diademk07, afrodoc2 WHat do you think of this "He's a top player and I think he could be a phenomenal central defender," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "With the quality of his pass, with his aerial game, with his agility in such a big body, for his defensive side of the game, coming from the back with the ball, he would be a phenomenal central defender, too." http://www.squawka.com/news/paul-pogba-could-play-at-centre-back-says-jose-mourinho/809249 |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:55pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
raumdeuter: The question has never been Pogba's skill set but his application and mentality. Pogba would be a great PS4 player cos if u listed Pogba's talents in a vacuum it would be quite impressive i.e height, body balance, shot power e.t.c The boy is lazy and after spending years in the citadel of tactics serie A he is still tactically naive. Xavi, Pirlo, Scholes et al should sit down together and write a book and teach some of these rudderless midfielders. But wait o , is Mourinho saying he thinks Pogba would be the first 100m defender? lol |

Danhumprey: Some of you niggas are just funny! Who said he should be bought? Or did you not read that a LOAN DEAL would make sense? And why can't they fit into a middle 3? Can't herrera play at the base with yaya and pogba given license to roam? Won't yaya bring his set piece brilliance and add some additional passing range that ibra and rashford etc. can even benefit from? And by the way what are the strengths and abilities of "fellaini, bastian and schneiderlin"? And what end product have they been able to achieve for your team so far? Or are those their abilities so superb that mourinho has decided the best place for them to bring it to bare is on the bench or in the reserves? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Funlordjnr: 3:15pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
raumdeuter: What role has herrera been playing in midfield for weeks now? And what role can carrick also play in the base of midfield? So if carrick or herrera can ably cater to the defensive aspects of protecting the back four thereby granting pogba and yaya the licence to roam while also helping to defend when we lose possession then what was the point of your illogical post? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 3:53pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
raumdeuter: Probably tongue in cheek comment. Because those aint attributes that makes up a good defender, not to consider Pogba's poor positional discipline, intelligence and defensive work. Right now, Pogba is no different from a youth prodigy that just got promoted into the first team when you consider his little intelligence and his tendency to hug the ball too much. The one thing that annoys me so much is his laziness. That one can't be excused. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:55pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Mkhitaryan is fit. Fellaini reported fit. Jones, Eric and Rooney out. Rooney to undergo late fitness test. I told Mourinho to take it easy with Rooney's chronic back pain, but he was made to run like a teenager against Fernabache. Lol Phil Jones knew ligament.. We were told he would be back in October. This guy should stay fit for once. We have two players now with two knee ligament injury. Hope we are not back to our 'November injury curse? Since SAF left, our players get injured from October - December. By January, we would be praying for some to return to help us fight for top four. Mourinho told is his players don't get injured so much, so let's hope for the best. Valencia and Smalling must stay fit now. |

afrodoc2: Pogba was spoilt by the hardwork of te entire Juventus team When you have Vidal, Mandzukic Khedira, Marchisio Lichtsteiner and even Cuadrado ready and willing to slave away all day for you. Not to forget the do or die defenders then your asss will be covered Pogba is talented all he needs is application. Kroos too used to be a very lazy player who believed his skills will work for him for most of his time at Bayern but in Madrid he has really adjusted when he saw more talented bros like Modric doing water carrier job by your side and equally talented James and Isco taking dressing on the bench Pogba believes he is a star and maybe the dirty work are meant for less talented players |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by AdisaOwala: 4:17pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
afrodoc2: I think that's a typical Mourihno's response to Pogba (& his agent) for demanding a more attacking role not too long ago.. Maybe our manager is still disappointed with the Frenchman for flopping heavily in the #10 position. I just hope it wont spiral outta control |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 4:18pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Diademk07: Ok you think its tongue in cheek? No be so Mikel take start think say na tongue in cheek until he founf himself from AM to DM Or no be so Essien take land from box to box - to Defendesive midfield to Right back You don forget Etoo and co picking it from fullback at InterMilan Na from irregular laughing madness dey start |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 5:01pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
The EFL cup is unimportant, I hope Mourinho doesn't allow his bloated ego to get the better of him and he should attempt to play Schneirdelin, TFM, Darmian, Tuanzebe and Depay. These players deserve a chance. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 5:30pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
afrodoc2:talking about Schneiderlin what do you tho is the problem? I used to swear down he's a Mourinho type of player. I haven't seen a game where he featured this season but I'm really wondering if he's really that bad. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 5:41pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
SailorXY: Doesn't have the defensive awareness to play as a DM such as Wanyama nor enough ball skills to play as a box-box for a top club like ours. On another note, Mourinho should stop staying at a hotel. Let him get himself a house and bring his family to live with him in manchester. My marshmallow heart has started to pity the poor fecker and I can't afford to do that. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 5:51pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
SailorXY: Schneiderlin is not that terrible a player, just that he lacks discipline. Not tactical discipline as such but knowing when to tackle and when to shield, when to slide in and went to hold off. Then also he is way too limited in his passing. Having said all that i would have him ahead of Fellaini in the team. Herrera has impressed of late but he is not the long term solution. When we said Pogba for 100m was wasteful people did not understand. Imagine spending 100m on midfield and the midfield is still our problem. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Danhumprey: 5:51pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Funlordjnr:The bolded is what is my problem with having a midfield three of Yaya, Pogba and Herrera. You expect Herrera to shoulder the burden of the midfield defense and protection of the back four alone, while those two dogonyaros walk around the field lazily, refusing to help out in defense? We all know Yaya Toure and Pogba are lazy players defensively and with egos, and that's not what we need right now. We're still trying to fit in Pogba and you're suggesting Yaya Toure? Nigga, please. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 5:53pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Danhumprey: Lmao @ dogonyaro |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 5:57pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
All I care about is to see Mkhitaryan in the Lineup - whether fit or not! Also Schleiderlin should be given a chance to prove himself. He has spent too much time on the Bench, I pray he still thinks football! Jose Mourinho has said it all, only if the Press can get the meaning, on Pogba! That Dude will never play 10 for United again under JM. Finally, we do not need to loan or buy Toure, instead JM should recall Schweinsteiger back to the Team. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Danhumprey: 5:59pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Diademk07:@bolded, just what I wanted to say. It's clear that while at Soton, Wanyama was doing the dirty job, covering for his mistakes. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 6:12pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Schwein should be recalled! You can't keep earning so much for staying with Ana Inanovic 24/7. And funlordjnr, you say make we sign Yaya? The same guy wey dey use walking stick waka for pitch? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 6:17pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
I still don't think Pogba's poor performance as a 10 is as a result of not having hardworking players around him. It's mostly due to sluggishness. You can't be that ponderous in possession playing as a 10 in the Premier league. The Italian league is slower. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Fussbot: 6:28pm On Oct 26, 2016 |

Elxandre: Bros! Read my epistle again abeg! And which walking stick him dey use? No be beef make am dey chop bench? Yaya on loan would make sense? All these other bros dem just dey mumur without making ANY OPTIONS WHATSOEVER....yaya is a quality player, premier league champion, nations cup winner, champions league winner, player of the season etc.... And now because of club politics niggas dey spit blasphemy? I can't fit believe wetin I dey read for here sha!

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 6:45pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
afrodoc2:I believe a manager knows exactly what he is searching for in a player before making a move. You look @ Pogba in the market & Jose must have seen how he works in addition to having a honest plan of replicating such in his team, if not better it; before he made his move. I don't understand when people say stuff like, "the manager thought he was a winger..." megedefegede. Now I don't want to dabble into 'best position' debate but for the sake of opinions, I'll leave that to the manager. But for now form-wise, this - - - - - - - - Carrick - - - - - - - - - Herrera - - - - - - - Pogba - - will go a long way covering our asses & playing actual attacking football. There are a few eye for goals in there too in advanced positions. 4-3-3 almost flat sef, No. 10 no be by force! Carrick can't play many games so Morgan/Bastian can cop quality minutes. Mata/Mkhitaryan should share the right, Martial/Memphis should share the left. Of course there are variations in tactical approaches of this but these combos will bring better quality displays either pressing or counter-attacking. 1 Like |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 7:03pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Depay should be starting for R rAshford...Shit_ selection...once again, no mikitaryan(Waste of money) and Smalling got kicked...LMFAO
