not spectacular and not as poor as been written here. talk is cheap after all.
I must however say Nemanja Matic surprised me. I expect this team to be dominant this season though.
Yes he made a few poor decisions, but I can't deny the fact that he tried alot, especially in the second half.
Maybe these people expected him to totally boss Madrid's almost invincible midfield.

Surprised to see so much criticism here.
Meanwhile, I keep saying it, Pogba is better from deep.

when the team came under immense pressure he found it difficult to keep the ball upfield or draw fouls when it was lumped to him. Varane got the better of him IMO many times. I didn't say he played poorly, but he didn't offer enough succor upfield when the team needed salvation. he can improve that aspect of his game.

you guys are seriously over exaggerating pogba's performance today, it's not like he gave the ball away often, what exactly are we slating him for

between pogba and Herrera, Who had a better game?

Except you are saying he didn't give is d1ck balls away, I can't see how he can give away a ball which was barely ever with him.

The fact that he can senselessly choose to shoot when you guys were in desperate need of a goal rather than pass to miki who was in a better position, unmarked and would have had a clearer chance at goal himself or opted to give him a return pass or chosen the 3rd manU player who ran into the box from the other end, did summarize the type of game adabowale had.

Stop comparing a Bugatti to a Toyota Camry 2017. Pogbas fee and the hype surrounding him has made sure he and Herrera can never be compared bcuz they are not mates. While we can choose to ignore Herrera who you guys claim is better than kante,we cannot in good faith ignore a supposed superstar player with 89mil tag on is head. Mbanu.....! Especially not when my guy looks worse than the washed up version of ramirez everyday.

I understand Madrid better pass us but cant we just keep a solid shape at the back and try to play attacking football? Must everything be park the bus? I don tire

It saddens me that we have moved from being a more attack minded team to one that soaks pressure all day and hoping oj offside calls from biased officials.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by joeace2020(m): 5:34am On Aug 09, 2017
What will Martial ever do to make Mourinho play him? Imagine martial and rashford playing from the wings, it would have not been so easy for Marcelo and Carvajal knowing the dribbling speedsters coming towards them. That was the obvious combination to start the match or after scoring a goal and at no point did we see it. Atleast with Fellaini in for aerial balls, those two will be on the wings to cause problems. A lot of people won't say it, but for me those two guys offer more from the wings than all the 10's in attack in our team. Surprisingly they are not wingers.

We can never be an attack minded team under Jose unless we're playing against the likes of Burnley. As in I don't understand why skillful players that can take on their men and beat them will be left on the bench for the likes of Lingard
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 5:56am On Aug 09, 2017
At this point since Jose don't trust Martial enough, the board should just get him Perisic. We need players that can hold on to the ball, go past players and get among the goals.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Odunharry(m): 6:10am On Aug 09, 2017

ToyinDipo:

My point is that the likes of Zidane and Ronaldinho did more 'impossibles' than Lampard, that's why they achieved higher legendary status.
Xavi is a CM, he doesn't have the flair of Pogba, if he could combine some flairs with his game, he 'might' have been regarded as one of the best CMs ever, and not as that of his generation.

In general this is the point I'm trying to make.
I know everyone is blaming Pogba for taking a shot instead of laying it off, which is rightly so
But let's see it this way
1. Pogba lays off the pass, and United scores, reaction will be: that was good play
2. Pogba lays off the pass, and Madrid players closed down the space, because they could easily read the move, there won't be much reaction
3. Pogba does exactly as today, we all blame him
4. Pogba doesn't lay off pass, decided to go on his own and scores, reaction will be that's the 89M pound player we bought.

That's what separates special players from the rest.

I would be mad too though, if Pogba keeps on like this, with no improvements, at the same time I don't want him toned down to just another good player.
Xavi doesn't have flair of pogba? Come are you high why are you using xavi and pogba in same sentence, Na which kind disrespect be that..

JM killed the Team with his Tactical Plans for the Match. He knows Madrid have fantastic Fullbacks in Carvajal and Marcelo, yet he chose to bench Rashford and Martial.

Had JM played Rashford and Martial as Wingers flanking Lukaku, the Story would have changed.

Also, I think Mkhitaryan should be used as No. 10 this Season. And if Pogba must play, then JM should pair him with Matic and sends Herrera to the Bench as a Backup.

The Quartet of Lukaku, Rashford, Martial and Mkhitaryan gonna be unstoppable in my Opinion.

We have too many slow players and Mou is ad1ckhead. It's this same formation he used against a toothless Arsenal last season that made us lose 2-0, a fearful formation.

It worked in his favor in the Europa league final, thanks to that early 2nd half goal.

How can you tell your players to always sit deep, wingers included?

Yesterday was just annoying. We were really outclassed. we couldn't mark with sense and we kept creating spaces for tjose guys to exploit. That second goal could've been easily avoided. Bale was unmarked right in the 18+yard box before he received the ball and Isco's run wasn't tracked well at all.

The attack wasn't even threatening Real's defense too. It was the usual slow and backward passes. There was no belief or passion to make things happen. Mkhi was the only lively one in that attack. And when Adabowale should've released a simple pass, he chose to shoot at the defender.

Rashfords arrival caused problems for them and should've scored that goal. A shot in between Keylors legs would've made the game even.

Some of the players had a good performance but overall it's worrying how we just sat back and gave them the reins of the match in the first half. It was the perfect recipe for disaster.

Mou na asshole when facing quality teams.

We really need to take the game to opponents if we wanna win anything. This habit of always sitting deep against quality opposition and waiting for counters is not befitting a club like Man Utd.

If your opponent spend most of the time defending, after falling heavily under your attack, they'll be careful how they attack you.

If you roll over and give them the ball to play, they'll inflict injuries on you.

Mou is an aashole

Mou's post match comments -


"I think we did well. We lost 2-1 which, I think, shows the result was really short, and one of the goals was offside so with a good VAR [video assistant referee] it would be 1-1 and extra time.

"I think they could score more goals than they did, we could score more goals than we did. They had a period of dominance in the middle of the first half, we had a period of dominance in the middle of the second half and some balance in the beginning of the game.

"We were playing against a team of fantastic players and we discussed the result until almost the end, not the end but almost the end."

The guy is not high but mental. Xavi and adabowale in a sentence or flair and adabowale? Please ,which flair are we talking about here? Is it the anywhere belle face flair shots he takes per sec like a loose canon or once in a blue moon dribbles?

Adabowale is arguably not the best cm in magad united we shouldn't even bother with the league.

Adabowale that was thoroughly schooled by isco in every aspect of footie.

Adabowale that made a 5yard pass look like a pregnant woman in labour trying to deliver a baby.

When adabowale decides to humble himself with is average football talent maybe we can start comparing him to the ramirez of this world. Till then.....he is just another Fellaini in a Blackman's skin.

If I am to choose between bakayoko and pogba it is the former I will prefer in my team..Pogba is not a productive player, at least not yet. I was the first moniker to use the word "showboat" to describe pogba game and manure fan were barking at me but now they use the word to describe his game. Pogba is still a raw talent and for that amount he was bought it will be difficult for him to reach the height manure fan think he is.
