Schmeichel's Cartwheel
Correctly predicted Italy to win Euro 2020
By a clear distance. Him & Cavani need to play every game. We need technical ability.Still the best player at the club .. by far !

See that’s why I think it was a poor finish. Allison didn’t save it. The ball hit him. He didn’t even spread himself and block it with an arm or leg. It smashed him dead centre. Couldn’t have avoided the ball if he wanted to.I still think classing it a sitter is been hard on Pogba, if he'd gone across the goal then I'm sure it gets blocked, and he only has a split second to think even after his perfect first touch, most players put their head down and whack in that situation, which he did, and most keepers aren't Alisson so it goes in, thems the breaks, for all Brunos chance maybe wasn't quite the same, he still didn't hit as well as he could have.
I'll 100 % agree with you on that.See that’s why I think it was a poor finish. Allison didn’t save it. The ball hit him. He didn’t even spread himself and block it with an arm or leg. It smashed him dead centre. Couldn’t have avoided the ball if he wanted to.
No big deal though. We’ve had much worse misses already this season. And Pogba player very well overall.
This is what I don’t get....Bruno’s chance was by far THE chance. Again Sky create a narrative using Pogba. Bruno was five yards out and could’ve done anything but what he did. The only thing Pogba could’ve done differently after great control was get more height on it.He could also have hoofed it over the bar, turned back and tried to be clever, booted it at Alisson's head instead, I'd say it was a chance a player more likely the scores than not for sure, but Keane would have you think it was an open goal he's missing, I think Brunos chance could at least be classed on a par with this one.
I think it was the run that got Ole the manager's job permanently.He's been very good for the last 3 to 4 games.
Is this his best spell for us?
Absolutely not no. I’d say it’s more typical of his general form but not his best form.He's been very good for the last 3 to 4 games.
Is this his best spell for us?
His best spell for us was probably that stretch where he and Martial kept Mourinho in the job. He was pretty good his first two years here, really.He's been very good for the last 3 to 4 games.
Is this his best spell for us?
No, it's Luke Shaw.Still the best player at the club .. by far !
I think a simple answer is he finally gets steady run of games with full fitness in a better team than Mourinho's.Bit of a conundrum now with Paul, is he playing above himself for a new contract? Or is this is real level when playing in a functioning team?
I think that was the set up. We used Pogba higher up the pitch to bypass the press sometimes and it worked.As i said in the match day thread, those chest controls and flick ons from the long balls were Fellani-esque
New tactic and I'm not even joking here is to have Pogba more central with Fellani/Zlatan-ball. Full on pragmatic mode.
He clearly looks much fitter now. He used to be substituted too fast a few weeks ago. Now he can maintain a good level throughout the entire gameBack on a topic...Pogba was very good. Looks like a different player, movaited and playing for the team again.
Seems Covid had a bigger impact than we thought, he finally looks fit again. I hope he leaves us with a league win.
I think he's just not a natural at it. Some players, in some situations, you already know who's likely to score or who isn't. Had that been Bruno or even Cavani there, I'd have expected better.I don't understand why Pogba is such a bad finisher though. Seems to have good shooting technique and power but I never really fancy him to score. He hits in the odd long range effort but when presented with a good chance, he doesn't really know what to do.
Still, I thought he was really good.
Not really, it was better to put it floor level by the first post, like de bruyne against chelsea a few games backThis is what I don’t get....Bruno’s chance was by far THE chance. Again Sky create a narrative using Pogba. Bruno was five yards out and could’ve done anything but what he did. The only thing Pogba could’ve done differently after great control was get more height on it.
Could’ve scored or should have scored a goal. I’m sure he would like that opportunity again, low and to the keepers right it’s in the back of net. Should have done better.Brilliant and fully committed yesterday. Good to have a player of his caliber on song when bruno is not on top of his game. Was everywhere on the pitch and could've scored a goal too.
That would be when Ole was caretaker. He was excellent then for about 3 monthsHe's been very good for the last 3 to 4 games.
Is this his best spell for us?
Based on what? He is played out of position to accomodate the likes of Fred playing in midfield.Still the best player at the club .. by far !
