Would be even funnier if he wrote it after last night's game, but he wrote it a couple of years ago.

When the Burnley shenanigans was going on, if I remember correctly.
Tons of thanks and respect to CH and the team he’s assembled for helping them all over the deer in headlights “omfg what have we gotten ourselves into” first couple of games.

Pogba was very good for 60 mins but tired visibly from then on having to carry the Man U midfield. Sideshow Bob is not a top 6 player and Matic looked pedestrian too

Until I just watched the highlights I had forgotten Matic and Young were playing. The only Man U player who impressed was De Gea - one of the five or so best players at the Amex this season (Coutinho, Hazard, Firminio, Salah the others

Pogba is far too good for Mourinho and that United side. He deserves to play for a top team who play the right way.
Lukaku aside he is playing with some very average footballers.

That’s got to be a banner for next season hasn’t it?
Will we be playing them next season? Yes we will

I really enjoyed his commentary/punditry last night.
(PS He was a brilliant brilliant guest on the Quickly Kevin podcast too, as was Lee Dixon.)

That ball was unreal. Was like a half volley on the spin too. He made a couple of world class turns too. But that’s not good enough when you’re getting embarrassed for the rest of the game. 750k Dale & £10mil Propper bossed him & his mates all night.

I’d throw De Bruyne in there too but wholeheartedly agree.

I think Pogba's a complete waste of space and has been all season. He ambles around the pitch like he owns the place, usually choses the wrong passing option, and in my book is the main reason for United's 'poor' season. He's too expensive to drop - to do so would be to admit they've wasted all that money.

Couldn’t disagree more, he is class. Just playing for the wrong manager alongside players who are not in his league. Put him in the City or even Liverpool sides and he would be unplayable.

Until we were in the same league as him I hadn't realised how good De Gea was. I was hoping we might get a 0-0 last night as couldn't see us scoring past him.
Stephens is a quality PL centre midfielder.
It’s unbelievable that even this season there’s still a little band of Albion fans, who don’t rate the player.
They’ve gone quiet.

Yep, Davy does that so easily & often we take it for granted now.
His flattening of Pogba in the lead up to Glenn's (almost) worldy was bloody beautiful too

I think the big difference was that Pogba played with Fellani 
and Matic who was played too deep and Stephens had Propper alongside him with an out to either Knockaert and Iziquierdo as an out if needed.

I was wondering which player Pogba's performance reminded me of - then former loanee Lingard made it click. Pogba was an amalgamation of our loanees Best and Gardner - Best for demeanour and Gardner for 6 yard sideways passes with occasionally trying a 40 yard worldie.

no good having talent if you don't use it. There were a few absolutely brilliant passes from him. To me it looked like there were two united teams playing they looked so disjointed.

But he will need a big kick up the arse as well...
