It's becoming so predictable watching us.
I'm a big Ole fan, I've been vocal about the good things he's done (and doing). this game feels different though, it feels like the players have stopped. The post match interviews we're quite miserable and sombre. Tripe from Pogba, spouting out the usual garbage in the most miserable way possible.
The issue's we got are plain for all to see.
We are too slow on the ball. Our central midfield is a shambles. We cannot cope against a high press. Our forwards are not involved enough.
It's also a nailed on sure thing one of our defenders will make at least two individual errors per game and we almost always face an uphill battle.
Everytime we play Pogba in a deep midfield position - thats us in trouble. He cannot play there for us - end of. He's so lazy with and without the ball. Pogba and Matic together just means the opposition can do what they want there - they have a free game.
Fernandes for all his good is way too high up the pitch for the most part.
I know every manager will have they're favourites and reliable players but playing Maguire was a disaster. He's not fit and it cost us. The insistence on playing Pogba anywhere is becoming ridiculous.
Interesting to see how Rashford features now because when all fit, he's got to start. Sancho's had a slow start, Greenwood has been in good form and there's no way we bench Ronaldo. We have dilemma's in the front third while we are so bereft of idea's in central midfield.
I'd love to see Ole be strong here and drop Pogba. Drop Sancho. AWB had another mare as well, but cover is an issue there as Dalot probably wouldnt fair much better.
I've said in the summer - our squad depth will cost us this year. We needed to move more players out and enhance the quality in midfield to make it a good window. Our bench options are still fecking Lingard, it's not good enough.
I'm so sick of watching Pogba play midfield - he's atrocious there. Matic too. Fred and McTom are average to decent and Donny just wastes on the bench. We need a shake up there big time or top 4 is looking like a battle we arent equipped for.
We have to play Donny. We've tried every other combo and they're all pretty average or worse. It cannot be worse than it is now in there
