vs Stoke

[dozer]

ffs people's views in here are too polarised.
Be pleased that we did well in this game. Pogba had a fantastic game.
But that doesn't mean that Pogba is Zidane mkII. We're not newcastle supporters.

[Alfonso Bedoya]

Dozer gets it!

Mata frustrates me. Lovely to watch at times, clever, good awareness. But fuck me it's like he's running through treacle all the time.

[dozer]

Mata is mediocre but a useful squaddie.
He can't come off the bench and change the game, but we need a decent squad to cover for injuries.
We can't expect to have 22 top quality players. We need the average joes in Mata and Herrera.
It's the liabilities like Jones, Smalling and Rojo that need going.

Aye Dozer

The Jose FC fans argument is 'we need to have 22 world class players before you can judge' and it's a load of shit

[Lazarus]

Wot???? Pogba is no Zidane? Nobodie's said that here before....

[swampash]

All credit to those who kept on defending Pogba early on when some of us, me especially, were unconvinced. I still reckon though that the key to unlocking his potential was the arrival of Matic.

[Sid]

Matic needs a rest, aye. But Jose has already bought two defenders, one of em's a crock the other is shite. Is 400m not enough

[redzebs]

Matic has been shite the last month tbf, plus that winter break excuse didn’t go down well seeing as he’s been in England for three fuckin years.

He needs to step up.

Mata mediocre lolol.

Play him in any decent team at 10 and he kills it. It’s like saying Pogba is shite in nets.
