The Taurean
looks like a chipmunk
Last 2 defeats was hard to take considering we should have been kicking on after PSG Leipzig results. Let's see what the backroom puts out today and response of the players.
We have field 11 players.Doesn't mean much when he continues to start other underperforming players though. Where's the consistency.
I am glad he’s sending a clear message re Pogba consistently now.
Not behaving himself by the sounds of it
Of course he won’t go. We are stuck with him until top four is lost. Going by the poll, that’s exactly what the majority of posters on here want too.
He should never have been appointed in the first place.

Cavani isn’t fit and starting him risks real injury. Did you see his most recent cameo? He looked like he was struggling even to keep his balance at times.
Bubble I think, if he's showing no signs then it's OK to train within the bubble. Plus he'll need to get up to speed after missing training.Why was he with the squad last night then.
Fernandes is seemingly bulletproof too, despite not really being any better than Pogba this season.
That's true, but the larger point about inflexibility in the front three is a major issue. Two guys like Rashford and Martial should be very flexible to play on either side when necessary. There's absolutely no reason why either cannot perform in a wide right position. If you can only shine in inverted roles then that's a problem.
Drops down to 5 goals and 12 assists. Which is about 0.55~ per game. Still pretty decent for an attacking midfielder!
It has been hinted that they have done it so he doesn't have to go away with Brazil. Not sure they will get away with that.Bubble I think, if he's showing no signs then it's OK to train within the bubble. Plus he'll need to get up to speed after missing training.
Oh look I haven't a fecking clue about this Covid isolation bullshit. My boy's team can't train outside but he can go to school with the same bunch and sit in a fecking class room![]()
If results aren’t good it’s not much of a message, he’s back to picking less talented players because it’s easier and they’ll run around more. It’s a short term fix and may get job done today but considering how long he’s been in the job it’s not good enough.
Too much pressure on Bruno to be the sole provider of assists with that lineup.
What if he has a bad game?

I reckon if the other personnel were right they could be the new Yorke and Cole as a two. I don’t really see either as a winger, we could play to their strengths more!
Are we genuinely 4 points above the relegation zone after 9 games? How is this manager still here?![]()
Electrician vs PE teacher. Clash of the titans
Not this one tbh. He doesn't make us better and he doesn't us worse at the same timeAny team without Pobga is a better team.
If he hasn’t played there’s no way he gets into the National side anywayIt has been hinted that they have done it so he doesn't have to go away with Brazil. Not sure they will get away with that.
James? He's had some woeful run outs this season
Pogba is by his own words not in his best form, so I don´t think there is any complaints from him being benched. Pogba will be back stronger later in the season.
What to expect?
Understand that, but I suppose if he did that it would make no difference - probably did that throughout the summer to no avail. Switched to normative learning!Rather than throwing games away with dodgy sections just to make a point, it might be easier for Ole to just call Woodward up and say "where is my right winger, Ed - you had one job to do, you useless cretin."
