The Manchester United Thread

Put it this way, if we fall apart through not having Pogba for a few weeks then were really not good enough to win anything. Herrera can get a good few weeks in the team. Plus Jose seems to be getting the best out of Fellaini. Carrick can play every other week with Matic allowing Herrera to get further forward where he's a lot better IMO. Nothing to worry about.

Agree, should be able to grind results without Pogba. It's just that we'll lose a lot of creativity in midfield without Pogba. Herrera might be great on the ball but he's not the most creative guy, great at winning balls and tidy in possession.

Hoping for something like this

Swap Fellaini for Mky and keep Mata on the right or put Young on the right.
 
This will be a curse that will haunt me, but not been impressed by Everton at all this season, that 3 at the back system is just not suited for them imo.
 
so pogba out for up to six weeks,not good news and worse than i feared.Agree that we should be able to win games without him but obviously we would all rather have him fit

Nothings been confirmed yet mate the 6 weeks just started by the press guessing. Got a squad big enough to cope for that time even if true. Only Pool is a real tricky fixture in next six weeks.
 
absoultely bro thats why i said up to six weeks,mourinho confirming tomorrow apparently but a hamstring injury would suggest a month at least

And CSKA out there if you give them the chances you gave Basle Tuesday. They'll be a step up from them on their own patch and have already won out in Lisbon.

Koeman's madly intent on playing that way but doesn't have the right personnel right now.

Something else Blues hate him for. But then if Evertonians aren't narking about Everton they aren't happy so that's not much of a gauge of anything haha.

Will be tough game no doubt always is out there. Watched the game and Lisbon defence made ours against Stoke look world class. Will be tough but should get a result out there, even a draw ain't bad.
 
I wouldn't say I "hate' Fellaini or anyone in our team, that word just isn't right to use.

I have no doubt Fellaini or Young can play the odd game and be effective. But when we have aspirations for big trophies and you need them to fill in for sustained period of times with injury to Pogba now. That's when I'm a lot less confident.

Young is better going forwards than Valencia. Fellaini has actually been very good this season, i hate to say. More than just his goals, his link up and passing has been excellent. They will be just fine.
 
If we are on the front foot, and we are most games, I'd play Young at right back over Valencia. Because he can actually deliver from out wide

I guess the time shall judge on Fellaini - no doubt he has started this season welli, these next 6 or so games without Pogba are crucial, we have to pick up majority of points from them.

Let's not forget we have Herrera too.
 
As a life long pet owner and big animal lover, I LOVE this! Really made me smile.
