But Pogba and Ronaldo in the same dressing room is just pure poison. They are not team players. Ronaldo is totally over the hill. Pogba came on for 17 minutes and literally strolled around with his hand on his hips. He could not survive at any other club but United where these sort of players are indulged. There was a real lack of effort in that team yesterday from certain players. Bruno Fernandez showed his true colours as well. Happy days.

Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. I was just pointing out that even we've lost our discipline when things are going against us on the pitch. Hopefully United lose theirs again in 12 days time ;)

So out of that very good squad that they have, who would you take to replace in our squad. All the players you mention above would all walk into the rag team.

To have a very good squad does not amount to have the best squad. Most of their players would look very good under Pep: Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford, Sancho, and so on. Maybe even Fred, van de Beek, Martial...It's not the quality of the squad that is their biggest problem. At this level managing is crucial: the better players you have, the more difficult it is to manage them.
 
For all the hype of Rashford, Sancho and Greenwood they all lack one thing that will stop them being true elite players and that is football intelligence.

A good coach can get you to realise your intelligence like Pep has done with many of the players we have, but if you haven’t got it you’ll never progress to the next level no matter the coach.

That’s why the likes of Sancho won’t be the next Ribery or Robben but will be the next Aaron Lennon.

No, it can't be - surely no-one would be that thick as to watch crap for 10 years.
Oh, hang on, you are talking about the rags so more than likely the answer is YES.

Err, supporting a crap team for years makes you thick?? We applaud ourselves for watching crap over 30 years,so what does that make us long term blues by your logic? We accuse Rags of being glory hunters so if this is the same lad then respect to him for sticking with it.

the negative about yesterday is that there is no way on earth they play the same system against us.....absolutley no way..OGS sayign that they went like that becuase they were at home and they are expected to attack when at home......I bet anyone he changes that for when he plays us...not even he is that stupid to make that mistake again....

He has had the beating of us recently and he will revert to sitting back and hitting on the break and into the channels which is the way for him to play against us and it has worked......Rashford, Greenwood will both start against us (providing they aint injured).....Ronaldo wont if he has any sense

We should call him out on it before the derby - shaming him into continuing to attack - saying if he parks the bus and counters it will confirm that they are running scared.

Sadly yes.

As you say, Ole will revert back to the tried and tested tactics that have beaten City recently. Sit deep, pack out the 18 yard area, and break when there’s an opportunity.

The cynic in me thinks Solskjaer and United would sooner get a result against City than against Liverpool. Which is rather odd as we keep being told that United v Liverpool is a bigger rivalry

Massive cracks at Old Twatfford are turning into chasms. Fucking hilarious what a deluded shambles that club, and its fans, are.

they are just the same as Arsenal.
The owners are just in it for the money.
The main difference I think the arsenal owners are astute enough to invest just enough on the right people to stay top half, whereas I dont think the glasers are atute enough.
