Sean, Pogba has been much better this season with Matic beside him. I’m convinced we’d be closer to City had he nor been out for so many games. With that said, though, he does always look like he has another couple of levels to go up. He needs to have a bigger impact on the bigger games, there’s no doubt there.

Absolutely Cman, nobody to blame but ourselves. We could and probably should have had a penalty but Leicester probably should have had one too with Smalling climbing all over their player in the box. We just couldn’t put our chances away.

Not quite sure how that’s ended in a draw but that’s football. The battle for 2nd is back on! ?

Not sure how Utd are only 2-1 up here. Missed about 3 easy chances now and should have had a pen from Rashford being brought down. Would be a travesty if Leicester come back in this one.

Come on CM. I know it’s difficult watching City at the moment being as dominant as they are and I know your posts are generally tongue in cheek, but please tone down the obvious wind-up posts. There’s a decent bunch of City posters on here who I’d rather we could keep hold of! Merry Christmas to all

Nil, chill. Stop taking things so personally. We all know what it’s like to suffer disappointment in football. At least you don’t get outplayed at home by your local rivals!

I could get used to these Friday night games. Great comeback from Arsenal but probably right that Liverpool pulled it back again

CM is compiling a list of stats as we speak which prove Pogba should be number 1 on this list! This thread is right up his street though so if he’s reading, he’ll be posting before long.

It is a fair point Jim. KdB is just playing out of his skin at the moment and Silva is much more suited to the City style of play than Pogba is.

KDB, many people’s player of the season has 3 more league assists and 3 more goals than Pogba in 10 more games so his record is as good as most for the few games he’s played

His goal record in the last 18 months just backs up what I said Jim. He had a slow start to his Utd career and took a while to find his feet. Before Matic arrived, he was played far too deep. I completely agree with those who say he still has a lot of potential to unlock. He’s definitely not reached his full potential yet. His 3 goals and 5 assists in 8 league games suggests he’s definitely playing much better this season. We’d have more points now if he’d played all season, without doubt.

I agree he couldn’t do Fernandinho’s job but I’m also certain that the opposite is true. There’s no way Fernandinho would be as important to this Utd side as Pogba is. Put it this way, if you offered any French man the chance to drop Pogba and replace him with Fernandinho, I doubt you’d get a single taker.

More than happy to disagree on this one! I do agree though that Silva and Aguero are criminally low on this list, so it’s not all said with my Utd hat on.

Lukaku is nowhere near Kane or Aguero but I certainly wouldn’t put him any lower. I think only Kane (or is it Aguero?) sits above Lukaku on PL goals for the last 5 years. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but his goalscoring record is right up there with the best of the last 5 years or so.

Jim, I think I agree with you that Pogba wouldn’t get into this City side but I’d say that’s more to do with the type of player he is. He’s an all action powerful and physical midfielder rather than the small, neat passer that Pep prefers. Quality wise, he gets into any team in the league IMO. The way he absolutely bossed the so called stars of the England side the last time England played France showed the difference in quality.

Granted, we are a pretty average side at the moment but that says more about the rest of the league than it does us. We’re quite a way above the rest of the league, City aside, which goes to show how bad the rest must be!

Pogba is an easy target because of his “image” and his fee but if you watch him every game, you can see he is a cut above the rest of the side. Him and DDG are our two world class players, who I think would get into any side anywhere. After those 2, we’re just not good enough but there’s just no way Pogba should be as low as that.

In 8 PL appearances, Pogba has been MOTM twice with 5 assists and 3 goals. We’ve badly missed him when he’s been gone and we’ve still somehow managed to stay quite far away from everyone bar City.

Yeah not sure about Mbappe being that high just yet. Hazard probably should be a bit higher. Kane is good but is he the 5th best player in the world? Pogba is a bit low too. He took a while finding his feet but he’s such an important player for club and country now. Alli probably a bit high going by his performances this season. Silva and Aguero a bit low too IMO

Apologies for the delay Pagan… You’re right, there is a time limit within which you can edit posts. I think it’s set to 15mins.
