Pogba needs rest I think, it seems he's been playing in every game since he joined. Ibra too seems to lack that sharpness. Just allow Rashford to play up top and bring on Martial.
...and we're playing almost our full-strength team. And what's happened to Shaw, he's turned into Navas. All he can do is run, just brainless running.
I think Pogba needs to be played in central midfield and Herrera as the attacking midfielder. Definitely agree we should put Rashford up front and put Martial on the LW. Shaw's first game back in yet another new starting 11. I'm surprised any of them know where the other is tbh.
On the plus side, Chavbus getting mullered 2-0 to West Ham. Someone show the video to our team after the game tonight
We actually have options up front. Martial, Rashford, Rooney.. He shouldn't be guaranteed starting place.
Ibrah made that goal from start to finish tbf. He also created atleast 2 more clear chances. What's letting him down is his finishing atm.
It's fine playing counter attack now that we're leading BUT at least leave 2 or 3 players up so we have options when we regain possession.
Pogba gets booked for winning the ball lol, ref has given ****y so many cheap freekicks. Should of won this game alot more comfortable then we have. Poor finishing from us.
Just about did enough but it's still all a bit rusty. Need to keep the same starting 11 for a few games to get the team gelling and some fluidity to our game. Plus points - defence looked solid, didn't allow City any clear cut chances or shot on goal. we don't need Fellaini
BTW Pogba is such a great player, he has strength, technique, touch. BUT he's trying too hard which means he's taking on too many players at times or trying to force a pass when he shouldn't be.... and he is definitely NOT an attacking midfielder.
