Neville has been converted at least.

Shit football but individuals turn it round in the second half.

He is right about Pogba though. Back in the team and we look like garbage once again. He has been here for ages and Bruno has already given us so much more.

Its all about mentality at the very top levels of the game and Pogba doesn’t have it. He should be sold and the money should be given to the new boss.
We don't look garbage BECAUSE of Pogba but because we have a clueless manager who plays joke footballers like McTominay due to passion and insists on zonal marking which leads to us conceding when we supposedly have a top CB who's a great header of the ball.

I agree Pogba doesn't suit the PL because he can be quite slow on the ball but there's no doubt he's not being used correctly and I mean that he needs to play at the base but with someone more mobile and more skillful than Mr Rugby. But why didn't he play him against PSG and play someone like Fred against WHU?

A continuation of my previous post:

Two moments of individual brilliance from Pogba and Greenwood (who were having shockers prior to that) and we're head in a game we should have lost at half time.

Can you not see that?

Yeah, I guess I could see him playing more consistently well in a system with better players on the same wavelength. I just think he lacks consistency as an individual and his head goes down far too often.

The silly mistakes this season too come from a player who isn’t a leader and doesn’t have that winning mentality.

He is a luxury, even within a particular system and I think VdB is a better bet long term. He is far more flexible and offers reliability and consistency that Pogba never will.

Selling Pogba and using that money to bring in a proper striker or a serious right winger is a far better option for the team as a whole in my mind.

:lol: which such luck, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins us the champion league.

Reminds me of di Matteo. Obviously, a horrible coach, but somehow gets results.
It is not luck. The squad has a bench worth 100's of millions of pound. This team can easily win the league this season with the quality we have with just a little bit more consistency.

David Moyes is actually a much, much better manager than OGS. Not necessarily for United given his style and lack of charisma, but in front of a tactic board it would look light night and day. Embarrassing.

Once again winning in spite of the manager. This squad is insanely talented. A good manager would get so much more out of it.

Bruno is our real captain, that's for sure. Without him, we're nothing and it's more about spirit and mentality which OGS lacks. A typical SAF leader. How Maguire is still being given the armband ahead of Bruno is another example of dumb decision-making.

As for this result, OGS's luck is beyond doubt but if it meant we might win the league with him, I'd keep slating him and look like a pratt week-in, week-out. I somehow doubt it.

If anything today confirms the fact we have the quality even with injuries to keep winning. If only we had a manager on the same level.

I've never seen a team with more ridiculous shifts of performance within a game than Ole's United. We either start electric or like a pub team. Nothing in between.

This is the bottom line of it really.

Imagine if we had a manager who could motivate and set the team up to actually play football in the first half of games.
