No argument from me on that score - regardless of the bloke who has quoted you - We get done from most aerially balls - whether they end up in a goal, is another matter - but the fact is we do - doesn't mean other than that we are a very solid unit.

Read what I said properly before posting as i never said we didn't have the best or worst defence did I, what I said was that we struggle to deal with set pieces or balls into the box anywhere where there is an aerial dual which is true, please read carefully before posting as your accusing people of things people they are not saying.
I understood exactly what you wrote.
If we've had the best defence in the league for the last two seasons, how can we be so bad at dealing with balls in the air?
Please explain.

Mate you have watched the same fucking games I have it is self evident that we struggle with balls into the box, check out today again and wednesdy nights game for proof of it.
As for explaining I don't have to but you can send in a request to Mr pochettino who is best placed to explain why.
Doesn't mean that every aerial ball we don't deal with ends in a goal lol - we may clear the second ball or it may just come to nothing. But i have to agree we are not as commanding in the air at the back, just my opinion.

We have taken a step towards it but nights like what happened midweek and that game today suggest we are still some way from being the completed article, regardless of the fantastic results we have achieved under Poch so far.
Just can't see a weakness in the air, that's all.
Our defence has looked watertight for years now, really can't see what you're complaining about.

They reportedly gave him £100k per week, regardless of any clause he ain’t coming here without halving that

Surprised poch changed the back 3. Think dier and Dele seem undroppable. Dele should have been hooked second half.

Eriksen was the only one to not to perform against Madrid. Same today apart from one pass. Thought he might have come off. Sissoko wa certainly as good

Jamie Redknapp was right...we did not believe we could win. Nothing to do with Harry who has played in the last three games at Utd when we have lost them all and not scored a goal
We are missing something in the middle of the park.Tbh I think that’s the area that could complete the puzzle.I like winks but he needs an aggressive partner to compliment his silky style. I’m not up enough on World football to know who that is.But basically the player United Thought they were buying in Pogba. A real driving force like a young dembele but with goals/assists. I know it’s asking a lot ,but really think that is the key area to becoming champions.
Not too disappointed by this result. We are not good enough to go through the season unbeaten, at least we worked hard today and actually created a chance we should've scored.
Still genuinely angry about that disastrous midweek result though, still cannot get over how incompetent our performance was.

If we were to move for him next summer, I think we would match his current wages. I think we will have some extra wriggle room once we move into the new stadium.

Is he really worth a lot more than some of our players who’ve proven more than he ever has? Even with taking into account wages adjustments for our own said players
