Just rewatched it....not being funny but I was expecting some juggling act, he chested it down then tried to knock it away from a player in front of him.....then he turned and seemed to be about to clear it but the player behind him nipped in. Not sure there were options.
No problem with that kind of image at all, it's topical. It's reaction memes and animated gifs that aren't allowed in the football forums.
You have to look at the kind of football we are playing for last 2 games vs what Belgium played(won't even consider Chelsea coz he never played an important role for them and the other two clubs are not elite level).
Was it the also the system at the world cup?
I think it is proper weird as well. Fans trying to one-up each other with their opinions.. I mean what? We all support the same team and this is the theater for the contestation of ideas, yet users are trying to brow beat people into thinking like-mindedly? I definitely find it bizarre. There was a long post not far back that essentially said "have you ever thought that people might think differently to you?" in response to somebody saying they thought he was taking the piss with some of his performances and wasn't as brilliant as everyone kept trying to make everybody think. It was twilight zone stuff, shock horror people have different ideas and see things differently.
He likes players who suck up to him and never question his methods. Those players more often than not are the ones who are the least skilled. A player like Pogba - who arguably is the most naturally gifted in the country - clearly had issues with his methods.
Shall we wait and see plus Ole seemed excited about having him available. For me all he needs to be on the end of the passes and do what he's proven to do better than 90% of the players in this league consistently over a number of years.
Nah I reckon he will wanna retire here... All signs point to him loving being back at Manchester United but found himself unhappy under Mourinho.
Pogba loved us so much that he was scouting out moves last season for January...before Mourinho had any problems with him or was melting down. Coincidentally the first time he was ever dropped came on the 31st Jan 2018 after a shambolic performance against Spurs. You would think the two would be connected.

I agree in general but almost everyone does it. Including you.
People who thought differently to you were labelled sycophants who blindly ignore the obvious, and when the moment suited you, you were quite happy to remind these sycophants how quiet they were.
Oh no question that is the case, lukaku and fellaini prime example. Jose Mourinho is the William Bligh of football manager, and pogba is fletcher Christian, he vouched for pogba when he bought him, relationship sours in February 2018, and it’s chaotic from there.
Why does that matter to you? If you're just ignoring people you don't agree with, why do you care so much that they're now seeing the light - or seeing things how you see them?

Deschamps and Mourinho are both negative managers who set up their teams to defend first and mostly rely on individual brilliance to attack on the counter, the difference is France is littered with world class quality from back to front and they won the whole thing despite their system's limitations.
So now Deschamps too is in on the plot with Mourinho? Two successful managers conspire to limit poor pogba.
Well, obviously because it's quite fun when you see people being proven wrong, no matter how little their opinion matters to you.
Let's be clear, Pogba's behaviour in the aftermath of Mourinho's sacking was anything but classy. One suspects his thanks to Mourinho may indicate that he's feeling a bit sheepish about what he did (or maybe he's taken some of Carrick's observations on board).
You must be arguing with yourself fella, my post says none of the things that seem to have put you in a twist. Hilarious
I'm not fixated on it. People keep answering me, including yourself, so I have answered them.
I’m not peddling any narrative, take the tinfoil hat off. He’s not been the player we’ve needed him to be since he joined in general - never mind this season, a season where his attitude dropped as well as his performances. No chance he’d get away with stuff like this 10/15 years ago.He was one of our best performers this season bar a few games, but don't let me stop you peddling the narrative
No, people from your generation think that too. People from your generation that you know are mostly people who grew up in a similar environment. Most people from your generation didnt grow up in a similar environment. There's plenty of people from your generation on here that don't give a shit about half of that, that you don't even realise are from your generation. The things you value in football aren't based on anything real or important so it's silly to think they would just be how people from an entire generation think about it.
Nah I'm done with it. They weren't prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and were out in full force slating him on these boards after he got labelled a virus and was dropped from the team . Remember when we were supposed to be better because Pogba wasn't slowing things down?
It's almost the end of December and you still believe the whole Adidas IG post was aimed at Mourinho? Okay, not much I can say if you don't believe Pogba, Adidas, or almost anybody who knows Pogba who simply would not do something like that, and never has. He is class personified, and the fact that there's been stories made up about him, false quotes attributed to him, and yet some of you still take any negative stories about him from the press as gospel, well there's not much anyone can do to prove to you otherwise. This is another reason why I'm enjoying his form under the new manager. Still has to show he can do it against the bigger team, but that's a team-wide issue, not singular to Pogba. I will always take the opportunity to defend about the professionalism and class of Pogba because there is a clear agenda to paint him as someone he simply has never been.
Initially true, but it is a lot more forgivable from an attacker to lose the ball and not chase after it, than it is with a midfielder. Not that he should be doing that in dangerous positions anyways like he has been, on a few occasions, but I will certainly be more forgivable with some of his nonchalant shenanigans if he could add goals to his performances to compensate.
