Completely agree. I like more than 1 focal point as well, but I do think that it requires very very good coaching. Bruno and Pogba could be amazing, it just comes down to who does more defensive work for me. I think Bruno provides better defensive cover so I would play him slightly deeper than...

Yeah, I could definitely see Ole playing Pogba in a dual pivot. Tbf it would still work. I am interested to see how the team dynamic changes with Pogba added into the team though. Right now Bruno is the main man and everything goes through him. Throw a Pogba in there and suddenly you have 2...

No prob. Don't get me wrong, Pogba can play in a deeper role. But that's because he's a good player, not because he's suited to it. I think his game is suited to a free role. His game requires complete freedom. He can play next to a Kante, but not a Fred or Mctominay. Since we have Fred and...

Not reversed roles. Its playing without a traditional no.10, kind of like a 433. Fred and Bruno as a double pivot. Pogba with a free role given complete freedom to affect play. This means that instead of occupying the space behind the striker, he can drift to the flanks or deeper depending on...

Actually, even though I've talked up Bruno as an 8, at the minute, I do prefer Bruno in a no 10. I think having Bruno as the focal point has been bloody amazing because he's made everyone look better. And If we get a specialist DM that can cover for Pogba, like a Kante, having Pogba in a dual...

I see what you mean by it being risky, he hasn't shown enough of a defensive game in a United shirt. But I look back to his first game against Wolves and I think he actually played well in a deeper role that game. Also, it may not mean much, but the former sporting manager, Carlos Carvalhal...

Harsh. I don't think I actively ridiculed anyone in particular. Fair enough if you disagree, but would appreciate it if you could share your views on why that midfield 3 wouldn't work.

Why are people treating Bruno like he's a mata? Bruno has the engine and tactical discipline to easily play in a double pivot with Fred or Mctominay. If you want Bruno and Pogba in the same midfield, then its obviously Pogba Fred Bruno Pogba in a free role and not as a traditional no 10...

Of course it was a red. He deliberately used his arm to block a shot that was going on target. Doesn't get any more red than that.

Actually true!

Offside. The player is in the path of the shot and the keeper's line of vision. Line of vision is not a literal line, its an area. The close proximity of the player to the ball and the keeper makes him an obvious obstruction within that area.

No fixed midfield 3. All of our options are good. Fred/McT/Bruno is arguably equally as good as Fred/Pogba/Bruno. Matic is a decent option as well. Whoever is on form plays. On current form though, our best is obviously Fred/McT/Bruno.

Solskjaer is Woodward and the Glazers' man and they want Solskjaer to stay in the job. On the other hand, if the board are forced to change managers, they will be under more pressure to get the appointment right, or face more fan dissent. Changing managers puts more pressure on them. It won't...

You do realise that Woodward and the Glazers WANT Ole to stay?

Fair enough.
