourinho do in this team? The defence is de
de Gea. The attack boils down to individual brilliance. I don't seem to get him again

Nice win by the lads. Players can't develop with this tactics. It's no longer funny.

Pogba na ode for the tackle.. Clearly a red.

“I thought it was a phenomenal game. I loved the way my team played and fought. But I also have to say that Arsenal played, in some periods, amazing attacking football, creating difficulties for us.

"But I have to say that my players deserve all the great words. I don’t know so many more in English! But amazing, phenomenal, fantastic, and deserved the three points.”

“The plan was when they [Arsenal] had the ball, we all had to defend, starting with the attacking players, and when we have the ball, we had to try to counter-attack fast and try to score goals, which we did.

"We had the ball against the post, we had this last situation with [Romelu] Lukaku facing Petr Cech and, of course, they [Arsenal] can say they had chances but we fought and we had a great goalkeeper too and I think we deserve [the win].”

“They [the players] had the intelligence to play tactically according to the moments of the game because the game, we started in a way and then, when [Shkodran] Mustafi comes off, they changed and we changed and then later, playing with 10 men, we had to change again so I think it was hard for the players from the mental and tactical point of the view.”

“I don’t know [on Pogba's Card]. I’ll leave that one for you [the media]. I’ll leave for you the Lukaku situation with [Laurent] Koscielny and I’ll leave for you the Arsenal players on the grass but I’ll probably be the same because the grass is absolutely beautiful. I think there is a desire to go for the grass!”

undiluted shame fall on those that ever mocked his purchase.

Can you tell us anyone person you know that ever mocked the purchase of Pogba?

This is the problem. A player playing poorly and being blamed doesn't amount to say "why was he bought".

One well crafted Assist, now una don start "you against us".

“He [Matic] did great work that he did in the last couple of days. Fantastic dedication from the members of the medical staff that were working with him and we managed to go from a ‘maybe’ to a ‘yes’.

"He was a doubt, he managed to play 90 minutes but I think the best words must go to Arsenal’s medical department because [Alexandre] Lacazette went from a ‘no’ to a ’90 minutes’ and that’s great.”

“The players grew up, they understood the game better and the players understood that with one game less, it’s not about focus on pressing the man, it’s more about the zone and to create a compact block and then, yes, press the ball in these areas, so I think the team felt very comfortable and we still managed to have a situation that, maybe you can speak better than me, the situation with Lukaku with Koscielny.”

He had one or two chances to score a typical striker goal. But he reacted poorly like he were a defensive midfielder who find himself in a scoring position. His hold up play was also none existence. I doubt if he won any long ball from our defence. Yet he is tall and powerful.

BREAKING NEWS

Manchester United are interested in signing Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka.

Goretzka is out of contract in the summer and would be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from January 1.

Schalke want him to stay and have offered him a new deal which would make him the highest paid player in the club's history.

man city don’t have much to worry about after United’s display, and their defenders getting picked apart by simple or over the top passes.

De Gea won’t be having a 10/10 game every match

We need to try as much as we can to get Ozil and Goretzka by January, offer Arsenal 20m and Schalke 15m, both will improve our team...I'd add Sanchez but he's likely going to choose City over us for obvious reasons.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:59pm On Dec 02, 2017
Lukaku gonna definitely come good for United. He has improved a lot, and he's gonna become a Beast sooner!

We gonna have to be patient with him. He's doing his Best for the Team, even though he's not scoring, he's contributing lots to the Team.

I agree. Pogba's red was harsh
yellow card at the most. there was no malice in the play and the Arsenal guy knelt down just as Paul Pogba was in coming.
what type of tackling involves kneeling down anyway? terrible officiating spoilt my 1-4 predicted score cheesy

sometimes bit looks as if is doing a lot of work doing nothing in particular, especially when he does not win balls and his hold up play is poor.

But i will still be patient with him and play usually leaves him isolated up front, although that's why he needs to up his hold up play when he gets the ball.

It's sad, really, the mentality of "you against us" they creeps out at every good performance of a player that was justly criticised or that of Mourinho's criticism.

So because Pogba was bought for 89m no-one should criticise him when he's churning out annoying performances last season? SAF our legendary coach has been criticised many times, heaven did not fall, but Pogba is untouchable.

Maybe we're wrong to criticise him, how about other football pundits worldwide that rightly criticised him when he's not playing well? Are they NL members? Even Scholes?

Last season we praised Hererra, this season he's not up to his best and we've criticised him. What's the difference between him and Pogba? Other players can be criticised, but Pogba can't coz he's worth 89m. I don't regret any of my criticism of Pogba last season. I criticised him and praised him as at when due.

P.S: Pogba's technique for the assist for Lingard was not "world-class", good technique to physically bulldoze off Koscieny, but not world class. Make we stop with the hype, mbok. Martial's assist was more "filthy" than his.

We have a young squad and with the right manager we can build something special for years to come I don't want old fvcks like Sanchez
And Ozil coming in...Goretza is a great buy.
