I don't know what his successful conversion rate is but he's missed a few that's for sure. He just doesn't look like a natural penalty taker hence the stupid run up and you could have put good money on him missing it yesterday when he for selfish reasons deprived Lukaku of the chance to complete a hat-trick by taking it.

And he's been poor for the last two games. As the unofficial best midfielder in the world, and one of, if not the highest paid he is allowed to take responsibility on the pitch when we've got important players missing, but he's not doing that, and for those that say he looks tired maybe he should take a look at old videos of Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Roy Keane and Brian McClair and look at the effort they put in season in, season out and in a midfield two as well, none of this three in midfield to share the workload nonsense.
Drivel. Pure, uncut, drivel.

Pogba has played a bit too much recently, it's only natural if his form has dipped a bit.

I'm not that sad that i'd click on report, but i'm sure you are aware that ^^^^^ is on the do not use list.

Stay classy mate.


Funny how Lukaku keep saying this but when Sun makes up things, people believe it.

Lukaku calling out Sun BS, which you used to back up your point.
I shouldn't need to back it up though, in post #7832 in reply to @kouroux post I said With the grief he's currently getting Lukaku is hardly likely to come out and say he was pissed at Pogba for not giving him he penalty was he ?

The numerous articles about the alleged bust up came out 30+ hours after my comment above, now if i'd read said articles then commented fair enough, but the timeline is there for all to see.

And unless it's been updated recently that tweet was about his partner/kids, and nothing to do with the penalty.

Didn't you post series of articles which copied news from Sun? Whether you posted it first or Sun posted it first, Lukaku has denied it twice, once after post match, once on twitter. You are just looking for some fight that's not there.

I don't know how you know that tweet is about his partner/kids, I haven't read anything about it.

I don't do twitter so I don't know what he's said on there, and his post match comments, whatever he said you don't have to take it as Gospel you know, just out of interest did you believe the post match comments from the players when to a man they said they were all behind Mourinho when it was bloody obvious they weren't ?

Eh ? I know it's about his partner/kids because I clicked on the video in the link you supplied.

I believe players than what fans on some forum assume based on some body language. It's not even post match, it's on his social media, he found lies being spread and he took time to shit on it. It's obvious to anyone except you maybe.

What video? I posted his twitter message where he says "When the hate don’t work they start telling lies.."

Far too much being made of the penalty miss yesterday. When a keeper saves with his trailing leg it’s a lucky save. Even Messi has missed a few penalties in his time.
Messi is bad at penalties to be fair. The only reason why he keeps getting them is to keep him happy, otherwise he would have sent off penalty duties many years ago.

Pogba is bad too. He has lost 3 and scored one from rebound (out of 8 penalties), which under new rules wouldn't have counted. That is losing half of the penalties. He should either improve on them, or someone else to get them (probably Martial). He is not as good as Messi to give him whatever he wants, and we cannot afford losing half of the pens to keep him happy.

What you should do is be very skeptical about a story based on the Sun regarding 2 players who have gotten along very well since before they even joined up at Man United. It says something about you that you'd even entertain this as being possibly true.

Right on. He only 'seemed' quiet because with the more advanced role he has been in with the whole squad fit saw him become feckin Superman. Assists left and right, diving header goals and all.

The only criticism , and this is significant, is the hair. I want Pogboom...not Sisqo

So it's better for you to imagine things and make your own narrative ?
Indeed. Cant believe we have someone convinced their's internal discord when literally straight after the game Lukaku said he wanted Pogba to take the penalty

:lol: Like I said you are a troll and for your sake hopefully you are one.

No one can be this stupid.
Says the poster who embeds(or whatever the word is)a tweet onto a forum #7886 and if you click on that link(i'm guessing that's the idea, or what would be the friggin point)there's a 30+ second video of Lukaku in the back of a taxi talking about his fondness for a certain newspaper, and yet you keep asking me what video, give me strength....

Do you even know how twitter works? That video wasn't posted by Lukaku. That was some fan reply to Lukaku's post and that video is Lukaku talking about racism (not his partner or kid ffs) towards him. Lukaku's post was about media spreading lies, news spread by Sun which you posted few hours back.

Can't believe I have to teach some guy how twitter works :lol:

Also it's obvious Custis is a cnut who hates Pogba and posted lot of shit articles about him since Jose was sacked.

Well I did say a few posts back I don't do Twitter, and you did ask what video an hour after i'd watched it(with the sound down)whilst I was multitasking, I thought you were suggesting there was no video, not the content of it, my bad

ps. I'd worked out it wasn't tweeted by Lukaku, but some geezer called Kriss

This is what I love about RedCafe, getting educated on how the British press works by somebody 24 years my junior, from Djibouti :lol::lol:

I don't actually have to live in the UK to know how certain journals work, which century are you from ? I've rarely seen someone as weird as you on the caf and that is saying something.

Apparently he offered the penalty to Lukaku who didn't want it. And people hear tried to blame Paul who had every right to take it.

People just want to hate him which is strange since he is our undisputed best outfield player by a country mile.

Wish the fans showed him more love than they do.

Also at training in Paris with the squad tonight when again one could argue he had every right to stay back with his baby since he is suspended.

Both Lukaku and Pogba shat on the Sun's fabricated story.
