if he was shooting at that point but he wasn’t and time didn’t stand still, neither did the defender, it also ignores Pogbas body shape and that the ball isn’t coming onto him. He can’t side foot that any further away from the keeper due to his position. What you’re talking about is what you’d like him to do, not what was possible. When he struck the ball the only better alternative was higher because the angle you see there is closed down by the time he withdrew his leg.
You can also see at the point of striking the ball it’s behind his standing leg and his hips are twisting round already, to get round further would require realigning his body, he didn’t have time to do that.
It’s a shame, he deserved to win us the game but it was good defending to close him down.
What about the Bruno one? That was THE chance.
