    @Wzzi great result for us, I've been a big fan of Lopetegui's implementation of organized positional play and it's made us look more solid on defense and hopefully we remain effective in front of goal. Happy for Mariano, already can see his time in Lyon paid dividends.

    Best Pogba goal since he joined United was a class goal. He needs to score minimum 15 goals and 20-25 assists a season.

    There can't be no excuses He has Fred and Matic two quality defensive CM's alongside him

    @Fire Squad that was one disastrous performance by RM in the first half for them to concede 3 goals like that. The defense was wide open and exposed, honestly Sevillia could have ended the match with 2 or 3 goals more. What's worse is they even failed to capitalize on Barcelona's defeat so they take the lead. Terrible performance, they seem jet-lagged. The Madrid derby is this Saturday. Disappointment, but it's better to make mistakes when it's too early and learn from them...

    Absolutely, it could have been uglier. There's been a recurring trend from teams playing against us to aggressively attack the half-space between Marcelo & Ramos (Their 1st goal was a result of that) and the fact nothing has been done to address it is infuriating. Credit to Sevilla for their successful overloads in attacking key areas + blocking zone 14. Positional Play requires everyone to do their fair share of running/zone occupation and as you mentioned we looked gassed, I hope we wake up since we're playing an even harder game this weekend. Let's hope for the best...

    This is a work of art, enjoy guys

    Pogba has to play as the most advanced in a 3 man CM alongside two holding CDM to get the best out of him

    Blanc needs to replace Jose. He has played for the club and won a PL title with United, he plays an attacking style that is the traditional United way, he speaks English, he has a good relationship with Pogba and Martial, he is available at the moment, he has a good relationship with SAF

    Right now he is the perfect candidate. He also used to play the diamond formation a lot at PSG and this is the formation Pogba played his best at Juventus as a box to box LCM and won 4 titles

    He wouldn't change the personal much at all imo he would just buy two world class CB's

    Nah just saw the result but great point for you guys. This Bayern team is in a transitional period under Kovac, we actually might have a Bundesliga this season.

    Speaking of fallen giants, Real has been frustrating to watch. Asensio really has to start taking the initiative otherwise we have no choice but to blow the bank on a superstar. I enjoyed these last 3 years, gotta lower my expectations again. Thoughts my bro @Wzzi ?

    Another disappointing performance. Third match in a row zero goals... This is unacceptable. Unbelievable. The only good from all of this, it's still too early and they haven't lost anything as of yet.. There's a problem obviously. Otherwise they'll have no choice but to go all in on a superstar like you said. This is not going good at all.
