PietroRico:
1st match of the season, sinizia don dey remind us of how he warn all of us and Woodward against buying Pogba but Woodward no listen.

I'm sure when Woodward sees it he will learn and not make the same mistake of not listening to him

sinizia:


Pogba's nonchalant, lackadaisical and showboating attitude is his greatest demerits and the reason I never wanted him. Second season is about to start and he's the same ol' limelight-craving teenager. There's is a reason why I'd always want players like Matuidi or hardly criticise a player like Roy Keane. I hate showboating with passion and these serious aforementioned players don't have it. It's the reason why I love Hererra.

I'll continue to reiterate that until he realises that doing simple things and helping his team-mates is the best to fulfil potential, he'll end up another bundle of talent that never got to live up to his hype.

Fabregas at his age was already a midfield kingpin, passing opponents out of the park and sharing assists like say na national cake. He did all those things without the unnecessary baggage of showmanship.

You can choose to always protect Pogba all you want, I won't. I'll criticise him and praise him as well. Sugarcoating words coz he costs us 89m ain't my style.

ToyinDipo:

Awareness to pickup pass or position or opponent's presence what?
His movement off or on the ball?

diadem10:


Off the ball movement and spatial awareness (where to be, whom to pick) i.e, the ability to see space where there seems to be none and exploit such space to your taste (basically the ability to picture the field of play and craft it to your taste). I can go on and on.

Pogba has none of this. In fact, such attributes are innate.. Can never be taught.

ToyinDipo:

Off the ball movement - if he is the best passer, do balls locate him in space, or does he pass into spaces as well
I can also count a number last ditch tackle he made yesterday, on the defensive side, even though that's not his primary role
Sorry, but I don't see any point in this

SIRcumalot:

none of those teams are of the same caliber as the Madrid side,they certainly can't pass the ball like that,that was what couldn't deal with it.
We threw the Arsenal game because of the Europa.
We've a much better squad than last year so we suppose dey alright.
No coach fit change the outcome of that yesterday match. Our team is not there yet in comparison to the big guys for Europe.

TopWinner:
The commentator mentioned one of Jose's major problems: ending matches with a tactic, instead of starting with one.

I sense the need to particularly point out the fact that Paul Pogba is still showboating and making the simplest things difficult (don't know why he keeps doing this). This is his second season already, and if he'll not wear a serious attitude towards games, he'll end up as a grossly under-utilized talent. I don't want to do this but I have to mention the fact that he cost(s) us a lot and should be providing assists and goals on a regular basis - not one match in, 3 matches out. I hope he picks up his non-chalant self and starts delivering in no time.

Boy, was Matic not a beauty to watch? Totally proved me wrong. My opinion about the Big Serb changed after I saw what he did last night, holding up play, launching near-perfect tackles and making important passes (and the strike that led to the goal). What a bargain he'd prove to be as the season rolls along!

Overall, it was a fair contest for our beloved club
We played against the best midfield in the world and did well at it.

We move to Sunday!

elampiro:
The major problem yesterday was allowing Isco to play.

The second major problem is not trying to win the ball back through direct tackles.

im i the only one yet to get the joke

Club banger!

We have Cheski, Liverpool, Manxity, Tottenham to play in the league. These are the top teams in the league. Are you saying we should use the same fearful tactics against them?

I see everything as a reflection of Mou's mentality. Once hes afraid of a team he'll go defensive and cripple his attack. If not, he'll come out gun-blazing.

Shame, he was afraid of Arsenal towards the end of last season.

Seems he doesn't know what he's got. Imagine Ferguson or any other sensible manager was the coach yesternight. How would he set up the team?

Perpetual wailers.

Long may the gnashing of teeth continue.

Spits on thread.

GloryIsaac:


With what happened yesterday and Mous post-match comments, we're def gon' park buses and trailers against the big teams (i mean from 1st to 12th) ...... expect 3 points from 13th below... the others are most likely gon' be soups and losses...

I wonder why some united fans aint seeing how terrible we played...

funlord:


I am really sick and tired of smalling and lingaard! How the club thinks we can go anywhere with such players in the squad amazes me! We have ended our interest in both bale and perisic and dortmund have put a price on dembele....we and barca are the only ones interested...even if it would cost $90m let us blow barca out of the water....our wing play is dead......martial can't be relied on YET and needs competition

bencrane:
our teams equad is bad

l suggest we send lindagard onloan
martial on loan
blind sell
pogba even with the price tag need lot, I mean lots of orientation
lukaku mikitarynh Radford forward
hererra no midfielder that's the problem
defence Valencia bailly rogo shaw which team fit break this defence.LTS solid

bigkesh:
The whole fan base turning on Pietrorice and his MCM



Modric,Kroos and Isco are weyreys,see as them useless the basketball midfield

6'ft FC

ChristineC:
