Reserves v Arsenal (15.08.11)

Pogba vs Meade was a flipping good battle. Meade looks about 5 ft nothing but gave as good as he got against Pogba. Found that to be probably the best part of the night seeing them two go head to head

Agreed!

How did Gibson play? Surely he'll be finding another club before the end of the window as it looks as though he isn't going to feature in any plans.

Virtually anonymous. Which tbf to him was slightly better than Fletch.

I read that Fletch was decent but then that was on the official United site so it was probably bollocks

Meade is tiny, I'd give him 5ft 2 tops. Pogba looked like a giant in comparison..

It was a good battle, both players were on top at different stages of the game.

Decent is being kind.

He gave away the ball that that led directly to the 1st Arsenal goal, and didn't do much going forward either. Obviously I'm being a bit harsh on a guy, who is still struggling to find fitness, let alone form.

Nonsense. Fletcher had a good game and was a hell of a lot more involved than Gibson.

It was a one-sided battle though. Pogba was going past him for fun.

He ran rings around him in the first 45.

Pogba was less involved after half-time but that was mainly because Arsenal started dominating posession and he was feeding off scraps. Certainly don't remember him getting dominated by his fullback the way he was bossing him in the first half.

Wouldn't say he ran rings around him, their battle was very competitive especially as Meade isn't isn't a left back.
Obviously United scored coming down Meade's wing but defensively he wasn't and getting forward he pretty good as well.

And Pogba isn't a winger. Still got past Meade almost every time he tried. It was one way traffic in the first half.

Touche.

One way traffic in the first half but a game is for 90 minutes and in the second half Meade got into more it whilst Pogba kind of faded.

It's true that Pogba faded, I'll give you that.
