    Us trying to transition the ball from the centre of midfield to our attack is painful to watch. Credit to AC Milan to be fair, they've been very good at stopping us from doing it. Bruno has also been terrible.

    They have a comparably depleted team and they’ve completely outplayed us away from home.
    Having players who are comfortable in possession and who don’t give it away cheaply make you look good. City would trash them. Heck I’d fancy Arsenal and Spurs to win too.

    Sure, if you count 7-10 minutes a game an actual appearance. One of those 26 games you're talking actually had him playing one minute only.
    Well it was in response to a comment that he never plays, if you don't count 11 starts and 15 sub appearances in half a season for a player that is still bedding in after no pre season then I really don't know how to explain it to you.

    Pogba is so goddamn important to this team.

    Matic McTominay or Fred. None can replace him.
    Its our weakest position by far, followed by right wing. People have always been mistaken about the defence, sort those out then focus on defence.

    Really dysfunctional first half display, it’s taken a while for this 11 to start finding each other on the pitch and it still ain’t great. Bad miss from Maguire there

    Iv watched almost every milan and utd games this season and I'm suprised by how poor we have been and how good they have been, but why should I considering how relaxed lack of urgency we play after a big result it's a massive mentality problem.

    Milan have been very good, well coached energetic but half thier team and I mean first 11 is missing including thier best players. However they do have Kessie who's been a monster player and Meite finally looks decent but even dalot looks very good

    I would put Martial off the left, James off the right and Greenwood down the middle, would like to see James take on a right footed Dalot on his left.
    They are hitting long balls over Maguire's head to keep us deep.

    I just see Amad is on, so that's my theory scuppered.

    so we are going win the title? I have watched United for longer than you've been alive, I'd wager. and at times this season we've been worse than the side that went down to division two. fact. but hey, you sit there, insult me and pretend we are United of 1999 if that makes you happy
    Feck me we must have had a decent side when we were relegated then.

    We’re second in the league and just coming off beating the best team in the league halting a streak of 20 odd wins for them. Second in the league for most goals scored I believe?

    Yes I’m angry with the up and down form and games like that first half are infuriating but your being ridiculously over the top.

    Just counting appearances number doesn't matter. Counting the minutes played is.

    You can't simply put a player for 5-6 minutes a game and still count this as an appearance comparable to some one who played 60-70 minutes a game.

    Probably a precaution over Martial. Why risk him for one leg of the EL. A substitution to stir the loins nonetheless.
