Most overrated midfielder currently.
I think people need to start paying attention to the fact that Fellaini's contract expires at the end of the season. While everyone is focusing on Sanchez contract situation, Fellaini needs to be resigned as soon as possible before the sharks can sign for free in January.
After the world class performance today, I'm sure Ed Woodward will offer him a fresh 5 year contract first thing tomorrow.

What is the problem with Pogba then? Is he being played out of position or just playing shit? Didn't watch a lot of games last season so I'm legit curious.
I think he's clearly very good technically. But he has made a bad decision playing under Mourinho.
Pogba needs a more advanced and free role.
Like most players under Mourinho, he's asked to do a lot defensively. Some thought Matic would be a good idea, as a more holding midfielder could give Pogba more freedom to get forward. But Mourinho wants his whole team to sit deep.

ROONEY! ROONEY! ROONEY!
He has played very freely in this game though, especially in the first half. He was practically AM then with Matic and Herrera assuming the defensive duties.
He plays better with France in a similar setup to tonight 4-3-3. Pogba shined with Juve but they played 3-5-2 and he was not asked to carry the team or be a creative force.
He is a legitimate threat in the box and his linkup play is underrated.
The biggest issue with him is he's very inconsistent, and get's easily annoyed. He acts as a free spirit off the pitch, but to me during matches it seems as though missed passes, shots etc affect him.
It's also easier to shine when you have good quality around you. Lukaku might well struggle aswell as he had a lot of decent balls fed to him at Everton, he won't get that at UTD.
I can not see this team winning the premiership, like at all.
The likes of Liverpool are far more dangerous going forward, just a shame they're terrible at the back.

Carroll available for the game?
Maybe he should try more often some safe passes when he has two open teammates instead of shooting from an impossible position. That should give him more confidence.

lol Mou gave his runner up medal to the crowd. 2nd place medals aren't good enough for Frauds.
It's as if he wants to validate his price tag to people. He has got a good long shot on him, and can pass well, but his decision making (as you say) is shit.
I would say that will come with age, but he's not that young anymore. He should be hitting the peak years of his career soon.
You practically want a third Benzema.
He wouldn't be that good in such an advanced position. At RM he would fill in for Modric or Kroos.
Nope, should be back after the international break.
Against teams with more threat has to do his defensive duties so has to sit back.
Anyone who can't see glimpses of his talent hasn't got eyes, but he's inconsistent and can play 5 worldies and then miss 3 short easy no pressure passes, then complains about it.
Fuck, there is already an international break so soon?

Think it says more about Carrol's injury record
Pity he wasn't injured more often at Liverpool, we might have actually played Maxi more often.

The fact he's still our record signing is a haunting reminder of both our past and current failings.
First one is always first week of September and October.
1 Sep - World Cup Qualifier
Malta vs England 19:45

Too soon. Well, we get three football weekends plus Liverpool struggling in CL playoff by then, so plenty of fun.
Yeah, I hate it. We should just play them all in a mini-tourney post-season.
Wait, I thought we broke it for Salah?

Not yet. 34 Million so far, I think he might break it with add-ons though.
Getting 45m for Torres and then turning around and spending 35 of it on Andy Carroll is the most Liverpool thing to ever happen.
Hilarious that neither of those transfers worked out.

It was 50M we got for Torres. On the bright side we got Suarez at the same time and managed to get the guts of 20M back for Carroll. Still, a disasterous transfer. So short sighted.
Also his ponytail was well shit.
Ah yeah. I forgot it doesn't count if it's not up front! We should have paid more up front just to rid ourselves of the embarrassment lol.

Didn't you hear? We're breaking our record twice this window. Record breaking window. We're finally competing at the top of the market. Just wait. Keita, VVD, Mbappe. All in the next week.
We have been lied to AGAIN. They will sell Phil for 100M and not spend it on anyone, because there is no one to spend it on. Negative net spend yet again.

That was the only time I've ever enjoyed someone missing an open goal against United.

The funniest part about that miss is the world class dummy just beforehand.
