The Manchester United Thread

City next week absolutely crucial but after that it's Bournemouth and West Brom. 2 teams without Pogba you'd expect us to beat.
 
Sounds ridiculous, but I have little faith in us without Pogba. He's THAT much of a gamechanger. He's the difference between our front 3/4 being fluent and wavy, or rigid and uninventive.

Hope I'm wrong, but I am not filled with enthusiasm.

He's very important but don't write us off, especially at home.

Herrera needs to step up and put in a performance like we know he's capable of.

What Herrera is best at doesn't fill what Pogba vacates. It'll be back to the walls, and hope for a few moments.

I hope we actually try to approach this game like we did against Chelsea last season at Old Trafford
Rather than sit back and invite pressure, press them and force them into errors.

Herrera is fantastic when you employ that kind of approach. City are used to having their own way on the ball. It's up to us not to allow it. If we just sit back and invite them on to us it won't work. We will lose.
 
Lingard's undroppable in those type of games. Works his socks off, and as Rio rightly points out, hurts teams in a way most modern day young footballers don't; sheer movement & work rate

Presses, runs, scores big goals, links up well with all attackers, and runs some more. Top squad player
 
Lingard has come on a level or two under Jose imo.

Three goals in his last two games which before that was more than he managed in his last 51 matches or somet crazy.
 
He brings so much to the team, that when he actually starts adding consistent output (which he is doing lately), he's gonna be a really dangerous little weapon to have.

What's amazing about him is the fact he'd happily finish his career as a United squad/rotation player; that's the type of lad we have here. Yet people moan when he signs a deal
 
Watching MOTD was absolutely brilliant counter football by us.

De Gea is on another planet tho.
 
Yup. There were a United fans who thought we would be sound with Romero if we sold De Gea to Madrid this summer.

He's the best keeper in the world, imo. He probably wins us double figure points (or very close to) per season.

His shot stopping is one of the best I've ever seen.

But yeah he is definitely no.1 gk for me and has been for a few seasons now.
 
Easily surpassed Neur now! And thought Lindelöf was great again tonight. A lot of fans starting to eat a huge slice of humble pie lately. His form since the from the 2 play offs against Italy till now has been top class. Showing his true Benfica form and Sweden form now.
 
Lindelof has looked good, but I'm not getting carried away. Just like I wasn't getting carried away by his mistakes.

Definitely looks much more comfortable in a 3 than a 2 though. Hopefully continues to settle in.

Rojo has looked like his time on the sidelines has forced Jose detox to wear off - showing signs of the rash player he was before he settled into a partnership with Jones/Jose smoothed off the rough edges. Hopefully just a sharpness thing.

Nothing seems to be going Arsenal's way today two penalties turned down and 3 goals from errors against them. Only thing in their favour was the sending off.

Koscienly should've gotten sent off instead of that yellow as Lukaku was the last man

Technically Lukaku shouldn't have been on the pitch; he should've had a red in the last match...

In any case, Koscielny's challenge was never a red, for three reasons: a) It was basically at the half-way line, so it was extremely far from goal, b) the ball was headed more towards the corner than the goal, so it wouldn't have been a straight run anyway, and c) Bellerin would've caught up easily, so it wasn't a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Bonus reason d) the ref took Lukaku's current form into consideration when making the decision... :D
