Relax guys. We're resting Pogba and Matic for Liverpool.
At least we will defend. Our defense is absolutely atrocious. If you lean into the TV close enough, you can smell when the other team is about to score from a set piece on us... you sure as hell can feel it coming.Man, so depressing when your manager doesn't have the balls to go head head against Atalanta.
With McFred we will just defend and hope someone does a worldie.
I don’t think that’s true just here’s he has barely played this season.Was hoping Cavani would get a runout as we look like a more fluent outfit with him leading the line. Less so with Ronnie.
Not last season. Two seasons ago we did. Last season we really struggled with themI think the problem with this is that we've won most the big game wins with McFred. I don't know why Redcafe never considers that?
I must have interpreted it differently, I thought he meant he'd change something major about the way we play, and it was disappointing to see he didn't trust himself/his players enough to break away from the safety option.It was a bit of a weird comment and hard to read what he actually meant but I thought he felt we’d been unlucky in recent weeks and at some point that luck would change and we’d get the rub of the green.
They were outnumbered.The reason is that we lost control of midfield against Leicester. Pogba and Matic both rightly dropped. Others were poor at the weekend, but our midfield was invisible.
Hasnt that been the main tactic for a while now?Man, so depressing when your manager doesn't have the balls to go head head against Atalanta.
With McFred we will just defend and hope someone does a worldie.
I am too. We're gonna win this easily!Am I the only one on the Caf buzzing for this game? It has been a long 4 days since Leicester, hoping tonight can make up for it.
We also drew and lost a lot of the 'small' games with McFred, and some of those 'wins' we had were those comeback wins we pulled out the bag - but people conveniently forget this also, in defence of McFred.I think the problem with this is that we've won most the big game wins with McFred. I don't know why Redcafe never considers that?
He was the best of a load of shite. And he can't play two games in 4 days. Nonsense indeed.Nah Matic was the best outfield player. Spouting nonsense there
Donny's game against West Ham and Young Boys was miles better than anything McFred has produced this season. He gets no gametime. It's become clear that the 4-2-3-1 is simply not working. So what does Ole do? Persist with it. Ronaldo is still stuck up top for a poacher role that he never once played in his life. My problem is that Ole seems deathly afraid of trying something new because he is afraid that it will be the end of him. But it is precisely this type of fear that makes him a mediocre manager. In this he is eerily similar to Moyes who'd do the exact same thing Ole does. They're both cut from the same cloth "make it difficult for the other team to beat us" types.Failed utterly? Really? Compared with every other central midfield partnership we’ve tried they’ve been by far the best pairing.
Agree with this actually....he was let down. Individually he did well though.Nah Matic was the best outfield player
100% mate, but our winning stats with McFred are way better than with any other combination which shows what we could actually do if we had a competent CDM in there.You could write that quote 40+ times when mentioning McFred though, at best we’ll get a mediocre performance they‘re the worst midfield pair regularly starting for United in 25 years.
Imagine chasing a right winger for 2 years and finally getting him for 70+ million then not getting the best out of him.
He’s dropped Pogba quite a bit in the last few seasons.This will be the start of Pogba v Mourinho all over again.
No it's not, but we're never going to find it out because VDB won't get a shotWhether we like it or not, McFred is still the best midfield partnership we've got currently.
We always play with a central 2. Why aren't we always outnumbered then?They were outnumbered.
Well do you have a better suggestion? Because Donny isn't it.Not last season. Two seasons ago we did. Last season we really struggled with them
I don't know why Redcafe never considers that?
How is McTominay part of our best or in-form 11 when he's been piss poor and Pogba has been our best playmaker thus far with 7 assists? Is it because Pogba 'cant play in midfield'?This is absolutely our best 11 on current form. If we can't win with this team, the problem lies with the coaching
Yeah but the way Pogba came out and give the interview after Leicester he’ll take this bad..He’s dropped Pogba quite a bit in the last few seasons.
Sure, except it was still 1-1 when Scott went off the pitch.We lost against Villa at home with Scott and Fred starting so no it's hardly the solution regardless of what is gonna happen tonight.
You're correct, but in those games we had Bruno pseudo leading the line while Rashford/Martial/Greenwood/Cavani would drift wide with pace and make runs on the counter.I think the problem with this is that we've won most the big game wins with McFred. I don't know why Redcafe never considers that?
I just feel Cavani is a better fit for Ole's setup than Ronaldo. He's even more effective when Rashford is alongside him as they can both press when required.I don’t think that’s true just here’s he has barely played this season.
I’m really interested in how Ronaldo links up with Rashford. Even Cavani fell away when Rashford wasn’t there
Well my suggestion involves better coaching, Bruno being more of a third Midfielder than a striker and then with Pogba McTominay or Pogba FredWell do you have a better suggestion? Because Donny isn't it.
Sure, except it was still 1-1 when Scott went off the pitch.
Rashford and Mason are also good sources of creativity, albeit they would be better if coached. Can’t disagree with the rest.It's a team devoid of any creativity and guile barring Fernandes ,our front three are all goal scores it's quite unbalanced and I don't think you can expect much from Mcfred in terms of creativity either .
But it's kind of a team which Solskjaer find himself most comfortable putting out basically not trying to lose and if our attackers can make something out scraps they are fed on it's a job well done for Ole.
So the game in which he was to blame for the oppositions winner and a game in which he came off at half time is your evidence. You are on a wind up aren't you?Donny's game against West Ham and Young Boys was miles better than anything McFred has produced this season.
Didn't you read the memo?One of the best possible lineups, we'll win this easily. McFred is crucial to us, whilst Pogba should be a left winger or bench player
