Shootouts tend to be whoever sticks their hand up to take one. Maybe he didn't fancy himself?Can anyone explain why one of our two nominated penalty takers didn’t take a penalty tonight?
I can appreciate that, but I’m not sure that’s an attitude I’d want at United.Shootouts tend to be whoever sticks their hand up to take one. Maybe he didn't fancy himself?
The stick he would have gotten if he'd missed would have been much bigger than any of the other lads who stepped up to be fair. Not excusing him, but I kinda get it.
Completely disagree. I think he cares about the club a lot, but he also cares about his own career unsurprisingly and wants to be a success, he knows that isn't going to happen if he stays here.I have a feeling that Pogba is just a body in this team. He is here because he must be here but in his head he doesn't have any emotion for this club. In his first season he was all over the pitch, fighting, celebrating goals, he played with passion. Now, he just does his job as a football player. Like a robot
I'd imagine there were no managerial instructions. Just whoever wants to take it and the players decide on the pitch. You know..as always.Can anyone explain why one of our two nominated penalty takers didn’t take a penalty tonight?
Yes, i meant that. I know that in general he likes this club but now he is not bothered with results because of his own career. In his head he wants to go. And i don't blame him. If i am him, player who can play for any other team and win titles, i would put transfer request last summer. I mean, it is normal that for him his own career is more important than club.Completely disagree.

Pogba was injured at the end last night. He could barely move for the final couple of minutes. Did this not come across on TV?Can anyone explain why one of our two nominated penalty takers didn’t take a penalty tonight?
The game wasn't on tv.Pogba was injured at the end last night. He could barely move for the final couple of minutes. Did this not come across on TV?
One was injured and didn't feature in the game for starters.Can anyone explain why one of our two nominated penalty takers didn’t take a penalty tonight?
Hopefully it was just a knock as he was last off the pitch with Ole last night, rather than a muscle injury, but he moved real slow trying to keep a ball in play near the Rochdale goal line and then was stranded in the centre circle for the final minute or so.The game wasn't on tv.
It;s ridiculous he played all 90. Watch him not play vs Arsenal now.
It's difficult to tell if that's because Pogba picked up an injury or because Pogba spends lots of the game walking anyway though, isn't it?Hopefully it was just a knock as he was last off the pitch with Ole last night, rather than a muscle injury, but he moved real slow trying to keep a ball in play near the Rochdale goal line and then was stranded in the centre circle for the final minute or so.
You're hilarious, such wit!It's difficult to tell if that's because Pogba picked up an injury or because Pogba spends lots of the game walking anyway though, isn't it?
I wasn't really joking tbf. Pogba is certainly not the most high action player you've ever seen, and does have a slightly odd gait which looks a bit like a limp anyway. Combine that with the fact it was his first 90 for a while and I didn't see any obvious sign that he'd picked up an injury, rather than just being normal Pogba.You're hilarious, such wit!
No, he clearly picked up a knock or something near the end. We weren't surprised to not see him take a pen given the other options.
It's his style, Berbatov was often lambasted for that.You're hilarious, such wit!

I might be wrong. Have been before, but can only share what two of us noted last night.I wasn't really joking tbf.

Not saying you're wrong; just that if you're right it wasn't obvious and is an excellent spot.
Was sadly right on this one. Ole confirmed during press conference.Pogba was injured at the end last night. He could barely move for the final couple of minutes. Did this not come across on TV?
Fair play, you were spot on.I might be wrong. Have been before, but can only share what two of us noted last night.
