Before OGS got the United job didn’t he say Pogba was the best midfielder player in the world and he would build his Utd team around him?

He repeated that the other week, just not build the team around him. Deluded.

He's not even the best midfielder in Manchester.

to be fair to OGS he is not the only ex “ pro” that has said that. There’s no doubting his ability, but like in golf the the most difficult 6 inches on the course/ football pitch is between his ears. Plus his agent, is his the same one that YaYa Toure had. Both are clowns.

Theres no doubting his ability I think most would agree he's a talent but to call him best in the world is laughable.

I just don't get United.
A paper thin midfield with Pogba out for another month due to an ankle operation and McTominay out for several weeks and yet nothing appears to have been done regarding getting replacements in.
This was glaringly obvious, right from the start of the season, with full knowledge that a couple of injuries could capsize our season, yet we seem to be trying to sign a striker!
It's a simple question of priorities, and everyone can see where they lie.
Oh, and why can't we get a decent result against any of the crappier teams, (Watford, Newcastle, Arsenal etc.), yet do well against top six?
It's bonkers mental, that's what it is!

All we can do is counter attack. That works against good teams who have to attack us. When so called lesser teams sit in and force us to dictate play, we simply can’t do it.

It doesn't matter how good the defence and attack are, if there's no midfield you're done for.
The attack hardly sees the ball at the right time and the defence is under the cosh too much of the time.
Every successful team HAS to have a strong midfield ................... we haven't even got a weak one!
We're now down to Fred, that's it.
Lingard is poop, Mata is too slow, Matic is even slower, Pereira not as good as he thinks.
We HAVE to buy at least one and probably two midfielders this window.

You’ve lost as many league games in 2020 as we did in the whole of 2019. I think you’re more than a couple of midfielders short

Think UTD are getting to the stage that Liverpool were in during the 90’s and 00’s

You need imo

A CB , LB , three Centre Mids , a striker at the very minimum

unfortunately Utd were once a massive team, but not now. Which coincides with Citeh now being massive but were once rammel like Utd now are.
They are still a massive team, just a massive team going through a bad phase, every Club goes through phases, no one Club has dominated top flight football continually.

I don’t think they’ll drop to City’s rammel level. ;)

Such an impressive performance- especially off the back of a heavy load of fixtures and suffering a lot of injuries. Clinical with a lot of control. The team won’t get the plaudits they deserve but it’s going to be close the best Prem team seen.
