Pogba has been tried occasionally as a 10 before Bruno arrived, don't forget, he was just there.
the only formation Pogba has assurance is a 4-4-2 diamond or 4-2-3-1 off the left and one of the DM.
perhaps Ole trust will trust one DM and play double AMs soon.

I am looking at the quality of forwards we have...Ronaldo, Greenwood, Cavani and Rashford make a lot of runs and are quite mobile meaning Bruno will not be needed very close to the opponent box rather a player who can spot a pass and execute it from midfield and that's where Pogba comes in.

I just can't see Pogba and Bruno playing together with either of McFred as we will be left exposed in that DM position that's why I rather have McFred against top teams.

Against weaker teams, Pogba and Bruno with McTom or Fred at the base should do...

In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how Bruno adjust to the presence of Ronaldo in the team.

One thing is certain, when all out players are fit, we'd have a lot of options on the bench...In the long run and with Ronaldo, I feel Ole will have to decide which of Pogba or Bruno starts just the same way he will have a decision to make between AWB and Dalot.

If Ronaldo is the point man which I expect him to be, then we might need Pogba ahead of Bruno and Dalot ahead of AWB that means McFred must start.

A.

............................... De Gea..................................

AWB............ Varane.....Maguire........Shaw........

............................ McTominay.............................

...................Bruno................Pogba..........................

Sancho................ Ronaldo..................Rashford

B...

............................... De Gea..................................

Dalot............ Varane.....Maguire........Shaw........

................ .... McTominay......Fred........................

...................................Pogba................................

Greenwood ................ Ronaldo.............Rashford

C...

............................... De Gea..................................

............ Varane.....Lindelof........Maguire........

Dalot.................McTom.....Pogba.................Shaw

.................................Bruno....................................

...........Greenwood ........Ronaldo.........................

I prefer C against top teams and B against weaker teams...

Train for what na? Make I hear say I do any hard job on a day I'm supposed to leave for greener pastures...

Oasis007:
Iheanacho is a fine Striker. 2nd Goal was classic. Nice control, spiced up with nice angle.

How are you watching that match with such poor visual quality?

Havertz10:
All this fanfare over an old man, i'm not an ageist but nobody is really bothered about Ronaldo

Ronaldo is 37, it's poetic that it's in the premier league, that he scored the least amount of goals in his career that he wants to come and play his no pace football, they will retire him quick

Ronaldo will be underwhelming at united, the excitement among united fans is a good case study of why unread people shouldn't have voting rights

Have you sat down to look at the coach, team dynamics and plotted a path that will lead to full utilization of a Ronaldo with no pace in a fast paced league, you don't have a holding midfielder, errors everywhere too many to mention

He wouldn't score more than 20 league goals and 8 will be penalties

Still, he'll outscore Havertz...

Cavani try o! He is a big player in his own right so to relinquish the No. 7 no be beans...

TheLequte:
It’s not impossible to win without that kinda player(s), it’s just way harder to do than if you have them , especially when your competitors have them in their squad.

List the top 5 EPL teams and tell me how many of them don’t have a player who is comfortable at bringing the ball out from the back or providing cover for the back 4.

Ole simply doesn't think we need a DM. How much did Hojbjerg or Ndidi cost Tottenham and Leicester City respectively? I guess not more than we paid to sign VDB. If Ole wanted a DM, we would have gotten one...

It's one thing for us to be asking for a DM but it's another thing for the Ole to see the need for one and it's his decision that counts.

TheLequte:
Ole is also making use of what he has at the back. There isn’t enough midfield options to conclude that he fvcked things up there.

Didn’t you see Fred eating grass on Sunday after being so easily bypassed endlessly by opponents?

Why are we having this discussion?

Are you saying that without a DM we can't win with this squad?

NB: I am not saying a DM isn't important but right now, we have to face reality...I think we can still win with the players we have...

TheLequte:
I mentioned Bakayoko you’re talking about Rudiger. Is Rudiger a flight risk as Bakayoko is?

Bakayoko played during preseason. Why did he send him on loan?

He has other options that's why he sent him on loan. At the back, he made use of what he had available...

TheLequte:
Why isn’t Tuchel managing Bakayoko in midfield? You think it’s easy to manage a player who is keen on passing to an opponent in a dangerous area?

Tuchel is managing Rudiger...Remember when we used to troll Rudiger by saying he wears timberland shoes? What has changed? In fact, what new addition did Tuchel add to that Chelsea defense that was leaking goals?

Tuchel has found a system that hides their deficiencies in defense. Ole should work out something for our midfield, let him earn his pay.

This new trick will come back to bite those who are playing it in both parties in the near future...

Ward Chairman suspending the National Chairman? Only in Nigeria...

afrodoc2:
Then offload Jones and Bailly and make Mengi the 4th choice instead of making him loaf around and waste 1yr of development. The guy was playing Under-23 2 seasons ago. What he needs right now is game time and preferably learning from his mistakes in a lower profile environment.

Correction: Jones and Bailly are my senior colleagues. Even i don't have that much hospital experience.

afrodoc2:
Why didn't the club allow Mengi go back on loan? What does he stand to gain by being the 5th choice CB?

Jones and Bailly are your professional colleagues na...I feel the club put that into perspective knowing too well that if any of Maguire or Varane is unavailable, we only have Lindelof as an option.

TheLequte:
You realize that Ole can have a good DM and still stink up the place right?

He’s the king of blindness and wrong decisions.

We just want a good DM so that the next capable coach won’t suffer needlessly. Imagine Tuchel inheriting Bakayoko in midfield instead of Kante.

Tuchel inherited a finished Rudiger, underperforming Havertz, an aging Azpi, old man Tiago Silva.

As much as I want us to sign a DM, I feel this squad can still challenge for titles. Na Ole dey make us crave for DM because a competent coach will set us up to mask the deficiencies we have in the midfield...

The Taliban will trade them off...China and Russia will gladly get them especially China.

melodyogonna:
Na lie sha. We played badly in the last two matches for some reason, but Ole's team has been the most entertaining since Ferguson retired.

What is my business with how we played under Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho? Ole was brought in to out do those guys in every department. We obviously don't hold the coaching staff and players to the same standards that's why you might be satisfied with Ole or continue believing in his ability going forward...

JayKayMaybachz:
Bros.. It's the same pattern. Just that of our players lack the skill set and discipline to execute this play pattern. Like you mentioned we had 'em players who executed this style of footy for Alex with finesse . Ole is trying to get' em do that..

Discipline? Yes but then it's on the manager to enforce it...

Skill set? I think our present crop have the skill set too. I am just waiting to see the impact Ronaldo will have on the team...

slimghost:
Pep plays Ferran as a striker and wins games. Klopp plays midfielders as CBs and wins games. Tuchel used ‘useless players’ to win the UCL and to play good football.
But hey, we have no football identity because Ole doesn’t have a DM.
I will start cursing like Nani soon here. ��

Abeg no curse o!

It's painful watching us play. We make many world class players look average in our set up...

JayKayMaybachz:
What was SAF pattern of footy?

Quick transition from defense to attack. We bought players who suited this style and played it to near perfection...I never saw Manchester United so poor in possession and uncoordinated in their approach...

I am looking at Ole's Manchester United and I am struggling to see what he is trying to do here. He talks like he understands the problem but on the pitch, nothing suggest he knows how to fix it. For instance, he has spoken about our pressing but during games, you don't see the team pressing as a unit...

JayKayMaybachz:
Can I ask you a question..??

No qualms...

slimghost:
Reasonably? No, he has been fully backed! He said it himself. Enough of the excuses.

Abi o!

No team is complete from defence to attack, there's always a weak spot so, Ole has no excuse. We have a back 4 that can rival any team in the league, a midfield 2 that are good enough to start for any team in the league, the only concern is the DM position where Ole is expected to earn his stripes by setting us up in a way to cover for that deficiency. In attack, we can hold our own against any team in the league.

Excuses? Ole has none...

slimghost:
“Go out there and have fun”

He has been talking about a DM that fits Ole's pattern like Ole even has a pattern.

Anybody thinking of using the DM as an excuse for Ole should just kill that thought.

Ole has been reasonably supported in the transfer market, he simply has no excuse not to deliver the goods...

Griffon:
Anytime you smoke SK no come our rivals thread to type, till you don dey normal.

JayKayMaybachz:
DvD might leave next summer.. He wasn't Ole's ideal CM.. The Glazers made the signing considering the price was okay and the relationship with Vander Sar.. Ole's choice was Grealish but Aston Villa priced him out.. They Glazer's won't sanction the deal.. So they compensated us with DvD. If you notice, he doesn't really fit into Ole's pattern of footy. He loves risk takers like Bruno, Pogba et al. So here's where Bellingham comes in.. Remember, Ole wanted to sign before he chose Dortmund same with Haaland. Bookmark this page.. Utd will get 'em both. Pogba will renew his contract too

What’s Ole's pattern of football?

MrColdsweat:
Oga you're becoming a nuisance on this forum.

You're right.

KingAlabi:
Chong agreed a deal and still went for preseason training and featured in preseason matches, die the talk biko. E no make sense. Na training e wound not a match.

Manchester United had the discretion at that point as most first team players were unavailable.
For Amad, it will hurt his development sitting on the bench that why I am not happy.

Oasis007:
Deal has not been agreed yet, or did United announce it officially before the injury?

Feyenoord only opted out when he was confirmed injured.

Oasis007:
Let's dead this Argument Bro. Grealish was still training with Aston Villa, even after he has agreed personal Terms with Man City and certainly knew he's leaving the Club.

Agreeing personal terms is not the same thing as agreeing with a club. So many clubs first agree personal terms with the player just like we did we Sancho last season, the main thing is to agree a deal with the selling club.

Oasis007:
Did Nelson stop training at Arsenal afte he receives the offer?

Receive offers and having a deal agreed is it the same thing?
