  1. Paul Pogba | 2019/20 Performances

    Nuts. We play one good game against a team odds on for relegation and you think we don't need him? There is still a distinct lack of creativity in this team. Martial thankfully provided some of that upfront today but against tighter defences we are going to need Pogba's guile too. You'll be...
  2. Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion

    Anyone see that shot of the coaching staff just then with their head in their hands? We need an overhaul asap. Ole included.
  3. Would you sack or keep Ole? (Poll reopened)

    This is grim to be honest. Newcastle are a horrific team but they're having more of a go than us. Needs to go if we fail to win this match.
  4. Why do commentators and pundits keep saying ‘at least we can see a plan/what he’s trying to do?’

    I agree, and it's really annoying. I think there are a few factors involved. Ole is likeable and does have some semblance of a transfer strategy (especially compared to previous years).

    Really difficult. I would love to be proved wrong but I just don't see it getting any better for us given the upcoming fixtures. We need to sack him before top 4 becomes unattainable. We have a huge rebuilding job on our hands and we need to give ourselves the best possible opportunity to...
  6. Paul Pogba | 2019/20 Performances

    This. Again, despite an average performance by his standards, he is one of our few players that plays incisive forward passes. He had some nice passes and touches in the game, and quelle surprise, when he started playing well, we actually looked threatening. And of course, it's worth...

    Others didn't go and the reason cited, as I understand it, was being disappointed at the performance. Nice selective reading...
  8. Paul Pogba | 2019/20 Performances

    Hello, been lurking for many years but after last night I decided it was officially time to join in the fun. I cannot believe the vitriol directed at Pogba. Our fans routinely call him a virus/disease. It's loaded language and it's totally toxic. Hatred towards Pogba turns people irrational...
