@Edgy1968 your rants crack me up (sorry mate). I couldn't have ranted better myself. To be honest I'm beginning to lose faith, I've been expecting things to change over the last few months but the manager seems devoid of any idea to make the change happen. The 4231 clearly doesn't work well with Pogba, the whole world knows it so why cant Jose see it? Although Martial did kinda ok on the right why change the team like this half way thru a season. At least keep the continuity of the team going by keeping Martial left and Sanchez right then maybe over summer implement the change so they have time in training to adapt. Jose has not only thrown in a new player to adapt to the team but changed our best players position as well at the same time. Baby steps Jose, baby steps!
Surely it's time to say goodbye to 2 centre backs (mentioning no names) and get one decent one in. Lindelof needs game time and lots of it if he is to partner Bailly which I'm sure the future intention was when they bought him.
Matic has been dreadful and getting worse. As Edgy says, he's put the ball out of play 3 times looking for a pass in 2 games now. Mind you he did play 1 absolutely exquisite defence cutting pass through from midfield yday. But overall he's just poor. i think for the last TEN matches he wouldn't have got more than 5/10 for each game.
Pogba looks completely lost. Even the commentators were saying he looked injured early on but he gave the thumbs up to Jose to say he was ok when he was clearly not. He couldn't sprint or even jump for a header. WTF is going on. Does he have a clause in his contract stating how many minutes a season he has to play or something as there is clearly something amiss leaving him on the pitch like he was.
I also saw a stat after the game that De Gea has the highest save percentage in the league. We can argue all we want about this stat but at the end of the day he's having to make save cos we have a dodgy cb pairings.
And why inst Shaw getting game time again?
And as a footnote, Lukaku won't score if he doesn't get decent service.
Necessity signings: 2 x CM, 1 x CB
Possible future signing: A manager who plays attacking football that can change tactics when needed
