-Lindelof was judged too early including me, but he has settled in marvellously, his pAssing range, his decision making and all round play has been top notch.
- How i wish Jose will forget about rose and believe in Shaw, may be the stoking up of the rose transfer speculation is to fire him up. With the likes of young and Valencia mentoring him, Shaw will definitely come good.
- Jose is not the most successful manager currently in the league for nothing, he has won things even in the
Tightest of scenarios so I am not bothered by his game plan, once the players are up to it, the team will certainly do well. The 352 formation is all about Pogba and any willing runner, which Lingard suits well, but will he be consistent? I earnestly pray So, this formation is the reason Lukaku dropped deeper to draw defenders out of position in order to create space for dangerous passes from Pogba, with the tireless running of Lingard and the ice cold ruthlessness of Martial, teams Will always be caught napping, hence our huge number of goals recently and goals coming from every part of the pitch. Young and Valencia have been really helpful too. The main thing is for our players to keep performing at optimum level.
- our defence has never been our issue we have good personnels there; even Smalling is putting in a shift seriously. There was no time selling Shaw was an option, he is a top talent and St ill young.
- For me Darmian should be offloaded, he seem not to do anything good, but Jose seem to like him though. Tuanzebe and Mctomms will be gradually integrated into the team, there time will come.
- Felliani should appreciate Jose for his trust in him, even when everyone is against him and stay, he is a very vital players and may do a "young later. But You can't blame him though if he decide to go, the fans has given him hell since he arrived, him leaving us I think now depends on him.

Nice Contributions bro! Thumb up!

CapitalCee:
Not only last night smalling has been outstanding for some time now

You are on Point Bro! I hope he maintains the Momentum and keeps improving!

eph12:
Yea Shaw was great yesterday. He didn't look unfit at all but like somebody raring to play. I hope Jose feels same way too.

Stop hoping Bro..... coz JM already confirmed he's satisfied with his Performance, especially offensively, last Night; and promised him more playing Chances.

Pogba dominated discussions of last season, now it's Ukaku, so expect more days like this. Lindeolf has been growing in his display, we all can see it, but sadly Ukaku debates seem to have taken the shine off Shaw and Lindeolf's performances.

I especially love the guy's composure on the ball, very good confidence. Smalling is not doing too bad, and he bullied their CF last night which I absolutely love.

As for Shaw, apart from his loss in concentration last night for that goal, he played well. I don't think he'd be sold, but I still want us to get another LB like Rose in January just in case he gets injured or doesn't fulfil his potential. Our LB is a weak point for us.

The emboldened is spot on Bro. I wasn't a Fan of him, but I'm pleased with his Ruggedness and Composure last Night. I hope he improves on it and remains a United Player for another Season.

sinizia:
Elampiro's opinions on Ukaku has nothing to do with Rooney. Elampawa might be a hardened Rooney fan, but his criticism of Ukaku is borne out of his desire to see Ukaku do well especially when chances are presented to him. We all want Ukaku to do well, sometimes I feel it's out of frustration, especially seeing other strikers score easily, that makes us react to Ukaku's misses. But Rooney has nothing to do with it.

Bro..... let's give Lukaku some breathing space on this Thread. I guess you know the leading Goals Scorer in the League ain't a Striker, rather a Winger?!

How many Goals do Aguero, Kane, Morata and Co get?! Pls let criticize the Guy fairly coz we all know his Limits before his Acquisition?!

Everyone is hoping he's gonna improve on his deficiencies, and I think he's on the right Track so far.

Lindelof is becoming a new Vidic, and no one is talking about it?! Shaw had a good Game last Night, won Fans' MOTM, yet little were said about him?! JM seems to have found a good balance for the Team with 3 - 5 - 2, yet the Einsteins ain't discussing the new Formation and Players' setup?!

The 3CBs at the back are well covered, Bailly - Jones - Rojo or Lindelof - Smalling - Blind, the Depth is there to discuss and factually analyze, yet little Attention is given to it?! Shaw has picked up, played well as a LWB, a good Competitor for Young..... should he still be sold or not?!

Tunazebe seems ready to deputize for Valencia, Darmian ain't impressing till now..... should he be sold or not?! Fellaini ain't ready to renew his Contract based on United Terms, McTominay is proving to be a huge Talent..... Fellaini should be offloaded or not?!

Pls, let shift away from Lukaku Matter, these are Matters arising, let's discuss it.

eph12:
Who saw Grizzy play? Is he still the messiah as reported?

You wanna judge him with just a Match ba.....Lol! But honestly I prefer United getting Ozil or Sanchez before him.

Except a Person truly has a bring-him-down Agenda on Lukaku as opinionated by CapitalCee, that he would be blinded to see the immense Improvements of him as a Striker, a Target Man, and his Contributions to the Team.

Lukaku is improving week in week out. He's becoming a complete, modern Striker gradually. He's definitely gonna become a Hit, a world-class Striker very soon. His Ball Control has improved a lot. His passes are becoming top-notch, aerially, as a Target-Man, he has been Fantastic.

Lukaku this, Lukaku that...... for what?! Do they wanna see him fail at United, simply to get a bragging Right that - Rooney shouldn't have been sold, coz he's better than Lukaku?!

.

Nice Subs Jose Mourinho!!!

Game on.....!

Nice one Lukaku!

Rassssssshhhhhhhford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martial is ahead of Rashford at the moment. Also Lingard seems more useful on the Pitch than Mata!

Offside Goal sha!

Shaw ain't doing bad so far! Really enjoying his Game!

Luke Shaw 50th UCL Appearance!

BlueAngel444:
Shaw finally plays, hope you guys are happy now . Besides Lukaku still plays all your matches wow he's trying oh.

Hope he won't wear out, i know he is paid alot but to play every game...

Like Conte is resting Hazard and Morata Tonight ba?!

funlord:
Shaw better not let me or himself down! It's good that on the day a price was quoted for rose jose has probably told him in private that "it's up to you now son"......last chance saloon tins! Meanwhile blinds best position is in midfield...I hope he shows tonight that he can imitate pogbas quality in central midfield at least...he is no LB!

United will play 3 at the Back Bro.... Blind gonna play as a LCB!

SailorXY:
baby or not, play him already. he's been back for well around 2 months if not more. let's see the baby with our own eyes.

And the Baby finally gets the Nod...... hope he would seize the Opportunity.

patrickmuf:
Bro, sup with the team news?

I've posted Team's News since Yesterday nah..... expect the Lineup in few Minutes time.

PietroRico:
that doesn't explain why blind and darmian seem to be ahead of him in pecking order

The same Reason Lingard is promoted in the pecking Order while Mkhtaryan is demoted bro! Shaw needs to stop seeing himself as a Baby. He needs to prove his readiness anytime he gets the Opportunity like Lingard is doing now.

codedguy1:
Young is due some rest. At least as per rotation except as sailor said "tough love" could be applied by Mourinho and blind gets a look in.

I think Young will get his deserved Rest Tonight. I expect JM to start either Blind or Shaw as a LB/LWB. I'm quite sure Shaw gonna play tonight, perhaps as a Sub.

codedguy1:
What exactly is wrong with Shaw?

Is he still injured?

or has he recovered from his injuries but still not fit enough.

Or he is fit and OK but has fallen out with Mourinho.

Or all or a combination of any 2 of the above.

I no just understand again.

Nothing is wrong with Shaw at the moment. He's fit, always training hard to earn his Spot in the starting XI. But it seems with Young present Form - it's gonna be hard for anyone, not just only him, to get a Look in as a LB or LWB.

Happy Birthday to Anthony Martial!!!
