If I were to suggest, I would prefer Young to play our left back while Valencia plays on the right until others fully mature into these positions.

Apart from inability to go forward with flair, Shaw is gradually showing big games are hard for him to even defend. As a natural defender, his position is suppose not to be a worry at all. From the left side today, City went behind our defence count ess times.

This is my opinion and nothing against Shaw here. When we start FA cup we should also try Rojo there. Then we hope to see how Bailly and Jones would cope in the defence again. But I don't want us to hurry to change the partnership of Smalling and Lindelof. Let it happen naturally. Everyone will get his time.

The last two changes made us worse and the game was over when Mata and Sanchez came on for Herrera and Rashford.

From hindsight, I think Fred should have come for Herrera. I was always scared that Mata would not be able to cope with the speed of City players if brought on. Rashford could not exercise his speed against them, talking less of Mata.

There was only one way to beat them, pace and power. We lacked that in the midfield. Pogba would have offered some power and forward drive.

Fellaini was the only player who started well with good pressing. We have developed the habit of ball watching in our midfield in early parts of every match. We just watch and escort opponents lazily as they pass the ball around us quickly.

Our defence has no coordination. We need an experience central defender to organize the defence.

I still have problems with Luke Shaw. I don't want to belabour this. Since people don't see what I see, I rest my case. He is playing in his natural position and was highly rated there while at Southampton. But he makes basic errors like an academic player and offers little going forward. That same left side is where Young and Blind have punished City and other big teams in the last few years.

Generally and collectively our play was poor. Individually the players were poor. Even DeGea could have saved the second goal

One thing city players have over United players is ball control ability. The second is dribbling skills. If we had enough power and pace, we could have nullified this. Most of our players don't have the quality for passing game to match City.

This team needs a Central defender, a Holding midfielder and a top striker.
Mourinho can never defend with this team. He should forget it. There is a problem with the defence to start with.

This officiating is horrendous. This ref should be sacked. Fernadinho should've been carded since the first half.
Many 50-50 decisions went against us. But that wasnt the reason we lost.

There was no support for him in that instance where he lost the ball after a lengthy run on the right side of the pitch.
He actually ran to an isolated region where there was opportunity of running towards the box region where he could get close to the other two forwards

why do Rashford play better for England than for man utd?
He scores more for England. Sometimes, Harry Kane take the pressure/attention off his co striker. So there is more space for Rashford.

..but Rashford really need to up his game..his performance in the last three matches have been lackluster..
Lack of experience is his major problem. He believes so much in his speed. His overall play is poor. It is the reason Lingard gets into the team ahead of him.

I was so excited that man u won yesterday,intact I couldn't believe my eyes.. Lindelof is now full of confidence and I'm so impressed..Rashford needs to go on loan so that he can improve his game..all in all..I'm impressed with their never give up attitude
I don't support sending him on loan. Our players who go on loan don't appear to come back better, in fact we mostly sell them at the end. The average clubs they went on loan for a period turn them to unintelligent players.

We now stand a great chance to qualify. People said this Juventus team is unimpressive? Really? Same team that beat Napoli 3-1, Lazio 2-0, Valencia 2-0 in Spain with Ronado red carded.

Mourniho's tactics has always been to build a team that is difficult to beat, or let say defeat to score against. It is just that United players are not those kind of players he worked with in Chelsea and Inter. Players like Michael Essien, Makalele, Maicon, Lucio, etc. Matic and Valencia looked more to be his only kind of player.

Good game from Martial. Great freekick from Mata. Superb cross from Young for the Juve own goal. In EUFA standard, it is an assist for Young.

I don't want to talk about Shaw because I don't want to start an argument. But I wish you guys watched out for his passes. That is my most criticism, not really the defending. His going forward.

Lindelof let Ronaldo free for that goal. Smalling had a better game today. Great DDG.

Herrera did his job.

Starting Herrera was a wrong move in my opinion, Fred will offer us so much more than whatever Herrera is offering.

I don’t understand what Lingard is doing exactly.
Herrera was part of the plan to frustrate Juventus. Just frustrate them first, every other thing will be added. grin

Elampiro, what are your thoughts on Shaw's performance this first half?
Poor. He was turned in and out and even gave the ball away that almost led to us conceding.

But is it true that I always predict a win for United? The only time I know I predicted a win for us was against Young Boys away. I can't remember any other one this season. Chrisley remind me of those predictions

Lol, okay lingard herrera lukaku young nd matic are all better than pogba. Thank you for your honesty brah.
So a supposed world class should just sit while every award goes to follow team mates? Is that how Messi, Ronaldo, etc have been doing?

Being on FIFPro doesn't give you an everlasting ticket to be carrying shoulder. You have to prove it consistently afterwards.

Kanu Nwankwo finished 6th on FIFA world best player award 1996 and never again reached that form that gave him that position. Same with Deco who finished 7th once and Kluivert who finished 9th. Although Deco came once or twice more around top 25.

Man utd as a team are not doing that well. When he was with france he won the world cup and scored in the final.

De gea with spain was conceding goals left right and center maybe he's not world class.
Despite playing in a poor Manchester United team, DeGea has distinguished himself. When United had finished 5th or 6th in the league, DeGea was still voted as one of the top three in the world.

But the same cannot be said of Pogba. Lingard mostly outshone him last season.

Two seasons ago while Pogba and Herrera marshalled our midfield, Herrera won Manchester United player of the year. Last season DeGea won ahead of Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young.
. Matic who partnered Pogba in the middle still came ahead of him. Lingard who was mostly used as number 10 was listed but no Pogba.

We also need to understand that when we talk about world class, we should place the player in context vis-a-vis his contemporaries who are still active.
How people look at Pogba and start comparing him with the likes of Scholes, Xavi and the likes who have since retired is beyond me. In term of his active contemporaries, Pogba is definitely world class.
If we go by what most folks are bringing up here, then we might have to start comparing Ramos with Maldini, Nesta etc to see how good he is...
Someone compared him with Kroos and Kante.

Can you really say Pogba influenced games for us as much as the above two have done in the past two years? We are not even adding Modric and lots more.

Even Fenadinho is more business like than Pogba. It is now Pogba is doing what we bought him for. Beginning from October this season.

so is lukaku world class? after all he has thesame PFA appearance as Aguero.
I am not saying when you appear in PFA team of the year that your are automatically world class. But at least you can boast you were the best in your position that season. Aguero has won player of the month 5 times, Manchester City player of the year.

Currently, Pogba cannot boast of any individual award in the EPL.
