    About time

    Super finishes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,019 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Big Rom's perseverance pays off. He has been excellent tonight, even leaving aside teh goal.

    He makes some great runs. Always looking to run in behind beat rarely gets the service. He was getting loads of through balls earlier in the season and was burying them.

    Shaw has got half a stone to lose before he looks fit.

    huh?

    I've one to moan about his weight in the past
    He's looking as fit as he ever has IMO

    Weight isn't an indicator of fitness. Look at the rugby lads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Are Am Eye


    Still twenty minutes left. Game has been played at a ferocious pace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,584 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Pretty sure that's the only time United have scored twice when I was in the jacks

    Scrap the cap!

    2 delicious assists, the finishes weren't bad either !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,019 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Love Axel. Think he has a big future.

    I think Mata has done ok tonight, a couple of good crosses into the box iirc also.

    What position does he normally play


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    20 minutes of Martial and Rashford up front as a 2? This could be enjoyable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,160 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    What position does he normally play

    Centre Back naturally but also stepped up to Centre Midfield. Played Right Back for Seniors last Season.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Good subs by Jose

    Subbing off the key players


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,019 ✭✭✭✭adox


    What position does he normally play

    CB but can play fullback or in MF but a CB really.

    The physical requirements for rugby players differ greatly to that of soccer players. Shaws carrying more weight/body fat than is necessary.

    Pogba has also been driving you mad.

    He is a joy to watch, a genuine world class player

    I'd say the same as Rashford, as well. Both will be glossed over cause of the goal, but overall, I thought they were poor. Rashford has been very selfish and very wasteful.

    How can you possibly tell that

    McTominay just flattened one of the Russians there in a shoulder to shoulder.

    I’m talking about tonight’s game which I would have thought was blatantly clear from my comments. He hasn’t been a joy to watch.

    Saying he’s a genuine world class player is just you typing words for the sake of it in relation to his performance tonight.

    You decide a player is great and so is great in everything they do in every game.


    I don’t.

    I'm sorry but he is lightweight
    Ideal against a team like CSKA
    He gets shrugged off the ball regularly in the premier league
    And has been caught out recently in a good few games which exposed his weaknesses
    Just be honest about it


  • Posts: 0 Ryan Mango Nanny


    Super save from Romero
    Top goalkeeper

    Genius mata there

    You dont become chelsea player of the year twice and have as many goals and assists that he has at man utd if he gets shrugged off the ball regularly.. that is just nonsense


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,606 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Pogba has been poor tonight, outside of his assist. Using this game as an attempt to say he's "class", or whatever other benign cliche you want to use, is showing nothing by tries-tinted glasses.

    Especially with having nothing to do for most of the game. Great concentration.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,592 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Bangkok thinks every player that plays for United bar Fellaini is World class :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,214 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    Rashfords final ball/decision making is such a let down more often then not.

    At the same time he changed the game
    He's actually had a poor game I agree but no matter what always has the ability to turn a game which he has done
    Without him Lukaku would not have scored

    Has not happened for rashford tonight bar the goal

    Poor?? Some of his passing has been exceptional

    Using this game to say anything about anyone is pointless.

    CSKA are the worst team we've played in a fair while. They're shocking.

    It has been but I still think he is a hugely exciting player which the potential to be world class.

    So who are we hoping City get Bayern or Real ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Are Am Eye


    I think it's fair to say technical skills is mata's forte. He doesn't
    have power or physique. Not going to burst passed people.
    At his worst he's a bit tippy tappy and non productive.
    At his best his sublime skills can open a team up or create a goal.

    By his own standards has been a little quiet this season.
    He is 29 as well, it's easy to forget. Time marches on.

    Yea, I'm not an advocate of this excuse either. You have to beat the teams in front of you.
    Doesn't matter who.
    They are not in CL for nothing.
    Players of better skill will turn a game.
    Pogba did so.

    Work rate? Based on this game? Ah no, now I know you're taking the piss....

    I love Pogba but I don't know why anyone seriously would choose this hill to die on. It is acceptable to say "he's usually good but had a poor game", you know.
