I think Ole & the coaches will instruct Pogba not to do such things against top opposition. If you compare Pogba vs Chelsea last season (game week 1) and Pogba vs outside top 6 teams, two different Pogba. One is given more restriction while the other one is given more freedom. I don't know though, I could be wrong.Do you guys think pogba is going to scan his surroundings and release the ball quickly under pressure or receive the pass and try to dribble out of trouble in our own half today? Im thinking the only way we lose is through something like this.
Not surprised. Needed a week's rest.How?!
Always doesSon starting!
Perhaps, but they are definitely something that our front three can get past.Very physical though. Typical Jose trait.
He was meant to be injured out for a while with hamstring injury.Always does
Who would you prefer?No FB's on the bench. What's Lingard doing there? Why?
Fred as left back backup as per the caf's request. FFS.No FB's on the bench. What's Lingard doing there? Why?
Shaw and Wan Bissaka have pace don't they?Expected. Would have been strange to see Lindelof starting given the worries about his "burn out" and Bailly's good performance midweek.
At least we have some pace in that backline now. Hopefully he will stay fit.
Yeah maybe, I don't rate Hjoberg, ndombele and sissoko though. I think they'll be able to handle them. Strong case for fred.I don't think Pogba should be starting right now as he's clearly not fit, and Pogba and Matic as a double pivot is concerning at the best of times. Fred should be partnering Matic, imo.
What makes you think that?That midfield will be overrun . Ole has missed the trick here.
No. Our strongest XI would be Moura (not Lamela), Doherty (not Aurier) and Lo Celso (instead of Sissoko). And maybe Alderweireld instead of Sanchez.Strongest XIs all round
Getting your excuses in early?No. Our strongest XI would be Moura (not Lamela), Doherty (not Aurier) and Lo Celso (instead of Sissoko). And maybe Alderweireld instead of Sanchez.
But we've played so many games that some must be rested.
I bet you could find a moan in a lottery win couldn't you.No FB's on the bench. What's Lingard doing there? Why?
I think this is the team most of us hoped for. Interesting that we haven't got a striker or FB on the bench.Tweet

No striker, no full-back. It’s a hint to Woodward from OGSNo striker on the bench.
They haven't landed yetI think this is the team most of us hoped for. Interesting that we haven't got a striker or FB on the bench.
That midfield will be all over us like a rash, though. That three man midfield gets overrun a lot in general, but Pogba clearly being unfit on top of that is a cause for concern as he'll most likely get no time to settle in possession.Yeah maybe, I don't rate Hjoberg, ndombele and sissoko though. I think they'll be able to handle them. Strong case for fred.
Aye, meant the centre back pairing. But Shaw is often found in the opposition half jogging back when we lose possession. Likewise, AWB doesn't always bust a gut to track back. Whereas Bailly has no problems with actual defending, he quite relishes it.Shaw and Wan Bissaka have pace don't they?
But you definitely need a pacey centre back, so this is welcome. We say now!
Oh that will always be a long list, let me see. Williams, TFM, any u23 or u18 FB, Scholes, Elanga, Mejbri, Joe Hugill, I could go on.Who would you prefer?
If one of AWB or Shaw have to come off Lindelof would come in and Bailly would shift right and AWB to LB if Shaw comes off or Bailly to RB if only AWB comes off. We should be fine. Obviously Ole wants to score more goals for the win.Wait no fullbacks on the bench?
Maybe. Certainly couldn't find the point of Lingard thoughI bet you could find a moan in a lottery win couldn't you.
RestedDoherty dropped?
Spurs team isn't strong at all bar Son and Kane.That spurs team is strong! Plus with Kane on form...I fear for us
