Manager's Press Conference | Brentford v Manchester United | Ralf Rangnick | Premier League
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
They really ask some stupid feckin questions in these press conferences.
No quotes? Where is @Samid?
Week 1: I love his honesty and straight forward approach, it’s so refreshing!
Now: Why is he being so honest, it’s upsetting the balance of the squad, he really needs to learn how to manage the press.

I think he knows too that a fit and firing Pogba, in the system that he likes to play, would be huge for this team. We need a midfielder who can make forward, penetrative passes. Pogba could be the difference for us for the rest of the year before he leaves for whatever club (P$G probably).
Pogba has been with us for several years and through 2 different managers (he has yet to play for RR).
Sadly, I just don't see Pogba being a game-changer for us.
he is a luxury player, meaning that if the rest of your squad are top grade, add him in and he'll create some wonderful goals. But if you are a team struggling against the likes of Villa or Wolves, he really isn't the guy you want to depend upon.
I would go fecking insane if people would ask me these stupid questions, what the feck are these journalists these days?
Can't believe they asked him how united compares to wotsits crisps. Wow.
Oh my god they asked him what type of steak Sam allardyce would prefer.
Shocking.
Shocking.
But such a Pogba exists only once a while.
On the Villa performance
Rangnick on Pogba
Martial situation
Postponements
Pogba return date
Ronaldo and Rashford fitness?
Thoughts on Elanga
Do you have to build the team around Ronaldo?
Yeah, he needs get Pogba and Martial out there.
What he needs is to get these extremely hard working ultimate team players back on the pitch.
Not sure why you’re bringing Tony into this.
Pogba is not hardworking, but he was on fire at the start of this season, do you remember that? Its obvious that we’re missing someone like him. If RR can get him firing, whats the point of not counting on a player we’re paying a shit load of money to? Should we just bench him because of past performances/because he’s leaving?
We use him while he’s here and try to get the best out of him. End of.
Wasn't that for a total of 2 games? Correct me if I am wrong.
Weren’t there stats that showed that Pogba was among the higher tier in tackles and distance covered?
What will the excuse for not winning this match be this time
Pogba\Martial refusing to play
Lingard doing a runner
Players on Afcon

Note the 'could be'.
He is spot on that the League performance was better than the Cup one. I dont want wholesale changes just because of the late goals.
I’ve been down on him and think he’s not worth the money but I think if we play a 3 and ask Pogba to press as much as he can, out of his comfort zone even. He could make a huge difference to us for the rest of the season. The problem with Pogba and the rest of our players is if they aren’t instructed they’ll revert to type. Pogbas standard game is overly languid. I think if we actually have a system that demands it we might actually see some really solid improvement from him if he manages to stay fit. At the end of the day he’s still one of our best players.
I was in the oh god he's going to be the toxic one mk ii group when he first came in but I think our squad needs some tough love. Ole shouldered the blame for far too long, I think it's time to throw them under the bus a bit and have them deal with the consequences of their shit performances.
100%
At the end of the day they made Ole look like a fool for backing them and making their lives easier. Time to try a new approach.
Because they are both lazy cnuts and have no interest in being at the club.
He was on fire? He played well for 2 games max.
Haven't missed him one bit.
We are onto the third manager now who might get him going if he finds the right system etc etc. Jose and Ole both failed to get him firing regardless of position. What makes you think RR will be any different? Pogba will do what he has always done and that is to play how he feels like playing at any given time, not how he is needed or expected to play. He cannot be counted on, we've seen that countless times.
Why should players who don't perform as required or want to be at the club get anywhere near the pitch?
Good presser. Liked he put the Martial situation to bed and pleased there are no injuries.
I agree with him that the performances are improving, albeit mildly.

Come on, do you actually like any of our players, at all? Even De Gea, who has carried the team at times, you can't stand.
They asked him a question on the Matrix? 
That's the British press for youThey asked him a question on the Matrix?
youve given my first laugh on here in a whileThey asked him a question on the Matrix?
This international break is utterly ridiculous, just play some of the postponed games that weekend surely? I know the other leagues are not playing to although the championship Is, it’s just stupid considering everything
I like the club.
Do I have to like all the players? No.
I like some of them.
I think DDG is an extremely limited keeper and one who despite making a few good saves actually has a negative impact on the team as a whole.
Should I like players that don't do a whole pile but act like somehow gracing the club with their presence is enough? I don't think so.
Do I think players like Pogba and Martial deserve to play for the club based on their performances and commitment to the club? Absolutely not.
I doubt it. I don't know how people would watch our games while disliking pretty much everyone.
