The Manchester United Thread

Fun match. Typical big game Pogba. Both managers happy with the point I'd imagine.
 
Zlatan spot on. Our game plan first half was shocking and played into Pools hands. Going direct should of been the plan from the start. Fair play to Mou for realising this!
 
One of our worst games recently I think, point is ok but I honestly thought we could of exposed their defence more than we did today. Martial was hugely disappointing against that kid. Would of liked to see Rashford have a run at them but Fellaini did have an impact.

To be fair, I lost count how many times 'Pool had 2-3 men on him out wide everytime he received the ball.

Like Zlatan said we played into there hands first 60 mins trying to build from the back. And giving Pool a chance to stop us getting at there defence with there press. After Fellaini came on it was a different game. Would of left Martial on tbh. He was getting triple mark most game. Would not of bought Rooney on, Rashford was the man.
 
One thing for sure we need to get our LFB back in Shaw. Darmian did good defensively but offers nothing in attack. And our CM is seriously is lacking in quality! Special mention for Herrera he was a lone CM today and was fantastic I thought. Carrick looked like he played to many games of late and his importance, didn't get any help from Pogba today! We need quality and depth in CM area. And Jones looked very nervous under the press today, but was solid. Bailly and Rojo should be our starting CB partnership. Need to start being more clinical with our chances!
 
Rojo turning into a top CM under Mourinho. Composed as not as rash in his decision making. Looks calm and no problem playing out from the back and controlling the ball under pressure. Credit to Mourinho for willing to adapt tactics at HT. under rated as a tactician on here!

Fair result I think. We were the better team for most parts, and were lucky that Pogba didn't get sent off and the Linesman missed a clear offside.

Can't wait for Scouse to come and moan though ;)

He isn't turning into a top central defender. The system makes it seem so.
 
Today he didn't do much wrong, however his strengths lie on the ball. Centre backs are the hardest position to recruit. You get wild variation in statistical analysis due to the different systems. Many look incredible in some systems and struggle in others. Look at Gary Cahill at Chelsea.

Due in no small part to Southampton completely blowing their lines the first game, you will most assuredly see us February 26 for a third time this year my friend.

Only 1 down going back to that arl place I have little doubt about that.

Didn't even mean it like that, Hull aren't 100% out of our tie either. Football's a funny ole' game. Even though I fully expect us both to make it, no certainties in life barring death.

Well I'm gonna' be out of pocket £25 on train tickets if L'pool don't.

Virgin train sales are just the best!
 
Amazing how people go silent on Pogba for months, then suddenly crow again after one bad game (let's ignore the fact he was excellent vs both Arsenal and Spurs).

Poor 1st half plan, much better 2nd. Draw a fair result, much like the first time round.

Don't the club subsidie your trains? They subsidise virgin at Arsenal for away games. You should check on the club website.
