If we had lost that game, City would have lifted that title against United. But the match wasn't so important lmao

Pogba didn't win us the match even though he started the comeback, Smalling actually scored the winner goal maybe we should start heaping praises on Smalling and beg him to comeback from Roma since he was the one that stopped Manchester city from winning the league that day.

It was Manchester city title to loose, we were never close to challenging for the title that season, that result was inconsequential.

Why didn't he show the same performance last season against Manchester city and Chelsea towards the tail end of the season,when the result would have been important and hopefully finishing top 4. He varnished as usual,like the flat track bully he his.

Lana1:
No vex but this is some tier 1 bullshìt

I still repeat, Pogba is a flat track bully. He has never dominated any midfield play against quality opposition, instead we kept changing midfielders in hope of bringing the best out of him. We don't even know is best position, because he has none.

Paul scholes played with different midfielders at Manchester united over the years and he was still able to control games because he was an intelligent football. Not this fake Paul(Pogba) that is jogging like a kangaroo all over the pitch doing nothing.

raumdeuter:

Under Mourinho how did KdB fare?

Under Pep, how did Zlatan, Gotze and Yaya Toure fared? These things happens in football.

raumdeuter:


The 3-2 win at Etihad where he scored 2 was that a big game?

That was a dead rubber game, that match was never going to decide the destination of the premier league title. That game could have been over by half time, Man city got complacent in the 2nd half and was stunned by the passion we shown not to allow them win the title against us . Please name any other big games that had everything riding on it, that Pogba dominated for Manchester united.

Lol, it's now leadership, you started from performance to intelligence, now leadership. Keep running around like a headless chicken.

Nitrogen , why are we always on the other side of every argument? lol. Which day u go ever join my campaign?

izzou:


Absolutely right

Even the Europa league you won in 2017, Pogba contributed nothing to it. A walking pile of shiit.... That's what he is

He's supposed to be the Messiah? I quite agree with that

When Rashford,Lingard,Martial misses goals, Pogba should be blamed. He is supposed to show up mysteriously and fix it. Even those childish blunders from Degea would have been averted if Pogba didn't play. And even if he didn't play, it wouldn't have happened if he wasn't in the stadium

Pogba has cost United a lot. Finishing sixth twice is all his fault. He's supposed to create chances for himself, and still score all by himself. At the same time, he's supposed to defend and take the gloves once in a while from David. Pogba isn't worth it in my opinion

Leadership qualities? Don't go there Abeg.

He doesn't even have any. I'll prefer AWB to captain United than that slowpoke...


I agree with you footie. Pogba is so so overrated.

I understand your response laced with alot of sarcasm. The bottom line is, we can do without Paul Pogba, so he can feck off to Real Madrid or Juventus, he won't be missed. We need dedicated players that are ready to play for the badge , as we go through this transition period. GGMU

izzou:


But when you credited your finishing sixth twice to Pogba's presence, it wasn't hypocrisy.

Na people wey follow una dey argue I dey laugh

We finished 6th under 2 different coaches, Mourinho and Ole. The common denominator there is Paul Pogba who is supposed to be our messiah. Now that he his not in the team, we are doing pretty well, so it is not so difficult to know where the problem is. Paul Pogba contributions to the success of this team is very minimal.

Even Rashford has more leadership quality than him right now.

Expert17:


It's easy...

Pogba can't play Mourinho and Ole parking of bus / counter attack style...


U didn't finish 2nd in d league with POGBA.

U dint win Europa league with POGBA And he was d competition best player....

Oga keep ur hate towards him

When we finished 2nd it was under the same Mourhino bus parking team, why didn't he replicate it the next season. NO credit to Mourinho instead it is Pogba that made us finished 2nd. That's hypocrisy.

Paul Pogba Premier league goal stats last season: Scoring 13 Premier league goals with 7 Penalties against(Brighton,Everton,Burnley,Fulham) and 6 Open play goals against (Fulham , Bournemouth and Everton). And this is his best season in Manchester united after spending world record fee, that is not good enough.

With Paul Pogba in this team and with a better squad then we have finished 6th twice in space of 3 seasons.

Without him so far, we are sitting pretty nicely in 5th and we could still finish 4th. Pogba output to this team is grossly overrated.

His Paul Pogba now a defensive midfielder that we now compare him with Busquet, Fernandinho, Carrick , Fabinho and Pirlo? If he his, then we should start comparing his defensive stats with these players and you we see how useless Paul Pogba his.

Expert17:


But he's d No 1 midfield player in France team...(world cup winners)......

Barcelona 2nd leg last season, Everton, and more Dan 5 games last season..... Fred lost d ball dat lead to goals.......

Even bfor signing a Goal keeper,. Pep must be assured u are comfortable with the ball at ur feet.......which POGBA is more Dan comfortable........

Which of Man Utd player can open up defence with through pass like pogba.......

Like it or not..... POGBA is the NO 1 star at Man utd

Paul Pogba can afford such laxity with France and get away with it because they have a certain Ngolo Kante that can cover every blade of grass. And intelligent players like Mbappe and Griezman .

Fred confidence was rock bottom last season, so you could understand why he was nervous with the ball at his feet, and slow to sort his feet out.

Paul Pogba might be comfortable with the ball, but his he INTELLIGENT with the ball? that is the million dollar question. What of his spatial awareness in midfield? he doesn't read the game enough to be able to control it, he doesn't sense danger, that's why he gets swallowed in midfield when we play against a better opposition.

We need a better team player than Paul Pogba.

Expert17:


Pep is smart..... So he won't bench POGBA..............

Do u see Michael Carrick, Busquet, Pirlo, Matic,, Fabinho running up and down in midfied like Mc tominay.......
because u wanna be using Stupid counter attack dat can't break down more Dan 12 teams in EPL.....

Pep dat plays Tiki taka will now bench POGBA, d best passer in Man Utd??..... Tink am well next time

Paul Pogba gives the ball away far too much in dangerous position, he doesn't take care of the ball well, that's not Pep ideal player. I am sorry,he will not get into Pep team.

De Bruyne, their most creative player, works his socks off for the team, he can press, track back and play a pass first time and not dilly-dallying with the ball.

I just hope the board can give us an attacking midfielder like prime Modric, that can drop his shoulder on the half turn and see a pass immediately. Could that be Madison? .

We also need a proper No 9 that is very clinical in front of goal and that can hold up play and bringing in the other attacking players. I like Martial, but he tends to get bullied off the ball by defenders when he is playing with his back to goal, and the ball bounces off him too much in that position.

Pogba is overrated. We stand a better chance of finishing in the Top 4 without him in the side. I will say sell him, now that is stock is still high.

He doesn't work hard enough for the team, and tends to slow than our counter attacking football by dwelling on the ball for far too long and can't track back to save his life. And you think Pep will allow someone that jog around the pitch gets into his team? He will not get into Pep Manchester City team.

He his just a flat track bully that disappears in big games. We still don't know his best position, we don't need such headache at the moment.

That was a really tired performance. The passing was too too slow, only Fred show abit of urgency. We lost the game with our first half performance. We need help, we need to sign creative players this window.

nitrogen:


Oga, Williams too will suffer, you don't know what Arsenal are doing, they are bombarding both wings, solution is a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2.

My assertion is not just today's game. Luke Shaw has been our weakest link , he has regressed badly. He offers nothing offensively and a positional disaster defensively. I thought he was bought for his pace, he can't run.

Luke Shaw looks overweight and dead on his feet, can't even run back to save his life. He has been exploited badly. I will play Williams ahead of him now. The whole team play has been lethargic.

We need a striker that can pad stats against the smaller teams and also help us beat this smaller teams. A flat track bully is needed at the moment because our result against the bigger teams has been great.

Leyqute:


We still need more midfielders and a CF. Martial can get injured next week.

Yes, that's the next target. Creative players and a striker

Leyqute:


I can’t believe this.

In OLE you trust? People were asking for his sack like 10 days ago.

You know i have always been on OLE side, i feel he needs two more transfer windows to shape this team.

eph12:
AWB no good, he no sabi at all

I thought he was the best on the pitch today. He did is primary job very well, which is to defend. He shut out Sterling.

Credit should been given where it is due. These players and Ole deserves some credit to beat Spurs and Mancity within space of 3 days is remarkable. We just need a flat track bully that could help us against smaller teams. IN OLE I TRUST, Tactical Masterclass in the last 2 games. Out-taught both Mourinho and Pep.

patrickmuf:
Guy abeg stop insulting our common sensibilities...That starting 11 was bad and as regards switching positions, it's only normal that with Greenwood on the pitch, James had to move to the left that's not tactics.

That late sub was Ole showing mediocrity. Sheffield United were on the back foot thus the sub was needless. You only make that sub when you see that you're coming under increasing pressure...

Hindsight is a bitch. If we had drew that match without ole making that late sub, pundits will eat him raw for his tactical naivety and not seeing out the game. We had too many attackers on the field of play due to us chasing the game, it was sensible to reinforce the midfield immediately we took the lead with few minutes to play, only Fred was the defensive minded player as at that time. That late goal should have been defended better not the substitution.

It takes a lot to come back from 2 Nil against this Sheffield United side and almost winning it. Credit must be giving to these players for the show of character, this will help this young side believe that they can actually fight back when we are down and not lay down flat like against Westham, Newcastle and Bournmouth etc.

larride:

LOL

Martial was useless and deserved to be hooked off. Nobody is praising OGS for his tactical acumen, bringing in Greenwood for the equalizer and switching James to the left for the assist. The players letting Ole down are the useless deadword(Jones) etc he inherited at the club. The £135 Million defenders he signed hardly put a foot wrong.

Fair result at the end. Sheffield United deserve something for their first half display.

nitrogen:
Where is that Footiemaniac, please tell us what is going on o............we need to win this game o

I AM HERE MRS. POCHETTINO.

Yes WE CAN!

Jagielka is still holding is own against pacey Rashford, what happened to Jones, always falling over. This look over already.
