Palace at home tomorrow. Surely a game we expect to win comfortably?

Hoping for a big game from Pogba. If we can get him on the ball in their hal facing forward, we should create chances.

Vs Wolves I text my mates at half time saying Pogba was having a sensible game and looked like he wasn't trying to force it all the time or hang onto the ball too long (which I think he was guilty of last season) and looked happier being part of a system. I said he almost looks like a team player. Got some pelters after the penalty fiasco (which sounds like misjudgement from the management team rather than the players) but I hope he continues getting his head down and playing as part of a system.

For the most part he kept it simple against wolves, I read he had more touches than any outfield player, so was obviously involved .

Pogba didn't miss the penalty because of management.
Pogba missed the penalty because it was a poor penalty. Comfortable height for the keeper and it's the 3rd he's missed in that area of the goal in his last 6.
The fact is he's just not very good at penalties.

That's true wazza.
But its up to the manager to manage and make these calls. Its not a co-op.
In sure ole will address it in house.

well i think from now on Rashford should take all penalties until he misses like 5 or 6.

Up to the boss to decide Reman.
I think one of the most unlikely pen takers we had over the last few decades was Steve Bruce. I remember being uneasy everytime he stepped up but his record was great.
Cantona ruud irwin and ronaldo all had well above the average which is 75% success rate.
Sheringham missed 3 of the 4 he took.

So why is he taking them Wazza? Bad management is the answer because Ole doesn't have the balls to remove him from them, and is still in the media saying he will take more!

Becks58 I think it’s fair to say it was a badly taken penalty that made a save likely. I suspect if Rashford had done the same the criticism of the penalty would be the same. Also, to be fair, Pogba did look a tad lethargic taking it.

{Ed047's Note - he walks around like Jar Jar Binks if you ask me.

The penalty situation is 100% down to Ole. He claims that we have two designated penalty takers. The reality is that he is refusing to make the decision, and tell the players who the primary and secondary taker is. That’s the manager’s job, not something to be decided by the players on the day.

True scooby complete bellends.
The young Chelsea Lad got it the week before.
Imo it shouldn't even be a news story. Just ignore them and it will happen less.

Think it's in the Irish version angel. 😂

He was a touch passive aggressive whatever that is😂😂😂😂.

Ken

The problem wasn’t Pogba’s ego, it was the manager for indulging it and keeping indulging it.
