Exactly and that's been the narrative this season with the refs. They've been letting contact go, not all contact means a player will fall over and cause the other player to be at a disadvantage. You can see Neves could clearly carry on playing

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I think it probably was cos he caught him a bit high and you could argue it's reckless. Depends how much we're letting go this season, he only slightly caught him tbf, not like Sounness was saying.
The ability to carry on playing doesn’t determine whether it’s a foul or not.
Neves looked at Dean and went on a couple of steps then dropped to the grass like a bag of potatoes trying to fool Dean.
That was the only good thing that Dean did throughout the match!
It's panto nonsense. Sky encourage this for social media interaction and all that bollocks.
Looks like he only got his shin pads.
Isn't that basically the same as what happened to Bruno in the first half?

What a great guy Pogba is. The Souness narrative really is pathetic.
Fairly clearly barely touched him.
He's being very positive about Ronaldo's potential impact now.
He must've calmed down, he genuinely looked like he was about to have a heart attack 20 mins ago

Sourey has calmed down now.
Praising Ronaldo.
Praising Ronaldo.
He should give one of his shirts to Souness showing him what class means.
Kill them with kindness. Good on him.
Does Graeme have an official twitter account? Would be great if we could just flood his account with Pogba pics all day
Thanks for your input
This.
It was literally your argument.
If it was any other player he would've moved swiftly on. Because it's Pogba it turned into an obsessive rant about legs being broke.
They replayed it 87 times & every single time it looked like he missed Neves.
Souness is such a bitter and sad person.
All those years coming from behing from 7 PL leagues and winning 13 without reply from his team left such deep scars in his intellect.

If it was Milner, Henderson, Thiago, Robertson and the rest of the'Pool hackers then it would not be anything for him.
Careful … no one here wants you to have another heart attack.

The funniest thing is he says “we all played the game, we know it’s a foul”.
I bet he never thought that tackle playing for Rangers was a foul. And he’d be right… it was GBH

You can say that about every challenge ever
He would've been calling Neves a diver in that case.
Imagine if Pogba pulled out of the tackle. Souness would be having a field day calling him a coward. Pogba can't win with him.
He grazed his shin pad! This is boiling down to I saw his shin pad move a little.
He is so jealous of him it's insane haha
He hasn't been the same since Winton passed.
It was definitely a foul but the "leg breaker" stuff was completely ridiculous.
agreed. football has become way too much about players looking for fouls instead of trying to carry on first.
he wasn’t hurt, he realised he lost the ball and decided to try and invent a foul.
well done mike dean.
Come on Graeme, time to move on now you're getting so boring.
First time I've agreed with Souness. He didnt say anything untrue about Pogba, just that he had a bad touch, they both went for the ball - It happens.
IT is a free kick and its poor from the ref and VAR. But glad they fecked up. Huge 3 points.

I dont know why anyone bothers with what he has to say.
just realised who Sounness reminds me of now - my old man
just completely random bursts of anger that come out of no where, that are totally out of context and tone for pretty much everything that's come before
