Luke Shaw is just a joy to watch, we need Valencia back or an upgrade on the RB together with a good RW to take us up a level...
Ibime, your point about 433 is absolutely spot on...Pogba connected the midfield and attack effortlessly today due to the presence of an extra man in midfield, Herrera (We need an upgrade on him though)

Special praise for L. Shaw. He's about the only full back we have. He knows when to pass and run, drawing the opponent and creating spaces for others as well as receiving the ball on the run and creating chances. If we have someone like that at RB we'll create more chances and score more goals.

Can you prove otherwise? or you are still living in 2016/2017? why do we clamour for the return of Pogba anytime he gets injured? Why did we fall apart as a Team when he got injured and was suspended? What are the improvements we all agreed he has made from last season? na him dabbing and hair cuts?
Since his return, have you won all your games

You just want to criticize and your criticism holds no water ,because if it did, Pogba won't be one of the highest passers in the league this season despite missing so many games

Bye
His criticism is very reasonable because in respect to Pogba's ability I can say he is underperforming.

Sideways passes? How many chances created?
Unnecessary long range shots instead of finding runs?

Yes, Ukaku has poor finishing/technical ability, that's why if we've someone that can score and ghost in behind defenders like Martial did against Tottenham, we wouldn't be much worried with Ukaku's poor finishing coz he'd more like a player to give defenders a torrid time while the SS scores.

honestly we won today, but we missed his presence up front. whenever he plays , the opponents defense seems to be always troubled and open.

Let me break this down. I have never ever criticized Pogba this season because when he plays well, we play well and I agree he has unbelievable abilities as a footballer.
But for him to develops into a top class player with consistent performances, he has to keep it SIMPLE!
Which means, no holding the ball longer than necessary forming machoman, no unnecessary flicks and leg overs.

We need a RW more for that right side, after which we can look at the RB and CM

There is a difference between talking about your worries and talking just because you want to talk, if he made that statement last season, no one would bat an eye, but saying something as ridiculous as that in a game were Pogba is easily a contender for man of the match is just annoying

Must we criticize every match day

Pogba will never amount to anything until he learns to keep it simple, take note of the word "until"

So explain to me this statement and how it says otherwise? if he wasn't talking about this match too he wouldn't use the word "until"
"Anything " is subjective. You should have ask him what he meant.
Full potentials in my opinion.
Pogba kept it simple in this game and someone says Pogba will never amount to anything until he learns to keep it simple, and una dey tell me say no be this match, He probably made that statement because he found fault in his performance today
Check his other post

slimghost:


I wasn't referring to today's game Just generally speaking. If and when he learns to keep it SIMPLE, he will turn into an excellent footballer.

Today we attacked that Everton RB, Holgate in a manner reminiscent of how Bayern use to attack the opposition LB couple of seasons ago with Robben, Muller and Lahm...
We had Pogba, Shaw, Lingard and other times, Martial attacking that Everton RW collectively, now that's what we want to see often...Mou had his team selection and tactics spot on...Way to go.

the truth is, Keeping it simple all the time is boring, I can't point to a midfielder as good and skillful as Pogba who keeps it simple to the end, As ridiculous as it sounds, those flicks and leg overs are what makes him who he is, It's necessary, it's what makes the game beautiful, it only gets bad when it becomes too much(something he did last season)

This season he has toned it down

Exactly. Ukaku is tall and huge and defenders' magnet. CBs will always try to mark him hard, so Mourinho can employ the Tottenham trick. While Ukaku keeps the defenders busy, and our wing-backs in a 3-man defence system patrol the wings regularly, one of the wing-forwards can then sneak regularly to do the Lord's work for us. While the defenders are focusing on Ukaku, Lingard, Martial and Co will sneak in and score.

I need Ukaku back ASAP. Ibra can stay injured, I no send am.

From this performance we can clearly see that Pogba is not a holding midfielder and has no business playing as part of a 2 holding midfielder in the 4-2-3-1 system.

Jose needs to come up with a system where Pogba can impose himself with his attacking capabilities. Also he is not a number 10. That is the 90 million puzzle that Jose has to solve.

You look at how expansive we played and the movement and you think Mkhitaryan will do even better in this set up...For me, it has every thing to do with our set up today...Take nothing away from Martial and Lingard
Eh...
I've seen Mkhitaryan flop when we're at our best. I've seen him flop at our worst.

Right now that guy can't do anything right.
Right now Lingard >> Mkhitaryan

But we don't have the players Na.

Until Mourinho starts deploying nice tactics before you see the qualities in the players.

as fantastic as Mata might be, we need an upgrade on him. our central midfield is dead. we thought Matic coming in will free Pogba to do damage, but Herrera regressed, even today he was pedestrian, we need a defensive leader. we also need a right winger in the mode of mahrez/Perisic. we also need a full back to support/ replace Valencia. so we need a lot of quality in the team, any injury to pogba or Matic, we are dead.

Herrera was very good today, he played some delightful passes...We only missed a real CF today cos they were a lot of balls fired into the box begging for a touch...
