Didn’t get to see the match, but a great result for us! Really glad to see Bruno finding himself among the goals already. Good signs for us.
sAWB looks awfully tired though. He needs rest.
Thanks for that. Yes, like you I've seen every game we have played for many many years. You're welcome to drool and idolise Pogba. Its your time and your life!He literally has always been since he got here. All you would have to do is watch any of our matches and see who the most influential attacking player in our team is. 9 times out of 10 its pogba.
If we could get most of our better players playing regularly, which we haven't been able to do this season, we would be a force. Fernandes looks to be a great addition.I can see why people are excited at the idea of Fernandes and Pogba playing together -if Pogba could ever be relied on to deliver the commitment to the team, which Fernandes already clearly seems to be doing with much more maturity and less ego, and he's only just arrived.
They could give us the kind of class in midfield to rival City.
Have to say, I can't see it happening - I think Pogba is just running down the clock to a summer departure, and not much to suggest he's looking to anyone's interests but his own.
Yes, we still look a little vulnerable at the back, still not convinced by Lindelof, to me Baillie would have been a better option, but as the guy has just come back from a really long lay off, I can understand. Expect him to play on Thursday. With McTominay replacing Matic, that will give us a bit more pace in midfield. James played OK today, but is still on a massive learning curve, so if everyone fit, would expect him to come off the bench most matches.Poor first half and was expecting Watford to score everytime they went close. James and Martials shooting shocking. After the pen and second half looked a lot better. A better midfielder with Bruno and we would look a completely different team. Good goal by Martial. Shaw deserves a mention as well. James is quick, but his end product is lacking.
James played better because he was back to his favourite position on left. Don't understand why Ole insisted tk waste him on right when he is clearly not cut out for that role.James look so much better today, still needs to do more though.
What are you on about? You asked when Pogba has ever been influential to the team and I said since he got here. What had that got to do with idolising. Its just basic facts and logicThanks for that.

Personally, I couldn't give a rats arse about Pogba anymore. Cant really think of a player who played for us that I detested more. Even prefer Tevez over him. I have never rated him as a top player, certainly done nothing consistently at our club to impress me, and I can't wait til he leaves our club. And as soon as Pogba does leave in the summer, I wont ever have to think about him ever again! Hurrah!!!
Pogba does not have a guaranteed spot, anymore. Our best midfield currently is: Bruno - Fred - McT (with Matic providing decent DMF when needed). If Pogba and his ego want to properly compete for their spot, they are most welcome to try it. But if they want to be the usual complaining divas, then he can feck off and we should use whatever money we get for him to buy couple of proper players who will actually help us through-out the season. He can go prove what he's worth (or not) somewhere else, for all I care.This.
Some want to make this about personalities rather than the team. Pogba will be vital in the run in. Champions league place to play for, FA and EL cups too. We’re going to need all our main men fighting fit
I don't agree that Pogba has had a sustained period of influence and so don't think its factual or based on logic.What are you on about? You asked when Pogba has ever been influential to the team and I said since he got here. What had that got to do with idolising. Its just basic facts and logic
Note to yourself: don't judge and leave a game before halftime? Do agree with most of what you said, however. We could have easily lost this game if not for Bruno, and then others got back in the game as well.My first post got rejected for formatting; i'll try again.
I nearly left at half time because;
- Fred was awful;
- Lindelöf looked like he'd never seen a ball;
- Maguire was playing hoof ball to somewhere or someone. James who was marked by someone taller;
- James was largely none existent;
- Martial couldn't score under ANY circumstances and looked uninterested;
- Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Matic and Greenwood were whatever;
- de Gea nice save, but wasn't great;
- Bruno was trying and looking good, he should have scored two.
It actually looked like Ole had lost the team.
Well your just wrong plain and simple.I don't agree that Pogba has had a sustained period of influence and so don't think its factual or based on logic.
Well I think you're just wrong plain and simple.Well your just wrong plain and simple.
Did you then remember that a football game lasts 90 minsMy first post got rejected for formatting; i'll try again.

The last sentence is mehI'm not keen on that, to be honest.
Why did we buy another player who is clearly comfortable on the left ?James played better because he was back to his favourite position on left. Don't understand why Ole insisted tk waste him on right when he is clearly not cut out for that role.
Still has to learn a lot though.

agreed. Don't like the reference to Ronaldo... It sounds desperate and small time to hanker after a player that left us and never wanted to come back. Needy as feck.I'm not keen on that, to be honest.
If you ignore the 16 goals and 11 assists last season and that he can't play when he's injured, he's probably right.What are you on about? You asked when Pogba has ever been influential to the team and I said since he got here. What had that got to do with idolising. Its just basic facts and logic
Resorting to spelling errors? Alright I know what kind of conversation you can holdWell I think you're just wrong plain and simple.
Seems as though we have a problem

We're miles ahead of any other team.
Because we got a bargain deal on a very promising youngsterWhy did we buy another player who is clearly comfortable on the left ?
Could not agree more. 2 months or so ago I did not want to see him play for United again, very happy to have been wrong.Agree with you that Shaw has really improved the last few games. Competition from Brandon has really spurred him on. We need that competition in all positions.
Dive? He plays the ball and is tripped by the goalkeeper. There is contact, and the rules dictates it's a penalty. No one complained about that.Awful blatant dive by Fernandes for the penalty.
Some of those are awarded to Daniel James. Its quick players who are tripped up in the box.What does that tell you?
You probably won't like hearing this but honestly feel we would only be able to fund moves to sign Grealish & Sancho (champions league permitting) by selling PogbaFirst half was a bit dodgy as Watford had a good plan to press at times and cause us trouble. Quality, though, is hard to beat and we have quality with Bruno. Ole made some nice adjustments having James play wider and Bruno more to the left.
I though Chung was a mascot when he was celebrating of the goals. Haha.
Picture this: If Pogba fits in well with Bruno, McT and Fred keep improving, and Ole uses 3 out of 4 wisely, we could go from having one of the weakest midfields to one of the best. The future is looking bright.
Great goal from Martial. Until then I was really frustrated with him. I was really pissed with his pass to Bruno on the left for an opportunity. How he plays that ball behind Bruno is beyond me.
When do we get to see our best 3 up front of Martial on the left, Ighalo at CF, and James or Greenwood on the right? I just hope Martial doesn't sulk when it's clearly best for the team.
Good game from Shaw, Fred and Lindelof. Matic looks like he might be tiring so it's good McT is ready to start Thursday.
