Agree. But Semedo left his man several times, dragging CB roles with Pepe and Diaz. At some point, the three of them were together in the name of securing the middle.

If we're to ask, who was Semedo's man in that match? Hope you're not referring to those full backs that were finding joy down the wings?

nitrogen:
As in. Being flexible is a gift sha. Same wing, same player, Semedo has been chopping shit since the game started.

Manager should have tweaked the formation after the two own goals.

I can't blame Semedo here. He got no assistance on that wing for Silva in the first half. Attackers should be pressing and tracking back to assist the full backs too. They can't do it alone

Bruno comes with studs in his boots...

Say no to players that fall like they're under anointing...It's Manchester United and not Synagogue Church Of All Nations...

You sure say you never high? What's this na?

patrickmuf:
Key for a bottling company...Next.

Bruno is also key for the bottling company... Previous

patrickmuf:
Fred...

Fred is key player for his club and country. Martial is a ..... for his club and country. Fill in the gap

chai I was hoping for an upset. Are we not going to see any upset this euros ni?

patrickmuf who are you passing to here o? Rashford or Mbappe?

adebayo201:
One thing is certain, after Euro, some players values will increase while some will be trashed.

Depending on the scout department to look at it from all point before going for a player.

We have a scouting department? Interesting

handelex:
What world of difference a World class manager can have on a team. Southgate and Ole seems to be cut from the same cloth.

Definitely
The manager job goes far beyond selecting team sheet. Southgate is even failing at that

How can you leave your best creative players on the bench

handelex:
This England play the shittiest football ever and its not even close yet their arrogance is through the roof

Its the manager. They have a very good team

Sniper4real:
Watched the match. Fred did well to some extent. He played the CM role normal, not much on defensive duty.

We really need A DM. Not all dis CMs turned DM.

While Fred starts, Caseimero and Fabinho dey rotate position. Some people here no know ball finally

KingAlabi:
Fred with another assist for Brazil

We need a CDM badly, our midfielders seem to click with them.

Meanwhile somebody's MCM was pursued away from the French team with spoon

patrickmuf:
If you see Mbappe making a run and on one side, you see Martial/Rashford, who will you rather pass to?

Depends on who has the advantage at that time. Many things are involved on the field na. Its not just black and white

patrickmuf:
Let's not just talk about Pogba and his performance for France, let's talk about the players they have up front. As a midfielder, if you trust your strikers, you'll not hesitate to find them when you have the ball. Imagine Pogba seeing Cavani making a run with too defenders close to him, he'll definitely think twice about the pass because Cavani doesn't have the legs...If it's Rashford, he'd be certain he won't make anything out of the pass...

Pogba trust Mbappe and that's why he never hesitates to find him...

As others have posted another area we need to strengthen is the midfield (defensive midfield), Kante did the job of Mcfred whilst Rabiot provide support when needed whilst helping to carry the ball forward...Ole should fix our midfield if he is serious...

Patrick this one no make sense. How many of those passes did they make anything out of yesterday? One would think France score many goals yesterday or the players made something out of those passes every time

patrickmuf:
He deserves another season here...We just can't bin him after one season...

Hazard also had a disastrous season with Chelsea couple of years ago but they didn't sell him afterwards, they kept the faith and rediscovering his form, they sold him to Madrid making massive profit in the process...

Yimu

patrickmuf:
Hehehe na here we dey when una go line up dey pay debts of respect you guys are owning him...

Are we still talking about Martial here? Just forget it

patrickmuf:
eph is behind it, he doesn't want anything that will see Fred on the bench...

When you're good, you're good. Where your boy Martial dey now sef? Nobody wants him?

LostMyZeal:
lol...Pogba needs to fvck off as soon as possible with his unending inyanga

Abd by the way, Pogba's sale will raise the money.

Who're you gonna sell? Tell me!

Imagine being in need of money
Shebi na the most Marketable good you go sell

Y'all stop defending Pogba blindly

Pogba was good last season. I don't know what you're talking about.

TrebleChamp:
How much would you suggest the club offers Pogba? Cos if rumours of wages he is demanding are true, he is better off being sold (if any club come for him) or leave for free next season...

But if he's making unreasonable demands, then the club can let him go

LostMyZeal:
Oh wow...what system, if I may ask?

Simple style

patrickmuf:
Koke is creative if required to and he adds that defensive solidity you don't get from Pogba...I like Pogba but he has to renew ASAP, we can't afford to lose a player of his calibre for free...

I agree, we shouldn't lose him for free. However I'm very concerned about our creativity going into the new season. We can't leave it for Bruno and Rashford. I hope we get Sancho, a CDM and a very good and creative it Pogba leaves

96forever:
They play with 3 midfielders in a 4 3 3, Casmeiro is the DM, Fred the box to box and Paqueta as the more advanced. He’s been pretty good for Brazil, rarely losses the ball and has been tidy with his passes.

His pairing with Casmeiro who’s a sitting DM is working out fine.

A Pogba swap with Madrid for Casmeiro?

Caseimero is a key player for real Madrid. Unless the new coach does not want him

patrickmuf:
Casmeiro and Fabinho play the same position...Fred is more a box-to-box CM...

No too follow eph for Fred matter, him go use you catch cruise...

LMAO I was being serious. I mean a whole footballing country like Brazil dey start Fred? Things dey occur

patrickmuf:
If we can get Koke and Phillips, Pogba should be sold, it will be painful if he leaves on as free for the second time, it'd mean we didn't learn anything from his first departure...

Koke? I'm not sure he's that creative o

96forever:
Fabinho is fit, people are making arguments that Fabinho’s competition isn’t Fred rather its Casmeiro. But I doubt that, I think the coach prefers Fred.

I'll need to watch their games to see how they play and what Fred contributes to the team

96forever:
Yea, seeing as he’s in his last contract ( no talks about renewal) and he would be free next season it’s better to cash in now than lose him for nothing.

It would be good if he extends though.

He will renew if the club is serious

96forever:
Fred seems to be a starter in this Brazil team, have started 3games in a row, keeping Fabinho on the bench.

I'm not sure fabinho is fit. In what world does Fred benches Fabinho?

96forever:
We can sell Pogba who’s going into his last year and spend on Philips, Philips is more than capable of playing the double pivot with one of Scott/Fred and can also act as a single DM, it’s actually a no brainer... shame our useless staffs don’t have the brain to see this ... only rice rice, even most United fans especially the British ones having been hyping rice up like the next Roy jeans.

Do we have to sell Pogba to buy another player? There are many other players we can sell if we need to

afrodoc2:
Add small change to that Rice money and you buy both Phillips and Varane easily. And you then spend money Sancho.

I hope people saw yesterday what could happen if we blow the whole transfer budget on Kane. He is not prime Messi or Ronaldo. He can't do it alone, if not Spurs won't be coming 7th with the EPL top scorer and assister.

At the end of this transfer window, we may have missed out on all the players and end up making a panic buy that may not fit the system

afrodoc2:
Once a few reputable journalists start hyping a player the clubs and scouts get tunnel vision.
A good example is the myth that Declan Rice can play well as a solo CDM when there is no evidence of that for either club or country.

The way some popular, influential united fans are trying to push Rice as our savior in that role, I laugh. No single evidence at all

patrickmuf:
After playing over
30 games in the past season, any EPL team that waits for the Euros to spot him is a useless team...They're players that will be made known by their performance in the Euros, definitely not EPL players...

I was impressed by Philips. I haven't really watched him in the last season but I'm aware of his qualities. And he comes from a Biesla team that play high tempo. I'll be more excited about his purchase than that of Sancho

KingAlabi:
E shock you?
I am a Fred fan, but e no mean say I no go yab am or troll you when e fvck up.

No wahala. Carry go
