Manchester United XI v Istanbul Basaksehir: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Van de Beek, Mata, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial #MUFC

Pogba should be starting this match ahead of Fernandes. Willams instead of Shaw and Cavani ahead of Rashford

How Check when it registered and you'll know it's one of the regular monikers here clowning around...

I don't even bother checking, I just ignore

Na kids like this wan make dem ban SM.

KingAlabi:
Why nobody dey mention Adama Traore name again

Because he is not scoring goals like jota

Maybe when he drops a Hattrick against Arsenal, guys go remember am.

Why nobody dey mention Sancho name again?

CapitalCee:
No he should rather go and play his stupid style at Championship or league 1 or better still in Norway

LOL I agree but he is not going anywhere at the moment. We should not go and relegate before then

TrebleChamp:
Just wondering how he got us playing fluid, fast attacking footy as interim manager, such that even Lingard was balling well dat time.

Counter attack.

But then teams prepare better for that now

TrebleChamp:
I wonder how Bruno will fare in that enjoy yourself taktiks Ole used while being Interim Coach..

How is that a taktiks?

If its defensive style Ole knows how to do or that's what he's able to teach his players, he should just stick to it.

Last season we were having fun against the top sides. This season, almost every team in the league wants to have a turn.

weedtaker:
Dis team is not consistent.. I’ve made peace with de fact. And I de get relaxed mind wella.. that’s why I wasn’t running my mouth when folks here were dead cert we will bury Arsenal.

We beat PSG at their ground convincingly and forgot how to attack against Chelsea, only to destroy Leipzig and then turn up against Arsenal like drunkards.

Last season they said it was fatigue, they said we are missing our best player in Pogba.. Pogba don come now them say na him be the problem.. it’s 2020 and people still think if we get rid of Pogba all our problems would be solved. Just like they were dead cert with Fellaini, Smalling and Lukaku.

Team is inconsistent and that’s on the manager.

At this point, I think the team should just pick an identity/formation that matches the players we currently have and train very well on it. Also everyone needs to be at the same energy level. It will be frustrating having someone run around while others just sit back waiting for the ball to fall to their laps.

I don't even need to talk about the manager anymore, I feel a lot have been said already lol

Just a couple of days ago, we had a great team that can go all the way in the UCL and league, with players and midfield that can offer different tactical options, today we don't have that team anymore? We should just be patient with the team because whether we like it or not, we have a manager that is still trying different things. We hope to get that identity soon. If he wants to play defensive, he should stick to it. It's tiring seeing those front 3 or 4 trying to press while the others are too far behind.

I hope Fred gets some rest and Tom gets some rest in our next game. Matic and VDB can partner in the midfield.

Expert17:
In-form Matic can play the DM role all by himself.

Partey got Mctoninay and Fred ability.

He will flourish beside 2 attack-minded midfielders.

This is yet to be seen. You may be right but I prefer to speak on what has been proven/facts, not what I feel

Expert17:
In-form Matic can play the DM role all by himself.

Partey got Mctoninay and Fred ability.

Matic is not out of form, he is just slow and can get overrun when teams come out to play. Teams nowadays are daring and will pressure you if you give them any small chance. Matic can't keep up with that because we need to be winning the ball everywhere on the field, not wait for the opponent to come to our half before trying to close down spaces

Omo if you guys say all these things in that shekpite thread they for don lynch una o and labeled enemy of the state. It's unfortunate that people don't want to ask questions and are hostile towards anyone that dares to ask questions. My colleague at work will insist Tinubu was the cause of everything that went wrong with the protest. Even when I insist we speak facts, he's not ready to listen.

He insists that it was his thugs that did the looting and those thugs were never part of the protest even when evidence says otherwise.

I expected one of Pogba or Fred to be withdrawn but not for Matic. Should have been Cavani so Rashford can go to the wings. Mata and VDB coming in together would have improved our play much better.

Those of you getting worked up and angry over the outcome of the match, you guys forget very easily. Just one or two games and you believe everything is all good? We're not there yet, not even close. We still have issues playing against teams that are compact at the back and very energetic.

Our attempt at passing out from the back is still hilarious and the only thing worse than that is our press. Why a modern coach won't pay attention to this is beyond me and against everything in the book

Expert17:
And many DM failed under the same defensive-minded coaches.

Take your time to watch the guy, you will see the ability/talent there.

I don't doubt Partey talent/ability. My point is if Partey is in this team what would be happening right now? Will he be expected to play the DM all by himself? Will he flourish alone in an attacking team with two attacking minded midfielders beside him?

Expert17:
You should know Arteta is a defensive minded coach, hence the double 4 and 3 CB... Partey is a conplete midfielder, can do anything.

Pair Pogba with 5 DM and 5 CB he will still play rubbish....

So Partey has made his name playing under defensive minded coaches where more players are also required to defend? I would love to see him under a coach where he's the only DM and no one to help him

Expert17:
Partey can pass

Partey can Mark/tackle

Partey can shoot/score/assist

Partey has energy/passion

Yet he was paired with another DM and 3 CB. The coach didn't trust him enough to play that DM all by himself?

Last week players stepped up, today they're dead. Bruno, Rashford and Greenwood didn't do anything in this match, but but those 3 CM are dead lmao

Lana1:
U just cant hear anyone criticize Fred, your dïck go don hard like ice block.

Where did you see me hailing Fred for his performance against Leipzig? Unlike you, i knew it was only a matter of time before he fúcked up again coz it's the same Fred we've been watching all this time.

By the way, I never put our win against Leipzig down to any Ole's tactics. I simply said "the players stepped up". If u've forgotten, u can go and dig up my posts. E no too far. It was just last Thursday.

You mentioned 3 dead CM, I didn't even mention Fred's name. Maybe Fred alone is the 3 CM

Lana1:
This team is just so unbalanced.

Dead fullbacks. No natural DM, RW, CF.
Everybody just dey play anywhere, anyhow.
Manager sef dey do anyhow.

Cant remember the last time we had full backs running the show for us. At least we know what AWB is good at and what he isn't good at.

But that Shaw, the sight of him just annoys me. Dead offensively. Dead defensively.

Everything is just dead for your end except the manager. While the players are dead, the manager dey do anyhow. God epp us

Lana1:
It's not one and the same. If Maguire got injured today, we have Tuanzebe to step in.

All McTom does is bulldoze other players. Fred is only good for pressing the other team. Put the ball at his feet and he cant do anything with it. And Pogba will continue being shït.
Cant play a diamond with 3 dead midfielders.

I'm not saying we should sell all of them(only Pogba sha) but we definitely need a DM.

But but when they won Leipzig they were not 3 dead midfielders o. That time it was Ole the tactician. Now they have lost with horrible display they're now dead midfielders

Expert17:
Its late now, ....Thomas Partey can do everything you listed.

You know Partey had another dm in Elneny beside him plus 3 CB right?

I wonder what VDB has to do to start more games. He's better at holding the ball and covering more grounds

Our press should be the worst in the league lmao. This has been obvious for a long time, I don't know why nothing has been done there

We had a bad game, we should move on. Looking forward to the next game

weedtaker:
If we tow your lane now them go say we the criticize the coach.

Our set up is rubbish.

It's not rubbish, assnal prepared for it. There's a difference

afrodoc2:
Yes that might be the solution. Destroy the diamond and bring on Cavani for Fred probably.

Yeah

We need in game management here. Assnal are well prepared for this 442

Lol what do you people mean by two midfielders? Is it only those two you see in the middle or because it's what you see as the formation?

Assnal are being more aggressive in that midfield. I suggest we surrender it to them, withdraw a midfielder and bring in Cavani. Greenwood should switch to the right wing and Rashford left. We need to scatter those assnal CM to the left and right side to ease the game in the middle.

engrelvis:
y exactly did ole buy cavani n VDB? I will play Cavani ahead of Rashford any day.
