    That's how it works.

    You get too down, too quickly. Yeah, the opening half hour was cagey and **** but show a bit of patience, please. We're not going to be two up in ten minutes, that's not how we roll anymore. For now at least.

    The Pogba mystery is doing my head in though. To be honest, he's doing a very good impression of a completely ****e player of late. He needs to snap out of it.

    Or be dropped. I don't see why he has to play.

    First game in a long while where we played half decently and concede two goals in a minute.

    Only 21 more for you...

    I only say it as I see it. It's not like we're playing an Italian style of tactical masterclass, developing an attack through patient play. We're just plain **** for the most part. When we break the deadlock it usually comes from an individual bit of skill or ability rather than something that's been crafted. You can't criticise me for describing how badly we were playing for 43 mins tbf.

    Agree about Pogba, then I think maybe I'm missing something the others can see? I really don't see what he adds to the team at the moment.

    We were overly cautious to start but now we're a couple up and they have to chase it we should get more.
    That's how I see it anyway. It's worked this time.

    I think Pogba should have been dropped instead of Carrick myself. He's doing nothing for the side.

    There's no doubt that Schweinsteiger would be doing better in that role too.

    Yeh you said that last game and I'd agree. Maybe he's saving Carrick a bit more for the business end?

    Not sure, it would make sense to not knacker him out I suppose.

    Better to be getting the points on the board though and deal with the end if season when it comes.

    I also think Herrera plays better with Carrick. He's been poor with Pogba recently

    Ibrah really is a terrible passer of the ball.

    We're 3-0 up. Bring on Martial on the left, take off Ibrah and put Rashford up front.

    83 minutes of turgid ****e. Only 7 minutes worth watching. Bloody hell, this is painful.

    Bye bye Martial, bye bye Shaw <ok>

    Strange to think that if Vardy and Mahrez had left - Leicester could possibly be in a better position. Those two have no hunger any more - their new, big fat pay packets have killed their enthusiasm. Whoever they might have got in to replace them would most certainly be giving more for the club. Job well done, now let's beat Watford next weekend while the RS bottle it against Spurs
