I'm sure you can't say he played rubbish now. There's loads of window for this guy to learn, he's 23. If rivals attempt to throw our young players under the bus despite not having any better, we as fans should not be lending a helping hand.
So those corner kicks and free kicks he headed without even testing the goalkeeper are what you bank on as aerial won? This guy and Rojo made used of their height to get to coner kicks (they are the tallest after Ibrahimovic, Carrick) but they couldn't direct their header. A player like Vidic or even Smalling could have made one count.

No problems.

Pogba is a mixture of calm and erratic. His leg overs might be somehow unnecessary atimes. But that dude is mixed with diff creativity.
The potential is there. He will do well. But let him keep it simple and play with the team.

I see many of you like elampiro complaining about how Pogba slows down the game. Its either you started watching football yesterday or you are just pure sentimental. Scholes is renowned for his ability to control games, same as Xavi, Pirlo and other great midfielders. How do they control this games? Do they rush and jam body with all other players on the pitch or they just stroll, let the ball come to them, calm it and pick a pass. You all say Pogba doesn't control the midfield do you expect him to do that running up and down like Kante? Even Rakitic and Kross don't rush their plays. That's why they are up there amongst the best midfielders. Obviously Pogba has to improve but who else doesn't need improvement? Oga Siniza says I'm a big Pogba fan, wrong bro; I only support players who play well. I was Pogbas greatest critic during the transfer window. But I'm impressed so far.
Scholes, Xavi, Pirlo, don't do unnecessary leg over, u-turn, dribble when a through or forward pass is on.

Atimes you just do plain stewpid things. You mean you went back to November and even May posts to show us how bad Pogba is or was? Oga Pogba was the star man yesterday. Blame your Lord Rooney who couldn't convert any of the chances given to him. Should I go back in time to bring up fans posts on Rooney so we can use it to judge him, I don't even need to go far, I'll just start from the posts after and during yesterday's match. You know nothing about football.
Shut up. That was from whoscored comments last night. Go to whoscored and see for yourself.

Pogba was poor

You no know ball.

Dear Nairalanders, compare what was written above to the message MMM sent to South Africa in May when the same freeze happened.
So did they eventually reopen in South Africa, or repay investors?

Pogba is the official MOTM.
If you check his game last night by numbers, you'll reach a more accurate conclusion.

... Oh, & yes there's room for improvement; just like for every other developing player out there.
One Goal, one Assist, Yes

But he killed our attacking football and he makes the wrong decision 95% of the time. He holds on unnecessarily to the ball when a simple pass could open up a great chance

Reason they should perform well whenever they get the chance. Seriously they're supposed to be leading this team.
Mata had been substituted in some games he played well and even scored, like against Arsenal. When he left the field we conceded.

Rooney was playing well today at the time he was substituted. For the first time I saw Rooney protest being taken off. I think he felt he was doing better than one or two guys in the attacking zone.

But it is true they should do more in every game. The positive however is that Rooney now plays faster. In fact, everyone looks better and sharper under Mourinho.

I think he is trying to keep everyone happy that's why he gives them plenty of chances. TFM is going nowhere but Darmian has been linked with a transfer time and time again. Mou doesn't want any player to say "i wasn't given the chance to prove myself". About the puppet master thingy; it's quite obvious mou is no longer the mou we used to know, he has changed drastically.
But he seems not to care anymore about Mephis and Schneirderlin

The Shitty players in this team is making Pogba look ordinary. He deserves to leave every game with at least 3 assist. He's bleeping class.
Pogba is the shitty player. He delays our play unnecessarily. If he played faster, we would create more chances. His goal and Assist are good but they covered his shitty play.

Mata and Rooney just taking home free money
Pogba wasn't any better, except there that he is allowed to play 90 minutes which boosts his confidence at trying out extraordinary things. The confidence of Rooney and Mata is a bit rocked. But Rooney should have scored at least a goal today.

Mata and Rooney are no longer allowed to complete 90 minutes and they are not sure when they will be picked.

Martial should have been in the team today, particularly as Mkhitaryan was not available.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:55pm On Dec 14, 2016
Does Rojo not know about two legs tackle?

I think we should have played one winger like Martial. We need that guy who could hold the ball and drive it forward positively. We play quick passes but it's not so great.

So Guardiola is saying EPL na just long ball, Police ball upandan no wonder the English NT fails miserably when they go to tournament

The ball is more in the air than on the floor when no be basketball
Did you remember your comments after Guardiola beat Stoke when the season newly started? Also your comments when Guardiola won his first 6 or 7 league matches?

Now you and Guardiola want to say the EPL is difficult because of long balls. But you were boasting how much Guardiola was able to tame Stoke. I actually knew it was just initial gragra, and time would come when the proper EPL heat would get to him.

So inverters can burnt three storey building down completely? Wonders shall never end.
They better confess what actually caused the fire and stop covering it up.
A personal friend of the owner wrote on his facebook wall. He went there and also met the owner of the mall at the scene of the incidence. His writing is very detailed. He said when 'NEPA' brought light, in the process of automatic switch over, two of the inverters exploded....

I am not an engineer. I don't know much about how these things work.

Also, according to report the goods on the ground floor were untouched.

3. Gary Lineker

https://i1.wp.com/sokkaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Gary-Lineker.jpg?resize=640%2C415

Apart from Walkers crisps adverts, Gary Lineker almost helped the lions clinch a second world cup back in Italia ’90. Playing alongside Paul Gascoigne he must have had his hands full with keeping his team mates in line as well as keeping focused on the game.

Gary Lineker never received a YELLOW CARD in his career.

elampiro be looking @ all those who castigated Jones now singing his praise like
Yes, Jones is doing very well. I always knew if he got the chance he would prove his critics wrong. Many people didn't have the opportunity to see him play in central defence, apart from the beginning of 2011/2012 season, he was played out of position by SAF and Moyes, then injury sidelined him.

He looks comfortable despite not playing in the central defence properly in the past.

Few strikers can beat Rose in one on one foot race and I mean full speed, not sudden burst/acceleration here..
That was a better situation from where Mkhitaryan scored. He was ahead at the edge of the box, within 5 yards he was already behind.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:00pm On Dec 11, 2016
Ibrahimovic's lack of pace prevented him from going clear on one vs one against the keeper on 48th minute to seal the game early in the second half.

I think Mourinho just want to keep everyone happy, otherwise I see no reason Darmian is selected.

Congratulations!

But if we keep playing Pogba behind Ibrahimovic, we would always struggle to score many goals, we would also pressure the defenders less. Pogba is lazy.

Too bad Mkhitaryan got injured.

We needed this win desperately.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:12pm On Dec 11, 2016
Rojo should stop shirt pulling. The referee might punish the next one.
Jones should play less back passes to the goalkeeper.
But these two have been solid for us.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:08pm On Dec 11, 2016

Valencia misses next match.

We should try to convert chances and finish off this game. Ibrahimovic couldn't get power on his shot. Martial could have done better.

We should give less free kicks away. Although the ref doesn't appear to see at times.


European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:27pm On Dec 11, 2016
Pogba wasted that chance. A good chance to put us forward in the 1st minute. This guy is not serious
