"First of all, the way the team played last season was very different – I’m not saying better or worse, just different.

"Probably Anthony was feeling more comfortable playing that way, at that intensity, at that rhythm of the ball – possession and ball circulation. So he probably needs some time.

"We have Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Depay, Mata, Rashford and Martial – these are the positions where we have more options.

"You have one opportunity, maybe two or three. If you don’t bite, somebody comes and takes the meat."

My dissatisfaction with Pogba isn't necessarily "unchangeable"...

When De Gea was dropping clangers week-in-week-out during his debut season, I was one of his strongest critics here - this was because his errors were costing us valuable points.

He improved & as we all know, the rest is history!

If Pogba turns a new leaf, I wouldn't be ashamed to eat the humble pie bro.

And Oasis007 go dey talk say I dey hate on Pogba when this bros feels Pogba can die for all he cares grin grin

Really don't know what to say again! Perhaps I should join the Anti-Pogba Group.

I'm less concerned whether anyone is hating on Pogba or not; and honestly you and Sinizia are always objectively critiquing Pogba and his performance for the Team.

I'm only saying we should give him at least a Season to prove his worth for the Team. I'm ain't asking for too much nah!

If you check few pages you'll see me standing up for Pogba. He's been playing well recently and I'm okay with that. This issue wasn't even about Pogba, so I don't see what the problem. I don't understand why saying the truth about Pogba being a constant in all Mourinho's midfield pairings is an issue. Abi i dey lie? Pogba has been paired with Carrick, Herrera and Fellani. So what's wrong in that statement?
grin

JM is simply experimenting in order to get a perfect Pairing with Pogba. So far..... Pogba has played well along with Carrick, but you and I know Carrick time will soon be over.

I think, and I've also suggested it earlier in my previous posts - that Herrera should be given a chance.

JM should consistently pair both Herrera and Pogba until they master and understand each other better! Fellaini isn't a United standard, same as Schleiderlin. They should be disposed as soon as possible, and be replaced with just a decent Midfielder.

I think the emboldened should be directed to Pogba & his agent......

It isn't the fault of Nairaland Posters that our expensive Dabadihno (one of the highest paid players in the world) is a "Paparazzi loving", "Limelight crazed" juvenile who showboats unnecessarily....akin to an unserious teenager representing his School at Shell cup with the primary aim of impressing his babe & her friends that come to cheer him in the stands....

P.S : I don't think world record transfer fees & hefty wages are paid for "future purposes"- the earlier he shelves Fùcktever ballon d'or aspirations that seem to be messing with his head & starts concentrating on being a more useful team player, the better for him, his manager & the club as a whole!
grin

Mr. Adisa!!!! Habaaa!!!

That's too harsh nah! All these for Paul Pogba?! Did he murder someone or steal IPhone 7?!

We need to trust him, we need to support him, and we should hope he turns out to a world class Player!

I take it that I'm among those you're referring to by your post. I didn't say Pogba is a burden to our midfield. What I meant is that the exact place and whom to pair him with has been a headache for Mourinho. Since he can't bench him even when he's been below par, Mourinho has been forced to tweak his line-ups to play to Pogba's strength.
grin

Seriously I'm ain't referring to you at all, and you ain't among the Dudes I aimed with my Post!

But..... buh..... ain't you satisfied with Pogba so far?! Is he not adapting, improving and gelling up with the Team gradually?!

I only hope JM would give Herrera and Pogba a chance to gel and develop well together. We need Pogba as our B2B Midfielder. We need him to keep playing the position consistently until he makes it his own!

I've once said it, and still will keep saying it; that United Fans are OLIVER TWIST!

We are more concerned with Pogba's price Tag than his age and experience. We want him to be a combination of both Messi and Ronaldo because he's the most expensive Player at the moment.

Alas! Pogba is basically secured for the Future! We can't lose him twice, and those saying he's a burden to our Midfield, should pls judge him fairly! You want Cavalho, Verrati, Buggati?! Lol!

What else are we expecting from him?! To start banging Goals week in week out?! Let's be fair for once pls.

When are we gonna appreciate the Lads, enjoy their play and get entertained?! Trophies will definitely come - slowly but surely United will get back to the TOP!

"We showed that we are in a good way. We have a great team and I think for any opponent it’s so difficult to play against the movement of the players. 

"The job is not done but we’re in a good way, on a good track, so we’re going [to Zorya] with confidence.

“I think it’s important for a club like Manchester United that there’s challenge for places in the team.

“I think that makes every player better and that makes the team better in the end. That’s what a team like this needs. We are a great team together.

“Wayne is a great player and a great personality as well,” he said. “For me I can only say that it’s a pleasure to play with him every game."

"He [Mkhtaryan] just needs now to replicate this kind of performance in the Premier League. The Premier League is different – he needs one more step. Obviously now confidence levels are higher.

"This performance gives him the right to believe that he can play the next match again and he needs to replicate this kind of performance in the Premier League with more physicality and more aggression.

"He needs a little bit more of that but the quality – we know why we bought him, we know we were buying a player with a high level of technical quality.


"He is very intelligent and very bright, the way he reads the game, so good for him because the performance was good."

There's nothing to indicate he can play that role. His agent already told us that he prefers to play close to the opponent's goal. Is that the person you want to track back regularly? Please don't suggest that o. You will end up exposing Hererra or Carrick and that could be dangerous even against smaller teams.
Who cares about what his Agent says?! The most important thing is; what the Manager thinks of him and where he can play and excel! Is he with him at the training Ground?! Was he the one that discovered his talent and taught him how to play football?!

We need him to play the role he played in the last Match. We do not need him near the attacking Role anymore. He has played there and wasn't convincing.

We need a b2b. If Hererra becomes holding who takes up the b2b? Schleiderlin? Not sure about that guy o. Without the ball he could be useful marking and all but how intelligent is he with the ball? Not sure I can remember any brilliant pass from him since he joined United.
Pogba is available as our B2B Midfielder. He's not signed only to barb and dab! The Trio of Mata, Rooney and Mkhtaryan should enjoy the attacking Role with freedom to interchange and roam!

Hey man, what the heck is your problem? I asked if anyone noticed Martial wasn't listed, doesn't mean I'm complaining. Can't even comprehend how you'd see that as a complaint.

I even thought Mou was resting him for the weekend, or that he's been left out because of his recent underwhelming performances- which is deserved.


Don't try scoring cheap points off me with your generalized thinking.

I'm not your stereotyped man utd fan, get your head straight.


Thank you.

Carrick should be get a replacement asap. Those useless scouts should get us someone that can replace Carrick. I don't even get excited when I hear or read rumours about Griezeman. Can he dominate or control the midfield? No! He is the type that needs a system to operate. He needs those hard workers and runners around him. Do we have them in United? No! So what we need is to get someone energetic that can take control of the midfield first before we can get Grizeman if not our complaints won't end.

Next transfer window will be interesting. We are watching. Hopefully Carrick is able to play every game for us. Two important matches up next, playing Westham twice consecutively and they're both must win. All things being equal and a fit Carrick we will win both.
Jose Mourinho will make Carrick out of Herrera. Herrera is gradually adapting to the Role, and its unlikely for JM to sign any replacement.

Moreover..... we have Schleiderlin who can later come good as a backup. It's not over for him yet, he can still pick up!

"Honestly I don’t like it [playing Westham twice in four days], I never like it. It has happened to me many times in my career and it's something that I think is not good. But we have to just forget the second game and focus on the first one and go step by step."

"The reception [from the fans] he [Mkhtaryan] deserved because he played very well. Always improving, improving, improving, improving until the moment he was really tired and I felt it was the right moment to take him off and to let him come off with a very good performance. It was important for his confidence and he will try to keep adapting and trying to replicate this kind of quality performance in the Premier League which is a competition with different difficulties."

"Yeah I’m happy, this was a performance and a result. I was saying before the match, performance without result is not good but gives you a future. A bad performance with a good result is a happy moment but it’s just a happy moment, not a happy future. And this time they played very well again with goals and it's important for us because we always said since day one we want to do well in the Europa League. We were in a position of needing four points and now we need just one."

I'm kinda satisfied with the Lineup. It's good enough to win matches.

I also expect the trio of Mata, Mickey, Rooney to interchange positions.

[b]Hi everyone,

I have the feeling that I’ve already written this entry before. Or, at least, a very similar one. That frustration after the final whistle is not new, unfortunately. Against Arsenal we played yet another game where I’ve felt that we did everything, or almost everything, to win and two points slipped away. 

The whole team did a great effort, we had chances, we were solid defensively to keep such a good team like Arsenal away from our box, we were one goal ahead in the 89th minute… and we got a draw. It could have been a great weekend and it leaves a bad taste, but we must be positive. The way we played, the motivation, ambition and competitiveness that we showed, or the team’s personality are enough reasons to believe that sooner or later we are going to get the reward that we deserved. 

Sometimes the scores are difficult to take, but this draw is not going to stop us in our goal, which is to keep improving. There are still many games to play.

This new week we have two more games at Old Trafford and we want to transmit again to our fans all those things I’m talking about… It’s really a privilege to play for a crowd with so much passion who supports the team no matter what, both at home and away. 

Have a nice week.

Hugs,

“I myself questioned whether he [Juan Mata] fits the profile of a Manchester United wide player, because that’s where he is playing, even if I know he ends up drifting in.

“The ability to counterattack and have wing play has always been Manchester United’s way, so you wondered where he would fit in. I have to say that’s been one of the surprises out of the first few months in Jose Mourinho’s reign."

“It feels like we have been slapped 6-0. We completely dominated the game from start to finish. I thought even when they had a spell of possession they never really created anything to test us.

“I thought we defended well, created chances and it was just one of those things.

“They got one chance and scored. We have to pick ourselves up, we are pleased with the performance."
