AdisaOwala:
If Mata is fit, i'd rather he starts on the RW & Miki on the left..

That is an option but with slow Zlatan at the 9 we need some pace in that attack and i don't think Miki alone can offer it, we know Mata won't

AdisaOwala:
I am quite impressed with Rashford's performances for the club thus far & I think we have a potential world class player on our ranks.

However, I am not quite sure he should be starting too many games for us just yet....

For me, I believe his qualities would not be fully Optimized on the flanks - shunting him out wide might even hinder his development as a CF (we don't want another Danny Welbeck on our hands)

I think he should be coming off the bench either to....

1.partner Ibra Upfront (whenever the team is in search of goals),

2. or replace the Swede when we are coasting to victory.

You have a point but you have to remember that with Martial injured Rashford is our best bet on the left flank. The rest are just not consistent enough and we desperately need these 3 points let's be honest with ourselves. After today we can consider Rashford's future.

Also it is not like he would be shunted to the flanks for ever but for today with Martial injured, Mikki struggling for fitness and Lingard struggling for form he might have to do a job for us on the flank for today.

His finishing will always be better than Welbeck's even if he plays in goal for a season, he is a natural finisher. Also remember that playing on the flanks at Monaco and Juve did not stop Thierry Henry from developing into one of the top finishers of the modern game.

Lol
E be like say i don hand A40 machine gun.
See as e dey harass airmark?

elrony:
Cool... With Luke Shaw at LB tho

He had a groin strain last week but somehow they are saying he is fit this week....it might be risky for him in terms of him aggravating the injury and missing action for a long time. If he is truly fit of course Shaw comes in and Blind drops to the bench.

Today's match at Old Trafford will go a long way in assessing the mental strength of the team and their unity behind Mourinho. After the tribulations of the last couple of weeks nothing but a good performance and a win is good enough, and it starts by choosing the right players, using the right formation and employing the right tactics.
I would go

------------------------------De Gea-------------------------
--------Valencia-----Smalling-------Bailly------Blind-----------

-----------------------------Carrick---------------------------
----------------Herrera---------------Pogba-------------------

-------Mkhitaryan------------Zlatan--------------Rashford---------

I have always known Elamps had the ability to dehumanize his opponents. All those who are quick to insult him and call him names should take note, it is his peaceful nature rather than his lack of ammunition that makes keeps him from retaliating.

At early 20s I had already finished my NYSC and started working in a blue chip company contributing to the economic development of this country. In fact one of the biggest companies in this country. At that age I already joined my parents in paying school fees of some of my younger ones in the university because I came from a large family. In my later 20s I had already sent someone abroad and still financing his expenses there.

Be there praising yourself for accomplishing sex, drugs and party in early 20s. You probably prefer to remain in school into your 30s to keep boasting of your wayward lifestyle. It will take you forever to realize that your mates have long outgrown the worship of images of Michael Jackson, Tupac, Cris Brown, Rihana, kidrock, SlaughterGang etc which you are still so much fascinated about.

Keep Slaughtering your youth away with your visionless gang members.

Rapper ko wrapper ni.

Ah han! That was a bit harsh

Elampiro no go kee pesin!
Dead people and evil spirits ?

SIRcumalot:
I still dey wonder how una dey watch this youth team games to able to talk extensively on who is decent and who isn't.

I have MUTV and watch the matches regularly.
Before then I used to watch extended highlights on Manutd.com

Congrats Ibime

If you guys want to argue with Diademk07 at least argue with facts and be informed first.

One of these guys said Harrop was 2 years older than Perreira
Another one said LVG picked Rashford ahead of Fletcher for that fateful Rashford debut?
How could Fletcher have trained with United before the match when he was on loan?

I can only marvel at the time Elampiro and his opponents have on their hands.
So for all of una church minds now, una tink see una fit convince each other say na una right but the other party wrong?

A40:
Apoche cra cra no too understand English so we no fit too blame am

This argument has been going on for months now, i think you should just drop it cos u ain't gonna convince the other guys that you are right.
I just want to hail the makeshift/interim/temporary/stopgap defender who has been playing the same position for 5 years now for his club.

Was Frank Rijkaard a makeshift midfielder?

Elxandre:
You mentioned that they look unstoppable, and I told you many suggested that early last season too.
How does it not relate to the discussion?

You implied that I in particular said so about them last year.
They have added arguably the best manager in the world.
Added a word class midfielder
And 2 of the best young wing forwards in Germany and Brazil.
Man City derailed their own season last year by letting the players and the whole world know that Pellegrini was a dead man walking

This is why I advised Bigkesh to join Army instead of going to medical school
Is this how you want to be treating your patients? You are meant to be treating people not maltreating them!

Elxandre:
Last season.

I think you are mistaking me for someone else.
And I don't even see how it has anything to do with the discussion at hand.
Sometimes one has to draw line between Loyalty and Reality.... This team is not playing as a team

Elxandre:
This was the hype you people gave City last time out.

Last time out when?

Of all our players Fellaini has been the one that has played to his highest potential, a shame this highest potential is not much to start with.
Mourinho has to bring Carrick into the team to control the midfield from deep, move Pogba to this LCM role and play someone else Fellaini/Herrera/Schneiderlin at RCM and drop Rooney to the bench. I believe this gives our midfield the best balance

Lana1:
Considering our manager was Mourinho and considering he spent 89m on one player and got all the tranfers he wanted, was it too much to hope for 13 points from our first 5 games??

I am not talking about this season but about the last 3 seasons. Even during the darkest days of Moyes and LVG this thread was still littered with such unrealistic predictions. Predictions that went against our performances at those times.
Its not all doom and gloom as i expect Mourinho to buckle up and reshape the team cos his managerial career is at risk here. My pre season expectations were top 4 and maybe 2nd and it is still within reach.

And i repeat WASTING all that money on a showboating haircut model when we could have improved our midfield with real quality playmakers and real box 2 box midfielders is one of our major problems this season.

Carrick is getting old, Schweini is old already, Fellaini and Herrera in my opinion are too limited for a club aiming for titles to rely on, Schneiderlin has been a disappointment. Pogba has played in ready made midfields all his life were there are playmakers and true hard working box 2 box midfielders or DMs who can make up for his lack of work rate and lack of tactical discipline. He would struggle to thrive in our present set up.

Also throughout the pursuit of Pogba so Mourinho for him own mind tink say Pogba and Fellaini in a 2 man midfield would work in this EPL with hungry teams? He could not think of a better plan than to play 4 slow poisons in Fellaini, Pogba, Rooney and Zlatan through the middle. D guy must be deluded.

A40:
Long and short of the story Moaninghoe pattern don cast. Thank God my boy Schweinsteiger is not part of this shipwreck
Lmao. See how them finesse am. The hype after 3 games was unbelievable

That has been the pattern on this thread for a few years now.
You hear things like "We are facing just Stoke, Watford, Crystal Palace and Everton so we should get at least 10 points from these matches".
Then we go and lose 2 or 3 of these so called easy matches.
Same thing every season. Even offline some of my United friends were so confident before the City match I thought I must have been missing something.
Only the grace of Jehovah Jireh and the unreliability of Claudio Bravo can save the EPL from falling to City this season. City are playing fluid attacking and effective football and they have not really unleashed Gundogan (who I rate highly), Sane would improve and ...erm Gabriel Jesus is coming in January.

eph12:
The money spent on buying Pogba is not the reason for Martial uselessness or Miki shocking display against City. Jose is to blame. He can't get his team to string 10 passes together and get into channels. That's the problem not whatever amount Pogba was bought

Pogba was bought for that fee as our only central midfield addition when it has been argued that we needed 2 world class signings in that department. Considering the fact that we got Pogba for Matuidi+Kroos or Kante+Modric or even Veratti+Pjanic money AND our midfield is still our weak point THEN it can be said that POGBA and his FEE are problems.
We sign a MIDFIELDER for a WORLD CLASS FEE and our midfield has been our weakest department and he has been arguably our worst first teamer......and you say that is not a problem?

Those guys that were in support of the Pogba world record signing can now see what others felt. That money spent on Pogba could have solved all our midfield problems if spent with football and not hype in mind. Now the midfield problem is still as huge as before we spent 90m pounds.
What is the point of spending all that money to spit in the face of Madrid if it means clubs like Watford and Feyenoord would in turn spit in our face?

The deed has been done though so the manager has to find a team that best showcases the abilities of the 90m pound white elephant in the room....Pogba
I would suggest a 4-3-3 with Carrick as holding. something like this

-----------------------DE GEA-------------------------
---VALENCIA------BAILLY-----BLIND-------SHAW-------

--------------------CARRICK-----------------------

----------FELLAINI---------POGBA---------------------

--RASHFORD------ZLATAN---------------MARTIAL-------

The main reason you peeps think Adisa is Coogar is cos of the deathblow he gave SailorXY

Adisa is Dadehmola right from his dislike for youth team players to the patented yabs he drops on Dayo .

But come o Adisa, kila gbe kile ju? On top this kekere matter? Someone can't play with you again?

Lol
Dope all your moves are being monitored.
U want chestar, brestar and now you wan score own goal with your Aunty for here ?
U no fear God?

SIRcumalot:
I think one thing we all agree on even we that wanted pogba is that he no worth that money.
I do think he is the missing link to our midfield situation just not in This exotic 4-3-3 role I keep reading here.

He is the missing link i agree......because he goes missing a lot. Why buy him if he is not worth the money? He cant solve our midfield problems buy himself. That money could have been better utilized is my point

SIRcumalot:
too soon doki
what happens he if he turns it around in the 2nd half?

Against Feyernoord?
I am not using just this match to judge, i am using the Pogba whose matches i have watched right from youth team level till now.
He is not a world record player and if that money had been spent on Kante, Pjanic and Matuidi our midfield problems would be over.....that money was wasted.

Nihilist:

There was never any reason to spend that kind money on this guy, he is never going to be worth that fee or that hype.....na money mainly down the drain.
Money that would have bought Lord Kante and Modric/Kroos/Pjanic.
Our midfield is still as disjointed as ever. Only Claudio Bravo can give us a chance of winning this EPL.

This airmark na craze man

So this Pogba is the guy we broke world record for?

Maybe something like this.

......................Romero.....................
....TFM.....Smalling...Blind........Rojo.....

...........Schneiderlin....Carrick.........

.Young.............Pogba.............Depay

....................Rashford...................

Osanobua! This early morning?
AdisaOwala take time o
