Apparently if they'd have played Bailly the outcome would have been totally different.

Bailly has become the new baresi since he had three ok games. I suppose anything is better than lindelof.

Its so funny how they knee jerk over a player after a few nice performances, ignoring the previous years of shite and inconsistency. They never learn.

He was a luxury player at juventus, carried by pirlo, marchisio and vidal. Hes expected to control games at United which he can't do as hes a highlights player. Hes also shocking when pressed.And he's generally been shite for France other than one overrated world Cup where he wasn't even one of the top three or five best players in his team. Crap at euro 2016 and most post world Cup.

Hes the most overrated player I've seen in thirty years of following football. He seems to be rated so highly by some simply because of his media profile. Hes not shite but hes completely average. People see him doing a flick or hitting a Hollywood ball under absolutely no pressure and go completely over the top.

He represents everything wrong with modern football. Rated more for his pr than his performances.

Absolutely 100% spot on

That Fernandes guy seems a bit of a twat. Shushing Pep a few derbies ago, then crying like a school girl last night after a routine Fernandinho chop. Loved the way Fern just stood his ground and just stared him up and down.

There is nothing routine about a Fernandinho chop, it is calculated and a thing of great beauty ;-)
 
Pogba is like all the ‘big name’ players they have signed in the past few years - only there for the money. He seems indifferent to what’s going on around him and this makes him way too casual when he has the ball at his feet.

Like most of us I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes at the swamp, but a player with his abilities doesn’t become as poor as he is now overnight.
 
Well they have just spunked £37m on some 18yr old from Atalanta. According to ogs he is one of the outstanding talents of his age

Never heard of him.

The rags did the same with martial and lauded him as the second coming.

If this young ivorian lad is any good, he best be prepared to have his talent ruined

What are his abilities though?

Hes a good long passer when not playing it out of play. He has a decent but erratic first touch. He's not that great a dribbler, he rarely scores or assists, he's poor when pressed as i said before, he can't control games like xavi and he seems to only be able to play on a very specific role set up for him in left of central midfield.

People say he should be doing better, but I can't see it. I dont think he's got it in him to do better than poor or average. He's played well now and then but id suggest those performances are the anomaly yet they get talked of how good he is at his best. Any player can be a world beater now and then. Its doing it most weeks that is key.

Anyone else find rag family or friends (yes we do all have some) take great offense if you dare mention on social media that we beat them but when they win you have days of random shit as they pat each other backs on their latest revival. Totally disproportionate.

Probably the same ones who pipe up when they win but then go MIA after a loss, especially a derby spanking.
 
Went to supermarket today in bury, reach for a steak off the shelf at the same time as another shopper. Being the polite chap I am I turned and said please after you. As I turned I was met by a slightly unnerved looking Gary Neville! Awkward! Particularly as I was covered in city hat, scarf and face mask lol
