That was the most comfortable we’ve looked defensively all season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good to see Maguire playing well. Hope he keeps it up.
I had that good feeling after the match. That was very positive. I treasure positive moments much more now, than ever.

There next 3 league games againat fellow london sides Tottenham, Arsenal and Crystal Palace. I could see there run of draws continuing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Utd are based in Manchester Hafi.
Steadily improvements are being made. Now I want to see some improvement in the final third.

The time he sat out including the bench time made him reflect on his situation
It's not much of a surprise we don't create a lot when Bruno is the only creative player we have playing in attack week in week out.
Our front three is usually full of players who prefer to shoot rather than pass. We miss Pogba and we could really do with Sancho finding form as it would help us create more chances in the box like the best sides all do.
We're pretty average when it comes to number of touches in the opposition penalty area in Europe's top five leagues and it needs addressing at long last. Hopefully we'll see some improvement in that regard in the coming months.
Huge win that. Stadium was rocking today too. Definitely deserved that as we had far more control of the game and more shots too.
Ronaldo isn't playing well for me though. Complete passenger at times and can't hold the ball at all. Don't think he's up the speed of this league anymore.
I am on about Chelsea. The main thing is to get the points on the table. That brings more confidence in the long run to play good. Its gonna be close for top 4 spot.
Maybe 4 teams for 2 positions.
Yeah we need Maguire to find some form. I’m not a fan of him but he’s much better than he’s shown this season.
Getting Pogba back and Shaw should help as well, if they can find some form as well. We’re really struggling to create when Bruno is the only that can be relied on.
I mean 4 teams Arsenal, Tottenham Man Utd and Chelsea fighting for 3rd to 6th although Wolves seem to be really efficient recently so they could get in the mix. I think West Ham are in freefall like last season end and Moyes doesn’t know what to do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought he was ok in retaining possession today but he’s not doing enough and I agree he’s no longer up to speed.
He was brought in to get goals but in terms of league goals from play he was actually only joint 3rd from the players on the pitch today.
In fact he has only 3 from play in his last 16 league appearances. That’s not good enough.

If Pogba is off in the summer is there any point in making him a key player?

Yeah, our attack has more finishers than creators. The sooner we rectify this the better.
On another note has anyone seen Shelvey’s goal for the barcodes before?
We’re a better team when Pogba plays, so getting him in the team in a bit of form will make a difference to our season. Rangnick’s already said he’ll play.
Looks like Rangnick decision to sub Ronaldo off in the previous game helped for that last minute play by him.

I agree with all of this. I think we're also hampered by the fact that players just don't make the right runs into the box often enough. A guy will have the ball 30 yards out, there's no movement in front of him, so he just shoots and it flies over the bar. Rinse and repeat. I agree on the lack of general creative ability 100% but even KDB would struggle to create a lot of the time, given what would be in front of him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he has to. I'm not his biggest fan but it's clear for all to see that we are in dire need of more creativity and Pogba is more than capable of unlocking defences, provided the forward players start making more intelligent runs into the box

Yeah our movement in the final third is a long standing issue as well.
It’s a twofold problem because I think they make more runs when he’s in the team as he can pick them out.
Telles being unable to run past a man doesn’t help either. His crossing isn’t good enough from the deep areas he always crosses from. Shaw’s ability to drive into the final third makes it harder for defenders to clear the cross, and gives the options of cut backs. Obviously he’s not good enough this season either, so needs to pull his finger out.

Agree. Telles is decent back up but Shaw of last season and the Euros is levels above.

Don't see who he comes in for though other than Elanga.
One of Fred n Mctominay plus Pogba and Bruno doesn't work. Never had and never will.
