"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." - Jose Mourinho Cc Leyqute |

Oasis007:Martial has nobody but himself to blame . he's been sulking since the season started, I don't know if it's because of his marital issue or because he lost the number 9, or both. Even though, those were problems that had solutions. |

What's all this 18months ish? Shut the blip off, stupid one. Your moanings Mr Moaningho are so boring. Save it for the manure fans seeking for relevance just as you. |

UniqueGem: Seriously I don't know what the problem is! He was a good revelation last Season, I was expecting him to pick up from where he stopped, but rather he dropped! LVG always talked of inconsistency. He said on many occasions that we shouldn't be expecting consistent performances from the likes of Martial, Rashford and Depay..... coz they are still developing. I believe with time - they all gonna come good! They are the future of the Club, and definitely under a good Manager who can transform them to world-class Players. It's not over for Martial yet, he's certainly gonna return back to the Martial we know as time goes by! |

What should we make of the Griezmann rumor? Scholes have been endorsing it all week & the man himself is not modest in voicing his desires. That will be some variety in attack surely? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:30am On Nov 26, 2016 |
SailorXY:I don't really know what role he'd bring to the team. His coming would cause the exit of Mata apparently cos I think they both got similar attributes. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Odunharry(m): 10:59am On Nov 26, 2016 |
chrisley024:Similar but one can play as Lone striker and good in the air too . Griezman will contribute more in a 442 formation. Doubt he's coming to United though. |

Oasis007: If you watch Pogba's touches, you will notice he isn't dominating the midfield per say. If he's not doing his unnecessary dribbling, he basically just recycling the ball until he chipped in some lofted passes to runners in the final third. No wonder he always look subdued whenever he comes against dominant midfield opposition. He also lacks the energy to play as box-box CM. That's why I nicknamed him a box-box cum attacking midfielder! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 11:46am On Nov 26, 2016 |
I don't know what you guys want anymore. pogba is playing well,his creating chances and his linking up well with our forwards. the only player am worried about right now is Ibra and na simply because of the chances he is not putting away. we're not PSG that will create chances upon chances every game. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 11:50am On Nov 26, 2016 |
patrickmuf: And that makes them useless! Because they should be creating chances for the forward! Although I never wanted Ibra, I think he's been essential to our play. He makes our play in the final third ticks! His movement, awareness, vision and linkup play has been fantastic. The only thing is he's quite sluggish and can be terrible in front of goal. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 11:56am On Nov 26, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: What exactly are you saying? Was he good against City, City B team in the cup game, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea? Emphatic No! The way he plays can be likened to an attacking midfielder due to the fact that he hardly dominate the midfield other than dinking in his lofted passes into the final third while the midfield dominance is often lost! Yet if you put him in the no 10 role, it makes him uncomfortable because he prefers starting his move from the deep midfield where there's lot of space for his long legs! Is this what we spent 90mil pounds on? 1 Like |

Odunharry: Where has Griesman played as a lone striker? That man feeds on his striking partner! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 12:04pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: We often have solid performances at OT, plus West Ham is low on confidence at the moment. They lost their last game by conceding 2 goals on the last 5 minutes or so. If we pile on the pressure they'll cave in 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 12:12pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
chrisley024:hmmm If Jose want him next summer tho I won't object, there's alway space for another good striker if we consider Zlatan's age & inexperience of Rashidi. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 12:17pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
Kagawa10:The one glorious chance against Liverpool came from who? Who played Herrera through before his pass to Mata. Who created Mata first shot on goal ? Against Gunner He has his bad days and I will talk sheet when he makes a mistake but This constant focus on the negative is tiring bro. Am tired of talking about the money;if it always comes down to the money you won't see any Value in his game. 3 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 12:17pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
Funlordjnr: He's at his best as a roaming play maker in a 3-man midfield, in the same way as Modric and Xavi! Which defensive midfield are you talking about again? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Odunharry(m): 12:18pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
Kagawa10:Can he or can he not play as Lone forward?! Mk Ibra retire and if united get Griezman, then it's Him and Rashidi upfront Pace and skill |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 12:24pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: Creating 1 or 2 chance in few games doesn't negate the fact he hardly dominate the midfield! Against Arsenal average midfield that lacked their playmaker, Cazorla for example, he did nothing apart from the 1-2 chance he put in! Same against Liverpool and as soon as Lallana came on, we were overrun. A teenage Aleix Garcia outclassed him in the City cup game and he looked like a teenage boy against Chelsea! Watch the way a prime Yaya consistently dominated the midfield with his box-box display. Is that not the player he's being compared to? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 12:28pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
Odunharry: Maybe if we incorporate Chelsea style but apart from that, I don't want that visionless man in my club! Besides, I would prefer we keep developing Martial. He doesn't have the movement of the likes of Lingard, Mata and Mkhi, even Griesman but he's got more potential! Martial is quite similar to Hazard. Both don't have the off the ball movement of a forward but has the unique ability of making things happen in a team as long as they are given the license to roam everywhere and be the team's talisman! That was what Van gaal afforded Matial last season! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 1:20pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
Kagawa10: A player is making the right pass (most times),creating chances and making runs from deep and you're saying he isn't dominating. If we had a few more wins this "not dominating"narrative go don die,because his stats sheet is fine. I understand why rivals turn a blind eye to the good and start screaming dabbing-dabbing why we dey help? I watch prime Yaya and if Pogba ever becomes that good I doubt you would see it,because prime Yaya had his detractors too. 5 Likes |

"I am a team player. I never think as an individual, I just want to think about the team. Of course I am getting the chance to play and I am so happy for that, but if one day I don’t play and the team wins I will be just as happy. I am a team player and I will think like that always. "I am playing sometimes a little bit more defensive and sometimes also a bit further forward. I think it’s good for me to be able to give some different options for the manager and the team. I am happy with my development but football has no memory so you have to perform every weekend and in every game. "In football I think the most difficult thing is to create chances. To be in the third part of the pitch and getting good shots away and we are doing that. So the most difficult thing is what we are doing, but now we have to score the chances, that’s what football is about. So of course we have to finish better." - Ander Herrera |

“We’ve deserved to win our last few games at home because we were the better team, but we didn’t come away with the wins, which was ddisappointing. “It’s an important game [against West Ham] to keep ourselves in the hunt. Winning would put us in a good position heading towards the Christmas period, where games come thick and fast – things can change a lot during that time. “It’s a very competitive league that changes constantly. We’re a bit of a distance away from the top but the team is in good shape and we’re playing well. “It’s good and I’m really happy for Phil after the injury he had. He was out for quite a while. To have him back and playing well makes me and the rest of the team very happy.” - Marcus Rojo |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Kagawa10: 2:21pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: Prime Yaya was quite dominant! His only weakness was in the CL but he was quite dominant in the EPL. All what Pogba has been doing is oscillating between the central midfield performance and attacking midfield. He plays as an attacking midfielder in the Central midfield. Neither Aleix Garcia nor Lallana nor Silva even created chances yet they outclassed the fraud! Until he has a dominant performance against better opposition midfield, I won't take him serious! Imagine comparing Pogba to Yaya. Maybe you need to watch some Yaya clips! 1 Like |
