Next week, he will bring in James and put VdB on the bench.

Solskjær: "The squad is good and of course it gives us options now. We have possibilities to play 4-3-3, diamond, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2 — it's execution and it's the principles and it's the work rate which is key here."

Solskjær: "Before the game, I said Anto [Martial] was going to take that penalty and that's it. If you look at the starting squad it was either Anto or Paul [Pogba] to take it and Paul was taken off."

Lai lai. He must stop helping disadvantaged kids because it is affecting his football. Martial who has scored 1 penalty and 1 own goal as well as gotten 1 red card this season must be secretly feeding kids too.

What a makanaki theory.

Goal 1: Fred wins ball for Pogba assist
Goal 2: Fred pass to Bruno for assist
Goal 3: Fred wins ball for Rashford goal
Goal 4: Fred pass to Martial who wins pen
Goal 5: Fred didn’t help at all... inconsistent from him if you ask me.

We are Manchester United, what do you expect?

In our last 4 games, it was only against Chelsea we didn't have a penalty.

I don't know what the boys are doing but they shouldn't stop.

Who knows if Ole taught them how to win penalties.

Our players are better suited for 4-4-2 diamond. I remember i stated this last week. 4-4-2 diamond allows us field a higher number of our good players IN THEIR BEST POSITIONS.

In 4-2-3-1 we don't have a good right wing forward so that is 1 position being used sub-optimally. Our left wing forward Rashford is more of a scorer than a natural creator so that is another position being used sub-optimally.
Then crucially our defence has less protection as the 3 forward players don't track back consistently . Our midfield also has less control.

With 4-4-2 you can actually field Pogba and Bruno together in their best positions and still have quality on the bench with VDB, Mata. You can play a true strike partnership with Rashford and Martial and still have quality on the bench with Cavani and Greenwood (all playing their natural positions).

The weakness is on the flanks as the full backs don't have much help and might face 2 v 1 situations more often than they would like.
True. I must admit I saw Pogba making effort to track back yesterday. It was even better with the introduction of McTominay as Fred took up the role of covering shaw whilst McTominay offered protection for Wan-Bissaka when Leipzig attacked from the wings.

It's the style of that makes our opponents commit unnecessary foul.. If Martial can up his game and stay consistent, mehn we will get more penalty.


You know why??

I know and have said it here in the past that Pogba and Matic in midfield is too slow and cause problems for our defence. The people criticising him know he gives his best for the team, they are just disappointed he doesn't have the skill of Pogba and the pass of Xavi..

Henderson, Fabihno and Keita don't have those skill set either but they make up with hard work and it paid off for Looserfools.

Pogba is the most talented Midfield in our team..

To say the least we've got 3 good creative midfielders in our than most EPL teams..

But the main thing is hard work which Mctominay and Fred offer almost a 100

Fred dey charge like Voltron. If the guy no take time i fit apply for card. But he needs to improve on his first touch and strength on the ball. There were a few times he struggled with the Leipzig press.

Don't you think he is too old to improve on that? I mean Lukaku couldn't improve his first touch after all these years.

Haba Fred's touch is much better. And analyzing his game it looks more like poor concentration to me. Often his 1st touch is actually quite good then his 2nd touch pushes the ball far and he has to stretch or slide. It is infuriating to watch sometimes.

Same thing with his passing. He is better at passing between the lines than McTom with his sharp passing but he is also more likely than McTom to misplace a simple sideways pass to an unmarked teammate.

In a 4-4-2 he has a natural position as a box box midfielder which makes use of his energy levels and tenacity. And he has to work on his shooting as well.

Definitely. He also needs a little gym work to be able to utilize his low center of gravity.

This team is maybe 1 or 2 players away from seriously challenging for titles. Probably 1 top class quick CB and a mobile CDM with passing range.
