We're useless without him. Like even when he doesn't play great individually, we still play better with him being there. Just his presence and random moments of creativity bring stuff that the others can't.

he played against Everton last time and was marked out of the game. We also drew more home games whilst he and Zlatan were playing. Same shit different players
But we at least create chances when he's in the team.

Loves playing the quarterback role of hopeless long punts into the box. Diversify your game.

Not been in the game at all.

Wrong change made by Mou.
Bizarre. Are we watching a different game? Mile ahead from Carrick from first half doing similar role, yet Pogba for most part had to rin the midfield on his own with Herrera had to do a weird false right full back role. Fellaini played way further up the pitch on second half.

I don't understand why he played so deep. I feel like he would have been much better upfront with Herrera in Pogbas role, rashford on the right wing and martial playing on the left.

My main point was that it was the wrong change, taking Blind off and Ander going LB was daft.

I also don't think he was in the game enough, just didn't do enough for me.

Certainly improves our build up play, hopefully he will be more appreciated now.

He changed the game for us. His passing is brilliant.
I'd agree with this. We controlled the ball in a way we simply couldn't in the first half. I do think more is expected of him than that and can see where the criticism comes from that he didn't produce it, but when the pattern of the game changed so much when he came on it's undeniable how much he improved us.

Fellaini.

You can laugh now, I'll laugh with you through tears but I will laugh.

Only occurred to me today. But has Pogba ever sprinted this season?

Really? I thought he had a big impact. Our game revolved around him. He was much more influential than usual. I haven't checked but I'm willing to bet he'd have more touches than most of the team, despite playing half the game.

Blind was weak point along side Carrick this game. For example, the corner leading to the goal, look at Blind. Same old story, too slow to get to the ball. Bizarre decision, and poor positional discipline.

Pogba on was a right sub.

Herrera was playing a false RB role, very narrow. Not really out right RB. Lingard tracked Baines and stay wide in defensive phase. If anything with Pogba on, Everton was shut down more in second half. They punt it toward Lukaku and Barkley who Rojo and especially Bailly in beast mode contained them all
