Was great.
But still annoying how midgets like Coutinho beat him in the air.

Focus on the world beaters we do have who continue to stink up the joint.This is Man Utd... We expect world beaters.
Yea, we need some more Pogbas.This is Man Utd... We expect world beaters.
And Zlatan's, and Rooney's (according to the last few diehards. In reality our best players have been Bailly,Valencia, Herrera and Fellaini, who would have thought that?Yea, we need some more Pogbas.
Young ,Fellaini and Herrera got us into the Champions league in 2014/15 while DiMaria and Falcao were shocking.And Zlatan's, and Rooney's (according to the last few diehards. In reality our best players have been Bailly,Valencia, Herrera and Fellaini, who would have taught that?
That's why I get baffled when some say we're great or title contenders just because we got some new toys in Miki, Zlatan, Pogba for example(although they got enough time to get going and pick form). Name means nothing to me after this past few years.Young ,Fellaini and Herrera got us into the Champions league in 2014/15 while DiMaria and Falcao were shocking.
Big names mean nothing.You'd think people would be wiser to that after the spending spree we had and little result.

I've written about his shortcomings in the Pogba thread... his anonymity hasn't gone unnoticed.Yea, we need some more Pogbas.
I said that in the pre-match thread and people seemed to think he would get exposed and get shown up.So much for him not being able to handle Liverpool's pressing
So every other player is just a little bit thick? At the very minimum of my expectations were I to be manager, would be that the players followed instructions. I sort of get what you mean though, and Fellaini really put in a shift yesterday.Giggs said beforehand that Fellaini is one of the few players who will follow instructions without needing to be repeatedly told. Van Gaal said the same thing last season and Mourinho appreciates him too.
For my money he's been decent for the last three. The amount of stick he gets is appalling.He's actually been pretty decent this season.
I did not get a chance to watch the game but i was one of the guys to crib about both the players starting. Glad that Jose's team selection has been vindicated. My apologies. Not that Jose needs it.So when do all the "feck sake Young and Fellaini, all these managers same shite" brigade bob in with an apology because yet again Fellaini was head and shoulders above our supposed "world class" players.
As was Young.
Pogba needs to grow an afroIt's got to be his new hair because he's done a good job this season tbf
Definitely. I can't get rid of this nagging suspicion that him playing well has no impact on how the team plays, though. You'd hope that when your centre mids play well that the rest of the team functions around that. Despite being an undeniably selfless player I'm not entirely convinced he fits into the bigger picture that well. Unless the bigger picture is us playing destructive, disjointed football more often than not.Another good game from him. In terms of bad vs good performances, him and Hererra are head and shoulders above all our other midfield/attacking players.
He has his uses it's only when managers forget that and use him in every game, regardless of the opponent, that he gets found out. As a specific weapon for certain games/teams he is brilliant.It's got to be his new hair because he's done a good job this season tbf
Under Van Gaal, he started every game where the team put in a really top performance (which was rare enough but usually against decent opposition) and this season he was a key player in our opening run of victories, so we're obviously capable of playing well with him in the side. Southampton, for me, was our best performance of the season and he was a big part of a dominant team display. It also helped that, for once, Pogba played really well in that game. So long as he keeps failing to repeat that kind of performance our midfield will always look disjointed but it's Fellaini who is more likely to get the blame.Definitely.

Individually I've been really impressed with him though.
