Pogba still being nerfed by Mourinho. He spent years playing on the left side of a midfield 3, it's where he's at his best. He favours that side to cut in for most of his attacking play, and as part of a 3 he's gets to play a supporting role where he's not dedicated to either defence or attack. He's being totally mismanaged. Pogba's own failing is that when the going gets tough, he doesn't get going.

from a fan: I don't really know why Sky love Jose Mourinho so much when he's responsible for ruining most of their showpiece fixtures.

Just looked at Twitter. FFS FOOTBALL ISN'T ALWAYS EXCITING. SOME GAMES ARE BORING. THAT'S WHY EXCITING ONES STAND OUT. Jeez.

from another fan:
I think most people have seen the relentless hype from sky and was expecting a better game as a consequence

from our mate Lyall:
In what world do Sky have any impact on what happens on the field? Role is to get ppl excited and watching. Success on both counts.

no wonder the viewing figures are so far down. Hype to the point where the product can't deliver. 'Success', but it's fading as people move away from Sky.

In a way Sky just make me want the football bubble to burst. We can watch any game we want nowadays. It's amazing compared to the 80s/90s when there was only 1 game a week but they've gone the other way. There's very little special about watching games on tv nowadays.

Youve got to understand sky. They dont have CL so they gotta draw in the ratings somehow. They live and breathe for this.

So Liverpool being the attacking delight that they are (According to the media) and dead certs to win the league (According to the media and RAWK) and yet they can't even put a goal past that woefully out of form United side at home?

Sure, Liverpool are going to win the league, just like every year, personally I don't even think they will finish top four.

this style, if you can call it that, will be coming our way in December. Hope we've got enough to counter it, and not fall asleep halfway through.

I don't know what you lot expected really, big games rarely deliver especially the ones with a Mourinho team involved.
