Good results all around us today with the Chavs having to settle for a point and both Spurs and Wolves losing. That makes it all the more important that we get a good result against Pep MKII and his stuttering gooners. Pogba can't be arsed to play again - (the sooner him and that toxic agent of his **** off the better as this never-ending transfer saga is set to rumble on each season) . McTominay is still out, so the midfield selection will be interesting otherwise we seem reasonably sorted at the back and up front.
It is rather sad that we are holding onto Pogba. I don't understand the game plan there. He has an agent that brazenly speaks so poorly as he lashes out. He's clearly pi$$ed with us for pulling out of Haarland deal. The fat pig wants to be kingpin and hold teams at ransom. I applaud Woodward this time around but he needs to get Pogba out asap and continue the rebuilding process with a positive addition to the team. Such a pathetic situation!
With him not playing again, with no mention of a fresh injury, does that signal he’s off in this window now?
That was the ****test half of football we have produced in quitea while, can't run, can't pass and no idea how to defend. I can only hope the New Year party justified the aftermath.
Can't understand why OGS didn't set up like he did at the Etihad. Surely he was too open in that first half and fell into the classic trap set by a new manager. Strange lack of passion and energy in the first half. Their 11 were highly motivated while ours looked like they wanted to be elsewhere.
That's a piss poor showing from the team and, specifically, the management. How can Ole not raise the team to attempt to close the gap on 4th to two points? Every time Chelsea drop points, we drop more, it's not good enough. Pogba needs to be sold for a start, but that alone won't do it, we need two CM's this window to stand any chance of competing. Our centre of midfield is embarrassing.
The Pogba saga has become too toxic for the good of the club. It doesn't matter how good he might be (whenever he fancies playing) - but when you have an agent slagging the club off in the media at every opportunity, that player has to go and the club have to have nothing more to do with the agent. Just because we wouldn't take on Haaland with the prospect of lining his pockets with a share of future spoils - the fat pig thinks he can take shots at the club. he and his mercenary player can both **** right off. Last night highlighted our midfield deficiencies and Ole needs to spend now because McTominay/Fred/Matic just aren't up to the job.
Another special mention for Lingard who must piss himself with laughter in private. He’s pulled off one of the all time great con jobs.
Strangest league for quite a while. The top 3 are clearly better than the rest. The other 17 are of the same strength and can and do beat each other. That's why they are so bunched up. A few wins take a team to top 5 or 6. Only one top 4 place potentially available to be fought over.
Be better to recall Alexis Sanchez than persist with this clown, surely? And how he gets in ahead of Mata is beyond me. I know our 'plan' is pace up front, and that Mata can't keep up, but then Lingard does not have the brain, work rate or talent to keep up either so you may as well pick the slow guy, who has all the other attributes. It's a ****ing joke that a player as ridiculously poor as Lingard gets anywhere near a Manchester United first eleven, ever. Let alone every ****ing week.
