Jose says Martial must play on this right grin


In that case, we should prepare for life after Martial

Good all around performance, but when facing bus-parking teams like this Valencia and Shaw must show more attacking drive and creativity.

Thank God you saw it. I don't want to be too critical. but Valencia was shit today.

Mata and his constant movement, created the first goal from the left and the second goal from the right. Terrific player.

Sanchez is just quality, Jose has got to find a way to blend in Pogba, Sanchez, Martial and Lukaku...

After the substitution, I expected Rashford to man the RW but Mourinho shunted Martial to the right again, I don't get why.

Mata is a tidy footballer, uses his brain more. He was very well involved in our goals.

Mourinho should try the 442 Funlörd suggested. Martial or Rashford on LW, Lingard or Mata on RW, Pogba pushed forward while Matic mops up from DM. If we can press as hard as City, we don't have to lose possession and get caught on the counter. Pogba needs to work hard like KDB as well for this formation to work. But if Mourinho wants to continue like this, then Martial has to be benched or learn the RW role coz Sanchez is best from the LW from where he roves.

Good performance all round. McTom displayed maturity throughout. He provided a balance between attack and defense.

And why didn't Huddersfield get at least one red card today? It seems their defensive tactics was to kick anything that has any form of semblance with Alexis Sanchez.

I feel Mourinho asked the defenders not to push forward too much, at some point, I was screaming at Smalling and Rojo to push up as they had acres of space in front of them.

Well, the best tactic is to find the right balance. Push attack but run back like Sanchez or Lingard to win balls back. But if keep cultivating the attitude of just defending against top teams, we've no chance of winning most of the time.

Blame the ref. He was never quick to flash the card at Huddersfield players who were out to hack us down. If na Pep na, he'd have been complaining about referees protecting players, I think he's right sha.

4-4-2 is easily 4-2-3-1 especially with a player like Sanchez involved.
Sanchez can comfortably play as SS/AM flanked by Martial and Mata who I'd have over Lingard for his ability to drift across the pitch and be part of our build up play. But all this depends on Pogba putting in a shift at the middle as you suggested.

Most definitely, with the quality in our ranks, we should be approaching games against top teams with a positive mentality.

Jose needs to find that blend. Pogba should not be playing in a middle 2. Thats a complete waste especially against the better teams or away from home. 433 has to be the way forward.


Also, no point asking Fellaini to sign a new deal. McTominay will take his place easily. Plus fellaini is already 30 yrs old. Let him go.

Sanchez is definitely a great addition to the squad. Obviously a no brainer but the guy na baller. Onward and upwards.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 6:36pm On Feb 03, 2018
This no even need to be conundrum. Play Sanchez as CAM, let martial remain on the left. Then make Mata and all the others fight for right.
Rashford can continue to get cameo appearances on that left till he fully sorts himself out
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by obainojazz(m): 6:41pm On Feb 03, 2018
My preferred formation would be 433...pogba matic and mctommy should man that midfield, Sanchez lukaku and martial up front. Lukaku is out of the sunken place.

Would be pretty neat if Martial adapts to playing on the right and becomes as effective as he is on the left. Important clean sheet tho.


How, nothing beats natural. No matter how long he trains in the RW position, he can never be as good as on the left. Sanchez would better be moved to the SS position because forcing Tony to play on the Right would most likely not go down well with him. Only a matter of time before suitors who are ready to play him in his best position start showing their ugly faces.

Good win though. GGMU.

hmmm.. with the way Wenger and Arsenal have been spending.. If they vex enter market for some top quality midfielders and defenders.. it might be a 2 way between dem and city next season. Their attacking game is Barcelonaesque as we all know.

Gbam!! If Pogba can just forget about pushing forward to attack all the time in a 4231 formation, and allow Martial, Lingard, Sanchez and Ukaku to chase down opposition players while him and Matic pick up the pieces snuff out impending danger, 4231 will serve us best. Like a football columnist pointed out, against Tottenham he's stuck on deciding if he's to attack or defend thereby leaving us exposed. He needs to apply the brakes on his attacking zeal against top teams when we're being dominated. Mctominay did today exactly what Pogba needs to be doing. Against small teams, he can dominate and join in attack but against top teams, he needs to help out his partner Matic. This way we won't be spending big on another midfielder to partner Matic coz if Pogba is moved to the AM position, it means Martial would be benched and I hate that.

But we still need one or two midfielders to replace Carrick and Fellaini, though.

Mou would be a fool not to go to market next season & nobody should give me the excuse of extending Fellaini's contract cos that was an avenue to bring 2 new quality midfielders (Carrick & Fellaini)....forget Everton being dull this season, this new attacking prowess of Ass.nal is too too deadly so Mou knows what to do

I dey tell you. For all the talk of Arsenal being shitty at the back they are beginning to show ambition and an Arsenal that's showing Ambition with their spending on new players and contract renewals is not good for us in a league that's already too difficult for us to win with our scared football in the big games.
