The rumours came up at some point

There were lots of rumors about him moving to Utd early in the TW. They reduced when his club said his asking price is 120m and were squashed when Atletico dropped the money for him.

TFM as CDM?!

How?

How?

Jez thinking out Loud.... Cos I want Pogba to play 10.

The earlier we abandon this 10 system the better for us.
No serious team plays with 10 anymore. 10 is an outdated position.
We need 3 CMs or 1 DM and 2 CM. That is the way to strengthen our midfield.
We get exposed easily partly due to this system.

Honestly I agree with you, but notwithstanding I want Pogba to play higher up.

TFM that spent the last 2-3yrs playing RB in different teams.
The best thing for him is to leave the club and save his own career. He needs to start afresh elsewhere. They have miseducated him enough.

He's still young nah, and possibly might be useful as a CDM. He's pacy, energetic and not poor at tackling ad well.

Today is UCL o, when is ManU kickoff time?

We should be thinking of systems that work for the whole team not just looking for a system that will make one particular player shine.

We can only succeed with 3 central midfielders. I just don’t think playing with a 10 will work.

If playing higher up means playing as a 10 then it won’t work. And if Pogba can’t fit into an orthodox 3 man midfield then it’s better we sell him for good money and get replacements who can fit in.

This is the age in which players need to be playing regularly in order to improve. If he keeps hanging around getting a few minutes here n there for the next 2 seasons his career will never take off.
He needs to leave and start playing regular footy. The club can put a buy back clause or something.

Higher up, more or less like freedom to roam and coordinate the Team's play - linking Defence to Attack without much Passes.

He's recovering well and I believe he will be ready before End of this Month. Perhaps OGS has him in the Plan, but definitely not as a RB in my Opinion.

That is a 10. He might shine individually but the team will suffer.

We need to control games better. We need 3 men in midfield to do that.

Doc.... Which Players you have in mind then? Presently in the Squad.

He has not played DM for years now, and even years ago when he did it was just a few games here and there.

When he starts making mistakes while learning on the job with us in games will you fans cut him some slack. Or will they turn on him like they did on people before him.

what it is line up tonight?



opps i don miss road
na thursday night people dem lane i dey

Oasis007:

For now I would play McTom at CDM.
Then Pogba at RCM with Fred at LCM
or Pereira at RCM with Pogba at LCM.

He can't walk into the first Team straightaway nah. He's gonna play few Matches with the U23 Team for full Recovery - perhaps as a DM (in my Opinion).

Oasis007:

He can play higher up as a box to box in a 4-1-2-3 as one of the 2s in the middle.

Ole needs to ditch this 4-2-3-1 nonsense

Pogba still appears in the Setup?! I thought you want him dropped for the 3CMs thing to work out?!

Who's gonna sit deep as DM?! McTom or Fred?!

Lol how can we drop our best player. As long as he is here we should try to utilize him for the good of the team.
I want him to play as part of 3 orthodox midfielders, not playing high up floating around and exposing the midfield and defence.

I am against using a 10 not against using Pogba.

TBH.... All I wanna see is how young Guns will fare against Astana on Thursday. If I check the Lineup and at least 2/3 ain't starting, then no need to burn my Data.

Greenwood, Gomes, Chong should all start. And I expect a couple others like Garner and Williams to be on the bench.

That is the way to show belief in youth while reducing the work load of the senior team.

Exactly my Point. OGS must prove that he genuinely has Confidence in those Academy Products.

TFM is not a RB. I don't know his best position but I believe he needs to leave the club to restart his career.

McTominay has been the DM for us this season and he has done a decent job at it.

For those shouting " Jordan Sancho will solve the right wing " The guy is playing on the left wing against Barca right now. He has Nothing serious to show for being fielded. He is also not worth the £100 million pounds being quoted by Dortmund.

Lesson: Every acquisition is a risk, That he is doing fine in bundesliga doesnt mean he will do well in EPL. Shikena.
