A) to compete for the league
B) considering how much we've spent
At no area on the pitch can we say we are genuinely class other than keeper.
Defence:
Valencia is ancient, Shaw has been good so far this season but has a long way to go to show we can rely on him as our first choice left back and Smalling is our first choice cb after all this time. That in itself is telling.
Midfield:
Pogba decent but nowhere near a ninety million pound player, Fred we don't know enough about, Matic is getting on and Felliani whilst he does a job should not be starting games even though he's been one of our better players so far this season.
Attack:
Lukaku, I wanna love this guy but holy feck if he isn't scoring he's not good. From a technical stand point he's a horrific footballer and we don't have the rest of the team to make up for his deficiencies. He's so slow and cumbersome. Rashford one for the future really, needs to improve his decision making. Martial likewise. Lingard has improved a lot but he hasn't got consistent attacking output to be starting game in, game out. Sanchez, once the best player in the league but he can get fecked. Sell him in January.
We are miles away.
We are so far off being good enough

Pogba is the best two-way player in world football,
-
What’s that even mean?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He can contribute a lot defensively, and offensively.
Look how he played lockdown defence vs Belgium at the World Cup in the SF, then played that beautiful pass for Mbappe in the Final where he scored.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really?! He’s facking awful defensivley for us, but largely down to his attitude.

Problem for u guys is that you have 3 players for 1 position; Lukaku, Martial and Rashford are out and out strikers, but maureen sticks 2 of em out wide.
Square pegs in round holes....

Fair comment, we have no real width at all.

It’s what they use in dance studios, assume Paul is there as frequently as he’s on the pitch ?

How I wish we had a Keane or a Rio on the pitch at times. Not only for their footballing ability, but just to give Pogba a good fecking on-pitch bollocking when he needs one.
I don't know whether the little bit of praise he's received over the last couple of weeks went to his head, but he went back to spending most of his time today prancing around the ball instead of playing simple passes. Perhaps if someone had called him up on it in the first few minutes it wouldn't have cost us a goal. We don't have those personalities in our squad - I don't even think I've heard our captain speak a word of English.
For all the criticism Pogba receives though (a lot of it rightly so), he is still our most creative player by an absolute mile. The rest of them look completely clueless anywhere near the opposition goal.

The strange thing is since SAF retired, our defence generally has been really strong, its just we struggle to score goals.

the fact is if jose has the players klopp or city had we will still play dire footbal and some idiots will still find a way to blame the players
I called this when we were linked to sanchez. Signing any attacking player is a pointless excercise at utd as long as Jose is in charge
jose joined

Please.
