That sounds more like a description of a weird foodie porn video.Sounds like a new McDonald menu to me. Burger with special tomsauce and beef grilled on brazilian charcoal, very delicious and tenacious, buy buy buy.

Who’s pretending Pogba won’t walk back into the team ahead of Pereira? There is a role very much for him. But for team dynamics McTommy and Fred are looking a very good pairing, Pogba hasn’t really clicked with either of them and is better in a more free role.Stop pretending that Pogba will struggle to find a role in that team. Even with one foot we need him to be even better.
McFred should be enough i guess. Btw RoJones is a brilliant name.What a terrible name for the pairing. I guess, it’s Rojones legacy...let’s call them Freddie Mac
Agree on Rojones. Caf classics.McFred should be enough i guess. Btw RoJones is a brilliant name.
Nah, I don't think so. Specially when you consider Ole tried to play Pogba as a CDM. Fred needed a long run of games to find form but that only happened because Pogba got injured. All in all, here we are anyway, just play Pogba ahead of the duo and we'll be goodThis is one area Ole absolutely all credit for. Pulling of a midfield with Fred and Scott seemed impossible a few months ago.
they were, and he actually had a fairly decent game.This, I swear people were slagging him off after Bournemouth.
I think we've seen some of the potential of this group of players today. Lots of young hungry players who'll get better and more consistent over time. The squad is still very thin on the ground in areas though and we'll struggle if McTominay is out for a while. He's been terrific.
I must admit i had no hopes for that man, but i would be thrilled if he can prove me wrong. Hes always been industrious and decent at winning the ball, but his own handling of it and his passing was disastrous. Yesterday though his passing was top notch and he could have had at least one assists had we been more clincalFred seems to be growing each week. Maybe there is a player in there somewhere.
I'm pretty sure that Pogba's defensive stats per 90 will be far superior to AP's. AP offers nothing. Not sure why people talk about his work rate and movement a lot.If Ole is fixed on the flat 2 man midfield they are by far our best options now. Questions remain whether can Pogba play in #10 role because I don't recall him being particularly good in there. Pereira might be shit but his workrate and movement really gives us a lot of balance.

His inability to keep the ball, to pass the ball and even to shoot is a massive problem.Yesterday, when he went on to do those ridiculous stepover before his goals, I was dumbfounded. There is no way Pogba isn't a significant upgrade in that positionI'm pretty sure that Pogba's defensive stats per 90 will be far superior to AP's. AP offers nothing.

Pretty much everyone wants this now. The only reason I can conceivably think Ole would't try it is he likes his 10 to press, but the difference in quality between Pogba's creativity and Perreira surely makes up for it.Pogba with McTominay and Fred behind him and James, Martial and Rashford ahead of him looks like a very exciting prospect. Let's see what happens if it ever does happen in a match.
His shot was ridiculous for the goal and he lost the man for the Brighton goal. AP has played nearly all of the PL matches and yet out of the 16 goals we've scored - he has just one goal and assist. That's seriously pathetic for a player in the number 10 position.He probably played some of his best football there

He cannot complain if he is soon a bench warmer again. Some opportunities need to be taken by players like himHis shot was ridiculous for the goal and he lost the man for the Brighton goal.

I don't doubt Pogba's defensive workrate. I'm talking about it in the attacking sense. Lingard and Pereira's strengths are their pressing and off-the-ball movements, something which happens to be Pogba's weakness.I'm pretty sure that Pogba's defensive stats per 90 will be far superior to AP's.

IMO Pogba will be definitely be an upgrade from Pereira but I honestly do not know whether will we come back to the same issue. His best position has been done to death here.He probably played some of his best football there

I think there are genuine positives now as well though. We've got a core of very young players coming through who've got more than a decades football each ahead of them in Rashford, Mctominay, James, Wan Bissaka, Williams, Greenwood and some of the other kids. Clearly it's frustrating being a mid-table side but imo we're starting to see glimpses of where we're headed.I am happy too but this is the main problem, A good game against a team like Brighton after losing against Bournemouth and everyone think we are ok. Come against a decent team and people start complaining about how bad these players have been.
Alexis, Lingard, Mata, Matic, Rojo,Young, Jones, Bailey...once we replace these 8 with proper top class talent then we can think about playing proper football.
Until that point we just struggle to get into top4!
It's very strange that he's taken so long to find his feet here. I'd totally written him off. Biggest turnaround from a player I can remember.I must admit i had no hopes for that man, but i would be thrilled if he can prove me wrong. Hes always been industrious and decent at winning the ball, but his own handling of it and his passing was disastrous. Yesterday though his passing was top notch and he could have had at least one assists had we been more clincal
Last season, in that winning run under Ole, is the period I'm talking about that. He was scoring, assisting and creating danger. His "laziness" wasn't much of an issue either in that position in comparison to play as a pure CMI don't doubt Pogba's defensive workrate. I'm talking about it in the attacking sense. Lingard and Pereira's strengths are their pressing and off-the-ball movements, something which happens to be Pogba's weakness.

Its well documented in Italy that the #10 is not his best position. I think Allegri and Blanc tried him in that role a few times and it didn't work. Even Mourinho tried it most notably towards the end of 2016 and many fans thought he is not a #10. Many of us wanted him in that specific LCM role of a midfield 3 which doesn't even exist in our current formation.
Nah, Pogba walks into the team ahead of PerreiraHonestly we have been better in the last 7 games than we have been in a long while, it should be hard for pogba to get back into the team, especially if form continues
Speciesist.McFrogBa you know
Seems like it could be very good on paper. He really didn't seem to suit that deep role Solskjaer had him playing initially, in theory his skill set should lend itself well to the role, plus having an actual cohesive attack in front of him could be a huge plus. With that said I do think I need to see a few more games of Fred playing well to convince me it's not just a purple patch.Pogba with McTominay and Fred behind him and James, Martial and Rashford ahead of him looks like a very exciting prospect. Let's see what happens if it ever does happen in a match.
Do we not feel that radically changes the dynamic of the team ?Nah, Pogba walks into the team ahead of Perreira
Its not even the same position as what Pereira/Lingard are playing for us now. Pogba played as the LCM while Pereira/Lingard plays in the hole behind Martial. Just look at the heatmaps.Last season, in that winning run under Ole, is the period I'm talking about that. He was scoring, assisting and creating danger. His "laziness" wasn't much of an issue either in that position in comparison to play as a pure CM
Yes we'd be a lot betterDo we not feel that radically changes the dynamic of the team ?
Fred wouldn't even get a job cleaning the boots of players at City or Liverpool (or Chelsea/Arsenal) but the fact he is becoming accepted at United tells you exactly how far we have fallen...People getting carried away here. Fred has been utter shite barring a couple of decent performances recently.
He's a long way to go before he gets to a level of where he should be week in week out
