Why do I constantly hear this myth, he has taken United for a ride for at least a season now. How he gets backed, I simply don't get.
Maybe because Pogba has shown he is twice the player and done it on bigger stages that Ndombele hasnt got anywhere near just yet? Take United out of the equation and tribalism its easy to see that. Ndombele a player who 6 months ago couldnt get a kick at Spurs as well

Pogba is a massively talented player, don't get me wrong but IMO his attitude stinks and I don't get how he gets such an easy ride.
You think he’s getting an easy ride? He really isn’t . Read the papers, social media etc

Well Pogba is 4 years older.

Easy ride. Right.... ok

I dont quite see it, Ole gets far more shit. Social media? :lol: He is getting criticized for a reason, he clearly doesn't give a shit, for a player of his calibre he should be leading the United line.

Exactly so its not surprising some says he is twice the player is it? Maybe it can be revisited laster but there is no doubt about it right now. Especially not for 4 months of decent form from Ndombele

Open your eyes. He is the most polarising player on this forum. Some of his own fans targeted him at a game not that long ago

The ball is mainly getting pinballed around in midfield. Kane and Werner haven't had too much to do or work with.

UK, hun?
I know people have been blowing smoke up Ndombele's arse in this thread but feck me, I've just seen him fluff two extremely simple passes. Also, since when does Pogba get an easy ride?! This is the guy that caused the Great Famine of 1315 by going to his brother's wedding and getting a haircut, yeah?

It is early days but I'll take a 0-0 draw here and have both teams drop points.

I could name easily 3-4 other players who get more shit, and give more effort.
On this forum? You would be wrong. Pogba hasnt even been playing and is being mentioned

Not to forget the flu epidemic of 1918

Bahahahhahahahahaha are you serious? Cavani is a good player but, would you swap him for Kane?
It is a silly comparison since Cavani is 33 and Kane is 27.

That said, I wouldn't call Cavani just a good player.

BBC had a stat that over the past decade, he had scored the 3rd most goals behind the big 2 in Ronaldo and Messi and tied with Zlatan. And obviously fantastic accomplishments with Uruguay winning a Copa America and a 3rd place at the WC.

Not to mention he actually has a trophy cabinet. Kane is still yet to go to IKEA to buy his. It’s only walking distance from WHL

Maguire, Wan Bisakka, Mata?
Mata gets no criticism. He is an extremely likeable fella and everyone has gotten used to his limitations. AWB gets very little criticism either.

Top 3 are Maguire, Pogba and Martial with DDG in a clear 4th spot.

'tis a silly place
Spurs playing 7-2-1 formation when Chelsea have the ball. Impressive discipline, even if there are only 2 Chelsea players in their box at any given time.

No, most people would happily get rid of Mata from what I read, but Pogba deserves more time.
Mata's pretty much an afterthought for most fans, most acknowledge he's past his best but that's about it. Mata does not get more criticism than Pogba, it's absurd, we have threads dedicated to the positives of getting rid of Pogba. The only United player who gets anywhere near as much hate is Lingard.

Seems like nothing is happening in this one. 45 minutes of nothing.

A draw would probably be decent for both teams since Liverpool dropped points as well.
