Not understanding the Pogba hate at all, he did what so many were calling for, taking it easy playing simple football and it was really effective in the second half, controlled the tempo very well and the few long passes he attempted all worked. People just have it out for him IMO.
Wait Pogba does what he's asked and he gets hate?
Some posters need a reality check

Chill you moaning weapon. We are still in 4 competitions so gear down a bit is just natural.
Some of our fans really are impossible to please whiners.

We just absolutely dominated last year's "champions" at their own ground, absolutely coasted to a 3-0!

Seems like we were conserving energy towards the last 30 mins which is a plus. Didn't get out of 2nd gear at all.

Great result - despite Leicester being awful, i did think we played well.

With our goal difference, I felt we should have went for a bit more considering how awful Leicester were - no idea what Mata was doing with his chance.

Hmmm... Agree with that, even though it's all very negative. It was as though we were feeling sorry for Leicester. GD could end up important too. It's going to be a tight finish. And yeah, our CMs weren't great at all.
Oh cmon Pogue. Was good to see we won that game comfortably without breaking too much sweat. We are still in 4 competitions. I thought we did very well.

Nowhere fast
Players put in a great shift today! I thought Mata just edged Mhiki for MoTM. Next 5 League games will be crucial and help put us in a great position for Top 4!
Watford (H)
Bournemouth (H)
Southampton (A)
Middlesbrough (A)
WBA (H)

Hoping for a minimum of 13 points and the max 15 points would have us in a great position! Its fun to be optimistic again!!

Not particularly impressed despite the comfortable win. They were there for the hammering and we took our foot of the pedal.

Cant understand how Martial and Shaw couldnt get half an hour. Perfect time for them to come on.

Zlatan dissapointed again. Defence were excellent although we were never under any real pressure. Rashford Mata just done ok. Miki done the damage. Pogba and Herrera done what they had to do.

Our game at the moment is easy to predict.
:rolleyes::lol:

Top 4 was never off, no matter what the drama queens on here would have you believe after every dropped point.
Bad result = off
Good result = on
You know how it is!

Don't do this mate. Everytime someone says we have a good set of fixtures we don't get past the first one

That's the time to log off from this place. Moaning after a very good performance from the lads really is unbearable.

First half was not impressive. Obviously the goals right before halftime, and then the Mata goal early in the second, killed Leicesters spirit. We strolled most of the second half. Thought Miki was quite good. Mata had ups and downs though overall did well enough. Rashford was wasted wide left and should never be there. Ibra did okay. Very nice to have Bailly back.

For me, our biggest problem is still our midfield. Herrera is okay at everything but doesn't really excel at anything. Pogba had another match of being underwhelming. He has everything required to be world class, but right now he is just average and not justifying the massive fee. I hope he is learning and will get better for it.

A piece of individual brilliance broke the ice - as a team we were poor until then.

Comfortable win in the end though but we missed an opportunity to really improve our GD.

Mhkitaryan was brilliant. If only he hadn't been frozen out for so long... we might be in a better position.

It just felt like a bit of an opportunity missed to fill our boots. Leicester were the worst team we've played in the league all season IMO. Meh. I'm not pissed off in the slightest. Just mildly disappointed. Good weekend for us all round so nothing to get fussed about.

The next game is next week, go figure you weapon.
And? The fresher we stay the better. I'd not have liked to see anyone getting injured after being 3-0 up. It was a very good performance yet moaners like you log on to talk absolute rubbish. That's quite sth.

Some of the absolute douches posting in the Pogba thread are incredible.
Had to give one some stick.

I'm not sure how it works with newbies these days, but we should probably go back to the qualification requirement.

Enjoyed that. 3 goals, didn't concede, away from home, gain ground on Arse, Pool.

Nice.

I'm annoyed by how our players went full pedestrian mode after the 3rd, even when they've had chances to score (Mata, Mkhitaryan) they've done fecking shit. It's like they're topping the table with great GD and they don't have to give a shit anymore.

Game was over after 50 minutes, Leicester were shambolic in defence and we didn't take any advantage of it. It's the lack of proper mentality that Jose was talking about.
even after winning 3-0 we were wastful.
We took our foot off the pedal simply because we have so many matches coming up.
This was so irritating. Should have put six in.

Had a feeling Rashford was going to be slated after this match. Okay, he fluffed some chances but overall, thought he was par for the course. Disappointed some posters seem to have an agenda.

They were but we played very well too. That's what we are capable of when we really get going. Also Mata should have made it 4-0, so the chances were there.

Because extra 20 minutes of effort to finish this shit off with 5 or 6 would've knackered the shit out of them for the next Watford game. Given how tight the top 4 race seems to be at the moment, I won't be surprised if GD will be important, and at the very moment, we're at the very end of 'look at our GD' race.

Plus if you want to complain about some moaning then you're barking up the wrong tree, I'm talking something pretty obvious here. If you're looking for some proper moaning then I suggest you visiting the Martial Krazy Kult thread.

I'm pretty sure appalling wind ups are frowned up on here.

We're soooo easy to predict aren't we. That's why Leicester coped so well today right?

Should have won at least 4-0 anyway so the chances were there. I doubt it will come down to GD.

You really believe it'll come down to GD?

Just like the season when we've lost it on the GD to City, eh?

Yeah, I know that we've asked for it with that Everton performance or Wigan one but there's no assurance same type of shit won't happen this season.
