Pogba scores a cracker and nothings mentioned from the Pogba haters?

Imagine the reaction on here if "Bruno" had scored that goal last night, there'd be wet knickers aots.??

Too busy watching a proper match last night :LOL:.

Was it not a deflection? (I haven't seen it so happy to be corrected) Anyway, he has been there for 4 years now, signed for around £90 plus agents fees plus salary. Does anyone think he has given value for money? Anyone think he has been world class for Utd?

If Liverpool could sign Fernandes or Pogba which would you go for?

I know the post was looking for a bite but as a genuine point he has been a bad buy for them. Long may they keep making them.

At £90 Pogba was an absolute steal :LOL:
 
Ha ha, fair point. I suppose he was worth that for his social media presence. His efforts on the pitch :unsure:, less so
Being an Evertonian I expect you will have become quite expert in poor signings over the years.

Too right. Buying in Mr Walsh from Leicester to handle recruitment did not go well for us. He burned through a huge sum of money on a significant number of bog average players. He never blew £90m on one show pony mind, we waste more in the £15-40m category :LOL:

But all things are relative .

Man U "wasting" £90 million is akin to Everton's £30-£35 million.

This is confirmed by your experience with Steve Walsh. He was successful at Leicester operating on a smaller budget and identifying potential rather than proven talent.

True, still wasted though.

Fernandes however was money very well spent by Utd, sadly :LOL:

They could synchronise, practice and refine together?

On a separate point, Villa v Everton may be off at the weekend because Villa's 1st team keep licking each other. If playing the kids was required for the Cup, bring it on for the the PL (y) (this opinion may be somewhat biased and out of self interest)

The way it’s going it must be part of all PL teams training ,diving practice.
As long as they only lick themselves fine.
It’s why they have a big squad .
So play the game or stop football altogether.

Hahahaha stop fishing :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The humble amongst us know we've been on these runs before in recent times and its all turned to poop. Best thing to to is keep quiet so anything said doesn't come back and bite you in the arse.
 
What I don’t understand is the situation is worse than during the first lockdown when football was suspended. Yet they are still playing.

The theory: last year lockdown was a bit of a surprise and nobody was ready for it, but now the clubs have developed well established protocols to operate in a secure environment and thus minimise the risk of infection and transmission.

Of course, this ignores one major factor: the fact that footballers are entitled prima donnas who do whatever they want. I'm being harsh on footballers, this country is full of people who refuse to follow rules for the benefit of others.

Some players definitely have better technique than others. The experts have learnt to leave their trailing foot behind to ensure contact, or put their trail foot behind them so they trip themselves up, which is the most convincing because the player genuinely falls over. They must be practising.

Look Tashyboy don’t need any encouragement to have a wind up and a bit of banter with the Utd fans For obvious reasons. But I have noticed a significant reduction in Utd fans being let’s say “ over exuberant “. Not sure whether it’s due to Utd being rammel for a few years or what. But another thing that surprised me. Ollie has lost 4 semi finals during his Rocky tenure. That tells me there not far off From getting the silver polish out.
Like I said a week ago this weekend clash between Utd and Liverpool and the FA cup could make or break a season. Personally o think the games have come at a better time for Utd than Liverpool.

Vardy is one of the best at winning penalties - he'll bend his run towards a defender's leg so they have no option but to trip him, and then he's straight down. It's an art. Kane does it will too. For me it's distinct from 'diving' though as you manufacture a foul from a lazy defender who hangs a leg out. I consider diving as just throwing yourself down with no contact at all.
