d.on is not the solution to our midfield problems, but it would certainly help.... given the quality of the players available... if we played three.

I was with him until he said we look ‘naive’. Nobody looks more naive than him at times.

Frankly, I don’t want to hear a single word from any of them. Sick of the apologies and promises of improvement that never come. Don’t spout shit about the United way, bouncing back and then be THAT casual for that first goal.

They’re not even good platitudes.

“Not the result we wanted”

Yeah, no shit!

At least he damning of it “totally unacceptable” would be more like it.

Klopp came out after their win today and talked about how sloppy they were at 1-0 up and how they let Watford back into the game. They won 5-0.

Pogba was a £#%&!ing disgrace today. Lost track of how many times he dawdled about and smashed an attempted Hollywood pass into Tielemans a yard away. Think he’s still stood on the halfway line after the kick off that led to Leicester’s 3rd goal :£#%&!er:

Bruno was also utterly shite. No sense of control or any sort of calmness to his game at all. He doesn’t have to either give it away or produce the best pass of all time every time he touches the ball ffs.

Picking Maguire was the stupidest decision though, he even admitted it was a risk before the game. You’ve got 3 fit CB’s, why not play 2 of them ffs. Stupid.

Pogba is a moron. He’s got no right coming out and talking about what we should be doing when he has zero awareness of what’s going on around him and always has one foot out the door. £#%&! him, he’s bad enough when we’re good.

Bruno is frustrating. Always has been. If he isn’t scoring and the team isn’t playing well, it’s magnified.

I’m tired of singling out individuals though. It’s the same every week. Most of them are below par every game and we don’t look anything like a team. That’s bigger than individual problems.

Pogba has always been like that… when has he played a great game (except the 3-2 at City)

Bruno is 100% a flat track bully IMHO

Bruno needs to realise that doing the right, simple thing more often will make him an even better player.

Or, he’s actually a deep lying CF and should be playing as one of a split front 2 in a 4-4-2.

And even that is being generous.

He needs a coach to reign him in then. No good watching him him blooter the ball into the stands or trying silly passes when they're not on. He needs a coach to £#%&!ing instruct him when to do that and who to look for.

Again, it's all "make it up as you go lads". The only players who seem to know where they should be in our team are the back 4. The rest it appears are given freedom to just do whatever they want.

You can have 1 or 2 at the most doing that. But you can't have the entire front 5 just bombing around playing within themselves. It's a recipe for disaster.

said this a few weeks ago.

one the dust settles on the obvious deficiencies in midfield and we fix them our next issue will be his wastefulness and how he fits in the team.

We could be just keeping possession and he gets the ball and does his best Gerard impression with a attempted first time Hollywood ball. Not every time play at 100 miles per hour.

I’d go as far to say it was his worst performance for us. Utterly terrible. And if he wasn’t fit, then that’s on Ole.

I reckon he’s simply just asked him if feels ok to play and Maguire, being a good pro, has just said yes.

Thread.

A lot of truth in all of that.

He needs to £#%&! Pogba off, just drop the @#%&!. He can’t, of course, his paymasters want him to sign a new deal, he’s not going to do that if he’s in the bench.

So you think ‘United’ signed Ronaldo or Ole did? I
think it’s probably the former.

Watching MOTD - that 3rd goal FFS

Hasn't trained in 3 weeks, thrown back into a game where he's going to be pressed and harried all game. Not a smart idea in retrospect

Speaks to our shocking options in that department more than anything else tbh. Bailly would have probably been just as bad.

Just watched the highlights on Motd thinking maybe there was an over-reaction while the match was actually on.

£#%&!ing hell, we were actually worse than I thought.

Utterly depressing that today. Even at 1-0 up we concede with a mistake and you knew it would come. And we continued to be sloppy throughout the second half and it’s actually standard now isn’t it? In fact, Rashford’s goal aside, that second half was as bad as it gets.

I’ll never slag ole because I love him but he’s not gonna get a tune out of this squad

With a midfield of Matic and Pogba infront of him…

Pogba will be back on the left wing next week getting in the way of Sancho - whose showing signs of playing his way into form.
