Default Pogba & The Scottish Player

Just doesn’t work does it?

They’re desperate for a proper holding midfielder to sit behind them and allow them to get forward.

I’d honestly try Tuanzabe there.

Any decent midfielders available on a free transfer?

Pogba should play instead of Lingard and Garner should play deep alongside McT

Yep, did well enough at Villa to suggest its at least worth a try.

Yeah £#%&! it I’d be up for that.

It’s the one or the most worrying things for me that Ole thinks playing these two in a deep two will work. Both are much better further forward.

Cabaye. Marchisio. Rodwell.

Your call.

You sound surprised.

Midfield was always the issue going into the season and so it's proving to be.

It's definitely not working. Pogba needs more freedom. Might have to bring Matic back :/

I’m surprised that Ole is playing them in a midfield two tbh.

Both are more attacking midfielders and we looks so unbalanced. Also you’d want your best attacking player as close to the oppositions goal as possible, Pogba is completely wasted playing so deep.

I’d take Marchisio, don’t expect him to run just actually play football. £50m Fred doesn’t get in the squad ffs, he’ll be given away. I can’t believe Lingard gets minutes, let alone starts. He’s utter garbage at everything. Garner surely needs a start & for us to be playing 4-3-3... I can’t believe professional football people don’t see that’s the only way to get Pogba winning games for us.

For the sake of the system (and I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but), Matic should play DM and then Pogba and someone can be CM's who can push forward. (This other person should have been Herrera but Ed £#%&!ed up there)

That way you get Pogba higher up the pitch and you have a sheild for the defence.

Ruben Neves is the answer.

Shows once again what an awful signing Matic was. Mourinho totally unable to identify a young holding midfielder, so just poaches an old plodder from his previous club, lumbering us with another overpaid, over-the-hill geriatric to warm the bench until his contract is up.

I forgot about Fred.

Seriously.

Yep, no way can we sign another midfielder while Matic is still at the club.

Pogba has the quality but tries when he feels like it

The Scottish Player has no quality by tries hard.

It's called having a transfer budget, you thick turbo-posting @#%&!.

Your boy spent a combined £90m on the donkey Matic and £#%&!ing Fred.

With our zionist owners there's hardly a blank cheque book on signings. If Mourinho bought well, United wouldn't have to still be signing centre backs and midfielders, whilst wasting all summer trying to dump Lukaku and Sanchez.

Play Pogba up front ffs. Enough.

Don't worry about shipping the odd goal. Just try and score 3 every game and we'll be ok.

Think any midfielder would struggle with Pogba in a 2
Difficult to find balance

The Scottish Player had a great preseason but has reverted to type this season
Very slow and sideways in his passing

Think Ole will really regret not signing a top class DM

I’d honestly give The Scottish Player with Pogba and Fred either side in 3 a chance
Then slowly introduce Gomes into that

Yup.

Neves needs to be next in the door.

Still, if he has any ambition he would stay at Wolves...

We can better. Wolves cannot.

He'll leave soon enough, but it won't be to us.
