Pogba should stand up the pressure then, much easier than changing his life style.
Can we judge a player's commitment to the sport from his social media?

Exactly, the party lifestyle of footballers has always been prevalent for many decades now.
But pogba changes his hair and dances and takes pictures/videos of it and he has to remain focused on football, 24/7.
Yeah, and the media love to focus on them as they provide plenty of material.
Yeah the story goes Giggs and Sharpe were at a house party and somehow Fergie got word of it and stormed in and called it a night.
Giggs for a brief period was Beckham before Beckham. He obviously learnt to keep his private life to family. Literally.
Posting on social media doesn’t indicate that football isn’t their number one priority.
No, it isn't. Not even close.
I haven't sensationalised anything. I've wondered whether he has been too distracted. I haven't written him off as a player, I haven't said he outright doesn't have any hunger in him whatsoever and I haven't suggested he's some sort of Depay character who doesn't give a feck.
I've just wondered whether he has prioritised bettering his form as much as he should. There is nothing sensationalist in it. Gary Neville/Garth Crooks will use derogatory words like "embarassing" and such to grab headlines/clicks. I've done none of that.
I never said it did.
Blue hair? You know who plays in blue? That's right... Birmingham City.
The problem with social media is it gives mainstream media their best angle to sentationise for headlines and is even better click bait across the interwebs.
What does being Irish have to do with it?
He's referring to Roy Keane, you Massive Spanner.What does being Irish have to do with it?
Well obviously not.
It's funny seeing people question a professionals commitment when they're posting from behind a desk at their office. All the while they're probably not even in the top 20th percentile of their profession.

Bizzare post - hard work alone doesn't get you in the top 20th percentile.
Social media posts have nothing to do with social media? I appear to have fallen into a parallel universe.
If a player is going out getting pissed and putting pictures on Instagram, it's not the putting pictures on Instagram that's the issue. Obviously.
Which is clearly what the OP meant. That we'd judge their commitment by seeing what they're doing outside of the game through the use of social media. Referencing the haircut is a clear example of this?
So is it easy or not?
He's garbage today, but this doesn't change the fact that his life on social media has nothing to do with it.
I'm using social media posts to infer whether he has distractions in his life.
Could it be that he has allowed many distractions (whether its the rap the fashion the haircuts or whatever) to take his focus away from his game? Or is it that he's simply not that good. The latter is also plausible given he was never a 90m player even at Juve.
He's just not a big games player imo. He seems to always performs well to great against midtable clubs and any other games but never shows up in big games. Sadly enough when you pay 89m, he should be dominating such games, which is pretty underwhelming.
He has zero excuses today too, with the 4-3-3 everyone crying for is being played.
No fecking way
Maybe. But this season he hasn't been any type of game player.
I'm only talking about him making a show of himself with his hair, and the added pressure that attention-seeking brings.
You're shifting the goalposts and contradicting yourself constantly.
Is is easy for Pogba to stand up to pressure as you claimed, or is it impossible as you claimed a few minutes later?
I don't know what's your problem.
The thread is talking about social media and its effect on players if he gets distracted by it. I said no relation. The player is garbage because he's garbage. Don't twist it.
If you believe if Pogba closes his accounts and decreased the pressure on him he'll turn to world beater, you're deluded.
You replied to my specific comment about him making a show of himself and then changed the goalposts and contradicted yourself.
He is a world beater. But only when he's not feeling the pressure. Anything he can do to lessen that is a good thing.
Are you for real ? you're the one quoted my post from the very start. I was replaying to McGrathsipan and you decided to replay to me. No one was quoting you, mate.
Let's be honest if I didn't make this thread Pogba wouldn't have read it and score 2 goals.
feck off cnut bags
Lets be honest you just said it to save your face.
Said what
Glad I linked the lad to this thread.

@Massive Spanner @cyberman I thought angry Irish midfielder would give it away. I was talking about Keane
Unless they post videos of them getting smashed the night before a game, or write stuff like "i don't give a feck about football, i'm in this for the easy life 
"
Then no
"Then no
Was Gary still bitching about his hair after the game ended?
Doesn’t reflect their commitment to their team but certainly reflects their intelligence.
The irony here is otherworldly.
