If the stats above are correct Pogba has missed 3 out of 8 from the spot, that's nearly half, maybe its time for him to be undesignated

Random tweet from a nobody :confused:

perhaps it will change, or perhaps we don't have anyone better, Mata is not a cemented starter, and maybe the team is happy with Pogba taking them?

the original tweet is from a journalist and illustrating that Lukaku has been passed over for pens before, even when Mourinho was here. And again, Lukaku himself said he wanted Pogba to take it (respecting the hierarchy, and not caring about this hat trick thing fans seem to be stuck on)
 
Was at the game, and I thought he was class in the deeper role. Since the injuries to Herrera and Matic he's had to adapt his game and not be as gung-ho in his play and he really sacrificed himself for the cause.
 
He was fine yesterday. Are we really going to be at the point where if he doesn’t have a worldie he’s bad?

Needs to work on his penalties though, I never feel confident with him. I prefer my penalty takers in the Denis Irwin/Eric Cantona mould personally.
 
Pogba is better than Lukaku at pens, even with a weird run up

If we were 5-0 you could make a case for a player on a brace getting it, but not at 3-2
 
With the grief he's currently getting Lukaku is hardly likely to come out and say he was pissed at Pogba for not giving him he penalty was he ?

So it's better for you to imagine things and make your own narrative ?

Right on. He only 'seemed' quiet because with the more advanced role he has been in with the whole squad fit saw him become feckin Superman. Assists left and right, diving header goals and all.

The only criticism , and this is significant, is the hair. I want Pogboom...not Sisqo.
 
So, wasn't the original tweet that Lukaku was happy for Pogba to take the penalty from a journalist that works for the Sun ?

I dont know what was posted before that but Lukaku in an interview said he wanted Pogba to take penalty. So you can forget which paper reported it as it was from the man himself.
 
14 goals and 14 assists in 35 games! Imagine if he had played like this all season. Potential seriously sounds scary as he could easily be on 20 goals + 20 assists.

We need to build a team around him, Martial, and Rashford. What it also means is we should have good backups to Herrera and Matic (both) so that we don't limit Pog when one or both are injured. I hope McTominay and Pereira can step up and be the backup for Matic and Herrera respectively. If Fred doesn't come good, cut losses and get one more CM.

What interview ? Was it after the bust up ? And my argument still stands Lukaku was unlikely to come out and say he was pissed at Pogba for not offering him the chance to score a hat-trick.

Interview where he said he wanted Pogba to take penalty.

Not sure how your argument stands as it's your assumption vs what player said.

On what platform, and how long after the game ?

the root of the words is 'sume' which is to take or use. The pre and as are the prefix to that root. per means 'before and as is ad which it 'towards' Thus the two word are time dependent. One has history and one has future. presumption is guess based on knowledge whereas assumption is to pull it out of you hindquarters. :lol:

:lol::lol:
Using the Sun as a main source, very reliable yeah. You're just filled with hatred for Pogba @Class of 63 You hate our best player, you must be throwing up watching our games.

It's like he's stuck in 2013. Pogba has just recently left United so the pain is fresh in the memory and Alcantara is considered the next big thing
 
In all your posts regarding Pogba. Going as far as using a media, known for fabricating stories, to validate an opinion that no one can be sure of with any certainty.

Exaggerate much, i've been known to go hyperbolic in my praise of the lad at times when he performs to the level we all know he can, disturbingly sometimes whilst actually sober.

Not even sure where you are going with.

Yes, you assumed Lukaku had problem with Pogba when player himself said he wanted Pogba to take penalty and it was after the game in post match interview.

And somehow defended Fellaini when even his mother wouldn't do :lol:
 
After the match, Lukaku admitted he wanted Pogba to take the penalty, saying: “I am a striker and I wanted Paul Pogba to score the penalty, he has been on a good run but he has been an important player for us and will bounce back."

But yeah, Lukaku had problem with Pogba.

Fans can like and dislike any player they want, it's their choice after all.

I know what you mean ;)

Not assuming at all, just stating the fact that Lukaku would not have come out and said he had a problem with Pogba taking the penalty, even if he was still steaming....

Or he didnt have a problem as he wasn't a regular penalty taker (who also have poor record) and match was far from over.

He could still say something like "I wanted to take the pen because I'm a goalscorer, it'd have been nice to complete the hat trick bla bla bla but in the end it's Pogba's role" if he truly had an issue with it.
There are many different ways he could have mentioned him being in taking the pen without burning any bridge with his teammate.

Exactly. It's as simple as that

Yeah, Sisqo Pogba has been a curse :lol:
