3 Man Central Midfield
Becoming clearer each week that this is what we need.
Pogba was such a disappointment tonight considering is recent form. Once again, he spends another big game, smelling his own farts, completely unaware of the size of the task at hand. He can't play in a two against quality opposition. Meanwhile, a 30 year old Matic - who isn't the quickest - is having to do two jobs. Factor in the poor management of never resting him and, low and behold, he looks knackered by February. We basically have two midfielders who are built for a 3 Man midfield, playing as a pair. As result, we have a Big weakness and both players are compromised. A better version of Herrera should be our no 1 priority this summer. It doesn't matter how much we ***** on the likes of Martial, Rom and Sanchez if the game is bypassing them. |

Pogba is a £#%&!ing @#%&!. He was given a job to do tonight - he didn't do it because he's a self-indulgent instagram slagheap. A £#%&!ing @#%&! of the highest order. Sick to death of pandering the formation to suit these tarts. £#%&! him. |

Play a 3 man midfield and I think you need a more rounded striker than Lukaku. Pogba is not a 10, in the same way that Rooney was never a 10, drawn to the ball too often, drifts into bad positions.
I already have concerns about how Sanchez and Pogba fit together, 2 guys who want to roam around. Causes all sorts of defensive instability. Don't think Sanchez is a 10 either but if you play him wide it automatically opens that side for the opposition to attack. Talented headache. |

It's not even pandering. It's simply playing him where he's best. He had a 3 at Juve. What he did there is why we signed him. Same with Matic. Doesn't play in a two. This is on the manager. If Pogba can't adapt.....then Mourinho has signed a 'difficult' player. |

Now Martial, Rashford or Lingard are going to be shunted to a more orthodox right sided role to allow Alexis the free role from the left. Superb. Best solution is probably to £#%&! Lukaku off and have Martial or Rashford through the middle tbh. |

Yep. Lukaku isn't good enough to do those basics either. Consistent performances like this in big games do nothing to allay the fears that we are a collection of individuals that don't work well together. How many players strengths do we play to? Lingard..... Anyone else? |

Matic and Pogba got humiliated by Dier and Dembele. Tripper and Ben Davies dominated the flanks, these are not super star players. I was never particularly enthused by Sanchez. Very talented but years of playing at Arsenal built the impression that he is a bit of a Diva, needs to be indulged. Already have ongoing discussion about his best role, exactly as at Arsenal. |

Pogba, much as I love him as a player, and Sanchez are problems, but not as much as £#%&!ing Lukaku. |

I don't buy this argument that the players aren't good enough. Trippier, Davies and Dier? No ta . But they excel in a better 'team'. |

*sadly btw, because despite my absolute £#%&!ing fuming tonight I really like Pogba a lot...& Sanchez looks a cracking little player. Lukaku however just isn't up to it. Nowhere near. It's all a bit of a mess really |

Yep, 4-3-3 allowing Pogba to push further up the pitch is the solution. |

Yes we got beat, and well in the end, but we responded well to the utter £#%&!up at the start, with a bit of luck, maybe we would have snaffled an equaliser, but alas we couldn't and got stuffed, we deserved SFA.
But this is only our third defeat of the season and I would not be surprised if it is our last UTFR. |
