Agree I have never blame Fabregas for his effort, He always run his socks off but man i just wish he is a bit faster

oh if he is a bit more athletic, he is the best midfielder in the world

Completely agree, they were better but hey we won and it wasn't 1-0 run and grab short of thing, after the goal from Costa the game was our

But the game shows his physical ability is not good enough to play in two man midfied (I think we know that already) but it is just so sad the only player who can play that perfect ball to Costa in our team is fabregas

Brilliant player, absolute world class. It is a pity that we sold him

Maybe if navas stop diving they can get a penalty, he was jumping like somebody is shooting at his leg

A bit too slow playing in back 3

Good yellow card for Chalobah, that tackle from Aguero should not be allowed in the game.

I highly doubt anybody better at making that long through ball pas in the league

Absolutely brilliant playing against 3 defenders, no problem brilliant

Cahill looks uncomfortable all game long but somebody need to come in for fabregas, he is way to slow for two man midfield

It usually happen with Mou team, you become a bit paranoid and develop some kind of siege mentality

No wonder west ham is struggling this season. Defensively they are just horrendous, United looks like they are going to score a whenever they attack. And did the gk pulled his hand in that ibrahimovic goal

Don't get me wrong I agree with you we always look shit when we get pressed (you get nervous when you are pressed hence you tend to rush things) but being compose under pressure is difficult especially when your CB are not good on the ball. Can Azpi and Cahill improve their skill on the ball, I highly doubt it. So just pass it long to Diego after string of small passes (to tire them) or use Moses ability to run past people. Next game against City we will see how Conte adjust against pressure team who is fresh.

Keeping the ball while being pressed is really difficult. Even barcelona struggle with that. We have two CB who are not really brilliant on the ball, but as you can see in 2nd half no team can press for 90 minutes, you just need to cope with it and or play long ball. Imo the biggest problem in the 1st half was we kept losing the one on one battle. When we played long Costa was beaten in the air, when we play short Kante and matic could not shrugged of their markers, we also could not get your ball from their players without fouling

They pressed like crazy for 60 minutes against City and after that they looked knackered.

Spurs is playing the right way against 343. Attack the middle. That is a problem. But please stop trying to play from the back just play long ball.

PSG will want Pogba money for Verattti so I don't see it happening

How many world class players this days that can play both sides of the ball well and capable playing in two man midfield ? I can't think any players on top of my head. In term of replacement for pedro, who should we sign ? Everyone mentioned Griezman who has been brilliant for Atletico but if you want to see Atletico Griezman you have to play him in the middle, Deschamps tried to play him on the right winger and he was not as effective. Mahrez is inter anesting option. He was brilliant last season but he need to prove that he is not one season wonder

This kind of game usually happen after International break

Oh you definitely need world class players but the key to united success imo is not just Ronaldo and rooney but they have so many of this hardworking/versatile player that complements the team very well. Park, oshea , Evans, West brown, young , Chica rivo, solksjaer, etc they all are not wc but they complement the team very well

I really like Olivier Giroud, not a clinical finisher but as a target man he is brilliant

This, mane is perfect. direct,powerful running and willing presser

It was pretty obvious hazard did not do much running defending wise. Both in term of pressing and running back whereas pedro did much more. Without the running and the pressing from pedro and costa, we will not be a balance team.

That will destroy the balance in the team. To have a balance team you can only have one player who does not really defend (hazard),
