Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

the amount of abuse pogba gets is insane

he really does bring it all on himself. He's a pretty average footballer who's grown up in the right era for him. Imagine him being around in the 70's, he'd be kicked off the field so hard he'd be playing sunday league.

Pogba is a pretty average footballer, he just happened to grow up in the right era? Is this era the era of average footballers? Or are better footballers those who can deal with getting kicked?

Maurice Moss would be a better referee than Jon Moss

era of average footballers who are also very over protected.

They should just make the person fouled take the penalty. End this "who should take it?" stuff.

Maybe thats what United are doing haha, didn't Rashford get fouled v Chelsea and take and tonight Pogba

That's what I thought they were doing and then Gary Neville just went completely nuts and now I'm confused.

... He also courts publicity though too, so the more in the public eye you are, you're going to get the bad with the good. I think the level of hype around him exceeds his actual footballing ability. He's a good footballer, certainly nothing great.

Players and fans are going to be afraid to celebrate goals soon in case a player was 1 cm offside, or the ball brushed the arm of a footballer or a player farted on another in the box!

That's not going to happen.

 

[abcdef]

That's not going to happen.

It has and it will.

The last three City goals at West Ham weren't celebrated (by the fans, at least). By Christmas, the vast majority of match-going fans of any PL club will hate VAR for this reason. The Neves goal last night was unquestionably spoilt.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Solskjaer shows an alarming lack of decisiveness if he allows Pogba and Rashford to decide almost by committee who should take a pen.

Pogba has missed a few, Rashford then converted against Chelsea, a decision to give the duties to Rashford looked eminently sensible.

To allegedly have it decided between the two on who wanted it most smacks of poor management to me

 

[Cool_Blue]

And tonight the Ego mugs him.

This is a sign of weak management. Rashford takes pens like Shearer used to.

Agreed. Bit like that Brighton goal ruled out, just how far back in a move is VAR going to go?

And Pogba takes them like my nan.

Absolutely nothing to fear from Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U, Wolves, Leicester. We should be targeting 4th this season.

Those teams fans will be saying the same about us mate.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Those teams fans will be saying the same about us mate.

The difference is that three of those teams are relatively used to finishing in the top 4 and for those to be included in the same category of teams not to fear is notable, for them to think we're nothing to fear isn't.
