Pogba's social media post was a scheduled event - Neville and .Rossi take note!

Hm, him not congratulating his star player on the great success but instead going forward with cryptic crap "he should ask himself why he was successful" is somehow not a subtle dig at Pogba?

Was it hard to say "good job Paul" or anything instead of things he said? If nothing he should have done it for the sake of peace in the house.

Disagree hugely but have had this conversation many times. Pogba has been a disaster.
 
Yeah, except Pogba covers the most ground after Fred and Lingard. Has been out best outfield player, this season and last. Has said to the press that we need to play the Man Utd way (which Neville and the boys do on a weekly basis).

This is the same bloke who has backed Moyes, LVG and Mourinho. Yet he's in a position to call anyone out? Now that it's come out that it is a marketing picture and the reason it was taken down was because it would be seen as disrespectful, do you think G Nev should apologise?

No i dont unless little Paul throws another hissy fit like when he didbt get his public 'attaboy from mourinho in summer. If you think Pogbas behaviour and performances in the last year are worthy of the club good luck to you.
 
My take on Pogba is that he has everything to be a star but sometimes he wants to do everything by himself. He can make a great move and then minutes after a horrible one cause he acts too sure of himself or over complicates things. Oh and sometimes he plays too casually for my liking. Of course some of it can be attributed to Jose but we will see. I think his head will be his undoing so to speak. Of course I hope he'll buckle up and prove he was worth the money.

My take is that Pogba is a magnificent player. He's got all the tools he needs to become better then Zidane, Maradona and Scholes. Whether he's got the football intelligence and the character to do so is up to question. Having said that, he's still be a top player nevertheless, maybe not WC, but still a very relevant player.

I understand the likes of Scholes criticising him. For someone who had to work so hard to get there (inches problem, asthma, competition from Beckham, Veron, Gerrard and Lampard). However, while I do agree that Pogba should have done better with United under Mourinho, I reserve my criticism about his attitude after the next manager had settle down. As said its not as if Pogba was the only player who regressed under Mourinho, most of our players did. Also while Pogba had been praised by all his former managers (including Conte whose a bigger Ahole then Mourinho), this is the third consecutive dressing room that Mourinho had lost.
 
The mail as the thumbnail for their story on this used a screen shot from that training ground discussion after Pogba posted that video with caption this. Way to create an agenda Mail. If he had posted that picture then all the outrage would be acceptable but the real one is simply a promo picture for the next Adidas marketing project.

I know. It's the 3rd dressing room he has lost. I got the point. :D

Im sorry mate but my English isn't exactly perfect so when I do manage to capture all my thoughts in one good post, I tend to use it again.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure about that. I refer you to Kyrie "the earth is flat" Irving



Sure they can express their personalities and do whatever they want. They are not entitled to fans loving it when their exuberance on social media doesn't correlate with effort displayed on the pitch.

Rihanna of all people called out JR Smith once for focusing on clubbing more than basketball.
Kyrie is a UFO. A legit weirdo, he doesn't count

I think you're being dishonest here, considering your criticism for Pogba, but lack of criticism for Mourinho's actions that have led to Pogba's reaction.

Oh well.
 
Not that I'm particularity fond of Pogba recently but it is blatantly obvious it was a scheduled tweet/Instagram post.
And lets not forget that the majority of posts by our footballers ,on social media, usually go through our clubs own media process.

Im not. I think mourinhos actions were overstated and if they genuinely hurt him hes not cut out for united. He started the season as captain, scored (complete with attention seeking non celebration) and post match mourinho praised his making himself available and called him a monster. The season was off. And pogba went like a teenage girl crying to the media and a circus exploded again.
 
I'll take the tweet at face value. I'd like to personally thank Paul Pogba if he had anything to do with Jose leaving. He's a world class player given the right environment, and I hope he stays. I hope we create the right environment. Player power is the only offset to the Glazers that we have.
 
If it was coincidental there's obviously no problem. If it's a dog towards Mourinho then it comes off as extremely distasteful although we don't know what has transpired behind the scenes and how nasty it got between them.

Either way, Pogba himself has lots to prove over the next year or so. He has problems that don't involve Mourinho as well
 
Can someone talk me through this if I’ve got it wrong, but it seems that the pogba tweet came after mourinhos sacking?

Now sure, maybe it was scheduled, but are you telling me the people who manage that aspect of adidas marketing were unaware that the sacking had happened? The Instagram post was scheduled but it still had to be posted which involves a human clicking “post”.

This is marketing. And I think it’s fair to assume that they knew exactly what they were doing by posting it at all. Probably couldn’t believe their Luck when they heard news of the sacking them remembered what the post they had cued up was.
 
Even if it had been a reaction to Jose can you blame him after the crap he's taken from Mourinho.
 
He regularly gets caught dawdling on the ball against all opposition.

That’s not entirely untrue. That said, it certainly wasn’t true away to Valencia, but the propaganda had taken off by then and he was ‘a disgrace’, for whatever reason.
 
Some people are just desperate to hate our best player. Feel sorry for them. Will be funny to see them backtrack soon.
 
Quote everyone who wanted him out. There you go, thy are all the people who've been brainwashed by a washed up Portugese who won't win shit again:wenger::wenger: . Mourinho apologists in full force

Nope, a scheduled Instagram post is exactly that - it automatically posts at a predetermined time. I believe this is done by use of other third party tools, which you and me wouldn't use.
 
Very ill timed and classless nonetheless. Pogba has got his wish now, maybe now he'll step up and give us something football related to talk about.

Au contraire. He tried one of his trademark ball juggles - in our own fecking box - which Kondogbia nicked off him with a scissors kick and pinged a dangerous cross through our six yard box.

Really? I had no idea you could do that.

But even then, surely someone who knew that tweet was scheduled knew mourinho had been sacked and could have easily taken steps to avoid it going out?
 
We've had the club itself shamelessly using Mourinho's perpetual controversy circus to promote the United app ('Watch Jose Mourinho's press conference - UNCUT!' was their slogan) yet Pogba gets flak?!?
 
Regardless of all of this hullabaloo...

Pogba now HAS to shut everyone up with performances on the pitch. He has to. If he performs like we know he can and does it consistently, then everyone will only look back and see that Mourinho was the problem all along.

If he doesn't and he continues to put in lackluster performances, then that will be that and no one will look at him as a truly elite level player any more until the end of his career.

It's a key time for him. He has to choose what kind of player he wants to be.

I assume that you could forgot about it until it's up which explains the very quick deleting.
 
You can schedule a time for a post to be released.I do it for my blog.I have posts scheduled for next week which I set-up yesterday.

If something happened publicly that you knew might throw scrutiny over one of those posts would you be able to stop it going out?

I assume that you could forgot about it until it's up which explains the very quick deleting.

If that post had been up for 5 seconds it would have had the same impact, soon as someone grabs a screenshot.

I’d like to think that the marketing team at Adidas are on the ball with what’s going on with arguably their biggest client.
 
His performances of late did that, not Jose. Now jose is gone, it’s pogbas opportunity to redeem himself.

Which is as it should be, although it's not going to be a quick fix for any players to turn their form around, they look like they have barely been coached.

But that aside, the amount of abusive posts here about Pogba for what was obviously a promotional message suggests a fair few just aren't going to allow any time.
