Lol but you got Rostov.. the lowest ranked team in Europa. Clearly its not your year :D oh and you got Blackburn and Wigan before that, and a few other easy games in both the FA Cup and EFL cup.

I think you need to move to the banter thread? Otherwise you seem like a secret agent for a team that actually plays in the EPL.

Soft red utterly ruined it.

For the team they had to field, they were doing a hell of a job.

Nah. As someone said on another forum; basically Hazard cannot be touched now. So if he is allowed to run free, United will be murdered.

Clearly Jones was tight on Hazard but you can't single out a player not to be tackled by a whole team only the one targeting him.

Never heard of such ****! Since when does a whole team get warned not to touch another player..How do you defend then? So any player can get a yellow card even for a simple foul..

What a joke

that red was BS... the first one wasn't even a yellow - Hazard runs into Herrera who stood his ground

Yeah exactly..Costa does that (uses his arm) on DDG and they say he was protecting himself...Herrera shielded his body and gets a yellow

In a way I'm kinda glad we out of the FA Cup, we need to focus on the Europa and 4th place - Europa is a bitch but hey if it's a route to the CL at the expense of 4th place then we must take it

on a side note - Pogba is really irking me, his either trying too hard to make an impression or he looks like his taking a piss...

I hear ya..but he isnt the worst considering the options we have. And this was one of his more quieter games ( but then again it was only after we went a man down, before that he was doing well as was everyone else) other than that he has done well

Problem is..if we paid 20mil for this 23 year old, his same performances would be praised, but because we paid 89mil, he is not performing. Forget the money as its just United Aimed inflation. The guy will get better and will improve on what is already a fine footballer..with the new recruits coming in, we are in for some spectacular stuff

No dude if you saw what he was doing at Juve vs what he is doing at United you would also be disappointed... 89m price tag - ya we paying for potential who left, but Ronaldo went to RM for 89m didn't take him long to score record goals from the wing. Pogba needs to do a hell lot more shooting training and score a few more goals than his current tally if he wants to match that 89m price tag - I think the price tag is weighing him down

I agree with this sentiment. He also needs to see and use his team mates a lot more than he does, trying to be superman all the time when a simple pass could take out a couple of opposition players

Anyhow, onto Rostov
