If Blind goes for the ball there Pogba is past him and gone. Blind played that perfectly.
So you are 2-0 down with 10 minutes to go. You need to get a result in order to have a decent shot at qualification for the World Cup. Basicly, you are telling me that as a defender, you just allow to let time tick away when you opponent is ball hogging in the corner of the pitch, because if you try something it might be possible that he skips by? I have a different view then.
My use of words is not the best, as I do not mean Blind should be trying to get that ball back on his own, which I might have implied in my response. Others should have pitched in sooner or should have coached him that there is cover behind him, allowing him to take some more risk.
But it's nonsense to say that 'Pogba did not get anywhere'. Like I said, he is 2-0 up and is just showboating a bit and won another 20 easy seconds there without being challenged.
If it was France that was 2-0 behind, Pogba would have tried something to get past Blind. Now he simply did not need to and just took it easy.
I do not believe in any way that you will applaude our defenders efforts when we are 1-0 down against City, and for instance Sane is winning crucial time in a manner similar to this.
