Matic, Pogba, Young, Mata, Herrera all 3 out of 10 if that.

Jones and Shaw our only stand out players today.

We didn't have tons of shots today.

Barca aren't going to have any sleepless nights watching us play today.

Agreed VC

I like Mata but his little legs just can keep up with his brain

prem they will be up against a side that know how to hit the target.

I may be the only one, I hope Madrid come in and offer us 150m for Pogba. I’ll drive him there myself.

manusince52 I know, just saying we were due a dip in shots on target. We had a really poor day at the office and could easily have scored 3 easy goals.

I’ll go for Coutinho. Also maybe lower the amount a bit and ask for Kroos

You must be forgetting who we are facing in the CL then?

They too aren't too bad at creating chances/shots.

Matic should be nowhere near this pitch next season. It was embarrassing watching the middle of that oark today, end to end no control

I say give Pogba the season with Ole.. lets see how he pans out then. We can still sell for good money.
But personally, i want him to stay. An Important player.

Still, we won. Still in with a shout of top 4;
Still in the CL for now, and at least a glamorous tie coming up.
So not all doom and gloom.
Something good and red tonight I think, and it's sunny here.

Watching him try to play out from inside our box is infuriating, you just know he's getting dispossessed

Prem in La Liga Barcelona had 196 shots on target from 28 games while Man Utd had 193 shots on target from 31 games.

Next best in La Liga is Real Madrid with 162 shots on target and weirdly enough the rest of the sides have very few on target per game and nowhere near these 2 and Man Utd most likely already have enough shots on target this season to be ahead of 3rd best la liga side shots on target wise.

Weird that the media spent so long talking about how you need a CB when midfield seems to be way more of an issue, at both DM and CM

Pogba is an important. If it's not someone like Coutinho coming in, i'd not sell him at all. No chance. We need a proven top midfielder. He's our only cm that can score goals and pass the ball.

Without his goals and assists we'd be nowhere, he needs more consistency though, badly

Expected goals again OGS Man Utd wins 1.98 vs 1,35. Most of Watford shots were rolled to De Gea or hit from outside the box.

Stats only mean so much Hafi.

Today's game for example exposed our vulnerabilities, especially in the midfield area. The attack was largely starved of any useful service today.

Our defence (although better today - aside from the goal) has been suspsect all season. We will be playing Barca in 11 days...

We do not need stats to know that we will be slaughtered if we performed like today against Barcelona. The shots that rolled to DDG will be flying to the top corner because we are facing some of the finest on planet earth. We (those that watch football with our eyes) know this.
