This didn't happen. And football player are dispossessed and misplace passes there is nothing special about it, they also sometime show frustration particularly at themselves. From what I see, you are one of the people that live in their made up Pogba world.
Oh please...
I can't take you seriously after saying that it never happened! So will not bother replying to you again. Seems you are a fanboi and I have triggered you by not agreeing with your opinion, Sorry man...Yeah he's the greatest, hardest working player for Utd and you are lucky to have him...he deserves to be worshipped! Btw we know that players give the ball away, and when they do I wanna see him busting a gut to get the thing back like James does, like McTom does, like proper hardworking pro's do...not just stand there waving his arms around in fustration, even if it is at himself...there is no room for that at Utd, you mess up thats Ok, just make sure you react instantly to try your best to fix the mistake. Not rocket science!
How was he ''too big for his boots, taking the ball off the penalty taker''? He was the penalty taker. He took them all last season.
''Misplacing passes and wandering around the pitch as if he wasn't interested''? He actually regularly tops our team for distance covered and pass accuracy, so where does this come from?
It sounds to me like you listen way too much to the media.
Funny, Rash was on penalty duties the previous games and looked as though he was going to take it until Pogs started throwing his weight around. Everyone commented on it at the time, even Ole, but Ole being his diplomatic self papered over it but it was unmistakable that he shouldn't have done that. I watch him play you can run round all day and cover lots of ground, but if he's not doing it at the right times i.e when he is dispossed then whats the point?
This ‘scruff of the neck’ thing again. This is another of the fundamental issues people have with Pogba. This idea of a midfielder winning games for the team regularly. The likes of City and Liverpool are great teams, a fair bit better than us in recent seasons. When a team is 20-30 points better than you, expecting one player to run the game against them is far fetched.
No, I am not saying he needs to win games single handedly. I am saying he needs to be busting a gut for the team. Scott McTom takes the game by the scruff of the neck, he puts in an incredible effort and it rubs off on players. Same with James, Bissaka, Rashford ect. Utd need guys like Pogba to set the bar in this respect. He is the best player. He was the leader on the pitch that these young lads look to for inspiration, he needs to step up and inspire them through his sheer will and determination to make things better. This is what makes the great players great and what makes them legends!
We haven't been a very good team for years though. There's only so much one player can do. He as a cm, was top for goals/assists/chances created last season. What more output can a cm actually have? Carrick was part of a fully functioning team that contained top players and leaders. I'm glad you brought up Carrick. He not once, carried as much responsibility on the team as Pogba has. When was Carrick ever expected every match to control matches, as well as score goals, create chances & tackle?
What poor form under Ole? At the time he was injured, in the PL, he had created the same amount of chances as the rest combined, in less minutes.
Minutes played to chances created:
1363 – McTominay (6), Lingard (4), Fred (3) and Matić (0)
450 – Pogba (13)
He was played as defensive midfielder this season too.
Why do i need to remind you how Mourinho was causing trouble? It's well known, did you even watch us at all last season?
Stepping up? You mean like last season where he inspired the comeback vs City scoring 2? When Mourinho was on the brink of being sacked, he inspired the comeback vs Newcastle last season. He doesn't 'sulk' at all. That's very lazy criticism.
This is my point. He is very capable of being an amazingly fanstastic player and one of the best players in the world and has the skillset to remembered as a legend in the same way as Scholes and Keane...but it's no good just playing to that level
when he can be arsed. When the chips are down this is when you need your top guys to rally the troops and inspire them to be better.
The fact remains Utd this season look a much better team who are up for a fight without Pogba. Everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. I hope he has taken note of this while he has been out. I really hope he has reset his attitude, comes back with a fresh mentality and gives his everything for the club and shows everyone that he really is the ultimate midfielder in the world. I don't hate him, like is trying to be made out. I think hes a good player...but he could be so much better!
