when fans make such mistake of comparing two players in different positions, I expect ppl like u to know better but no, u show u r not so different from the indomie generation reasoning. Smh
They are still midfielders. Just like sometimes, we say Roberto Carlos or Paulo Maldini was world best defender at some point in his career. There are times you generalize, some other times you specify. You can talk defence in general or talk left back in particular. You can talk midfield in general or talk DM or CM or AM specifically.

Currently, there is a dearth of quality midfield players in the world. Particularly the CM.

no football u watched dat I did not watch. Oliseh is not better than Mikel obi, kante, carrick, etc.

In fact oliseh is not even in d same category with d above listed.
But since last season, Kante has been doing better than Pogba. Even PFA says it. So those who criticized Pogba were right.

For you to come and start bashing people because Pogba played well against Newcastle only brings more scrutiny to the poor lad even from us who praised him yesterday.

Pogba is just lucky there are no great midfielders now. Look at Paulinho who cannot pass (although he has other qualities) playing midfield for Barca. That is to tell you the dearth of great midfield players today. It was because of this lack of great midfielders I suggested Paulinho for Moyes. Same reason Pogba commanded a record transfer fee.

Tell me where anyone said Oliseh is better than Pogba. This is how you guys jump into conclusion and support blindly.

For Pogba to have commanded the world transfer record, he should have been playing nearly as good as Zidane.

I honestly think you didn’t watch Oliseh, you probably belong to the indomie generation.

Firstly, show me where I said Oliseh is better than Pogba. Go back and read the two paragraphs. Read them slowly before you open unnecessary arguments.

Secondly, if Oliseh were a European, he would have be rated far higher, or if he played now that Africans have established themselves more in European leagues.

Elampiro comparing oliseh to pogba even before d Frenchman kicked a ball under jose
Oliseh was unfortunate to play in a time where great midfielders reigned - Zidane, etc. But he was still one of the best at the time playing for some of the best clubs in the world. He played for Ajax,Dortmund, Juventus. Played for Liege and Regianna.

That was when Africans were not popular midfielders in Europe. If he were a South American or European, he would have been valued more. Oliseh had this unique long rage pass from deep defensive positions. Quick, combative, intelligent and hit targets time after time from outside the box.

In fact wetin exactly you mean? name your "big 6" & back it up with substance?
Someone said this season that Pogba is yet to play against a team from 1st to 10th, that when we beat Spurs, Pogba was not there. I have not checked to verify if this is true but on a rough estimate, it looks true.

Top 6= Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal.

You've completely missed my point. Pogba wasn't phenomenal last season but he stands a good chance of being a very important player for us this season. That's the reason I compared his stats with Neymar, Suarez and Messi's stats this season.

You don't have to say the only condition for you to praise him is if he starts scoring or assisting goals in every game like Messi or Neymar.

Furthermore, you've been defending Rooney since ages past even when we all know he's been awful. Can you compare Rooney's stats with the world beaters'?
Rooney did not coast $90m na.

Rooney was once a world beater himself
How many EPL players have scored 34 goals a season twice during their careers? Scoring goals in English football is very hard.

And therein lies your problem. It's not about winning an argument, but facing facts and truths. Yes i do believe you rated Pogba highly.. even the screen shots show that but you were also quoted as saying "Pogba is the one being shitty". This you said, was screenshot and shown to all but you vehemently denied ever calling him that. That shocked me to be honest. Something everyone with an eye was seeing. Sometimes you just have to agree to facts wether they demean your "i can't be wrong" persona or not. You as well as many here did indeed criticize Pogba extensively when he was playing poorly. No one holds that against you because we are doing same or worse with Mikitaryan and Lindelof at the moment and someday in the future someone might be digging out our posts when we start calling the "best in the league". Every fan does this, why are you worked up over having done it?

Must you have the last laugh?
Must you win the argument?
What pains me was that he lied that I said Pogba was waste of money. Something I knew I never said.

So I needed to give him tough time for that bad lie. Let him have a feel of it.

It's not also about winning an argument, it is about fact. When it comes to facts, I am the king.

Elampiro and claiming the last glory sha.
I remember when it was Martials case. Elampiro claimed to have believed in him from unset whereas screenshot showed uniquegem trying to convince him. No quote me oo
You people always believe what you want to believe. My first impression about Martial has never been in question. I can't remember that argument . I think I was the first to report we were buying Martial. I think the debate was centred around who knew about his game, and then someone brought some youtube from which I gave impression.


I won the argument you were talking about but because Coogar drew a conclusion before I dug up my first posts about Martial, you guys joined in that false conclusion.

It is interesting how a discussion about cutting Lindelof some slack owing to his below-par performance on Saturday turned to what it is at the moment.

Everyone here did slam Pogba last season at one time or the other, Elampiro included. There's no need denying this. He was actually mediocre in a number of matches in months towards the end of the year but the quality he brings to the table was there for all to see. However, this season he's improved much, creating, assisting and scoring goals. Dude's got 6 goals and assists in 5 EPL games.



Messi has 12 goals and 3 assists in 12 league games this season. Neymar has 6 goals, 5 assists in 13 league appearances this season. Suarez has had 5 goals and an assist in 9 La Liga games this season. Ronaldo's own is even worse. All these players are strikers.

There's no need over-criticizing one of your own. It is obvious that Pogba will perform much better this season than last season. Expecting him to score/assist more than strikers surrounded by fantastic team mates is just wrong. Even KevinDB's 3 goals and 6 assists in 12 games can't match Neymar or Messi's stats for the season.
You didn't mention that I also praised Pogba and said his transfer fee was money well spent.

On goals, how many did Pogba score last season visavis the world class players you listed?

wrong, you saying ibrahimovic is slow and can't go one on one with a defender or Martial can't do a long distance run with the ball is a general assessment of the players not just on current form, C'mon now, how can you even say it is based on current form, you didn't include any anything to make it look like you were talking of current form

you sef dey listen to the things you say sometimes
That was just an example.

Ibrahimovic is not slow, he is just old now. He will go down as one of the best strikers ever. Martial needs to work on his long distance race. He can do it, he scored one counter like that two years ago.

Evidence is worstless if it doesn't support any count.

Okay, since you guys are pushing it, a player as expensive as Pogba should score goals like Messi and Ronaldo - Paul Scholes.

When he starts scoring even like Suarez and Neymar you guys can come back to this argument. I don vex

Mr Elampiro Osamiemie Ugbajahie, firstly let me warn you that in trying to challenge the law and disrupt proceedings you risk being charged with contempt of court, do not make your case more difficult for yourself sir! I will not have any backflip and raumdeuter-ing in my court!!!

A statement is a statement as long as it is on the premise of a subject.

If on Wednesday you say "Funlord is mad" and next two weeks you say "Funlord is sane" ..It doesn't change the fact that you labelled him "Mad".

It is that simple and verifiable.

You called one Paul Pogba a "Lazy player" , yes you did!!!

Or do you mean the evidence provided b4 the court lacks credibility?
You no know law, no judgement on a count not on the charge sheet. You can go to court and say a zillion things, the counts on change sheet is what determines which of your statements are relevant.

This is the absolute truth....they both have degrees in senseless amalanomics and take being wrong when discussing football as some sort of death sentence! I can't believe what I'm reading.... Tufiakwa
I was not wrong and still not wrong.

When Pogba was being negotiated, I asked if he was worth the amount. Lekkie073 said yes that he watches Seria A. I said "okay, I take your words and support the amount".

After first matches, I said Pogba was worth the amount.

Then Pogba started playing very poorly in October, November and December. Each time, Lekkie073 and his cohorts blamed Rooney, that Pogba is number 10, and that Rooney was blocking Pogba from playing his position. Rooney got injured and Pogba flopped at number 10.

Afterwards, the Ekwe Sample said Pogba's best position was left midfield of three-man midfield. He got played there and hardly improved.

All these while, Lekkie073 and his team would put the blame on Rooney and mentioned his 300k/week. That was the genesis of Pogba's price tag being scrutinzed.

With Lekkie073 current misbehaviour, Pogba will be under scrutiny again when he starts playing against the big teams. It's normal when you think you know too much whereas there is nothing in his big head.

If you cannot, shame on you and your cohort funlord.

Even Scholes said he was not convinced of Pogba's price. As of last season, Pogba didn't deserve that money United spent on him. But with current market this season, we can say okay.

Doubt about the worth of a player doesn't amount to stating the money spent was wasted. When Ferguson paid for Rooney, he said called his friend Fabio Capello, and mentioned if he actually was doing the right thing paying so much for a teenager.

You no know law. First, match day analysis is not a general statement. Just like I said Ibrahimovic is slow and cant go on vs one with a defender. It doesn't mean he has never done anything like that, it only meant he is not in form or past it. . Similarly, when I say Martial cannot do a long distance run with the ball. There must be assessment of current form. It is different from writing off a player and saying he is a waste of money.

Lastly, lazy and shitty were not even in the original change. Pogba was slow and lazy in the first half of last season. Go and read analysis of Pogba around November last year. We all knew his potentials but he was playing poorly.

I don't understand the hate for Rooney. The guy played well.

Mkhitaryan will have his time, the season is very long. I actually struggled to see Mkhitaryan on the pitch until injury time and when Southampton had no hope of coming into the game again.

Pogba is money well spent
.

I like Bailly's jumping power, but there is some areas he need to mature.

Valencia and Shaw always tucked in while we are defending with Mata and Martial covering the wide for them. Not too sure we did fine with it, but it was okay to put plenty bodies in the box.

Fellaini was good again. But together with Pogba and Rooney, we will need to 'charge' the opponents harder.

Jamie Carragher analysed Paul Pogba's Manchester derby performance on Monday Night Football, describing his first-half display as "ill-disciplined".

Carragher said Pogba's positioning throughout the first half left his midfield team-mate exposed to David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, who impressed as City grabbed the initiative before holding on for victory.

"I don't think it was so much that Pep Guardiola got it massively right than Jose Mourinho got it tactically wrong," Carragher said.

"He wasn't helped by the performance of his players - he subbed two at half-time - but specifically the performance of Paul Pogba.

"For a central midfielder in a game of that magnitude, I think for the first 40 minutes it was one of the most ill-disciplined performances you will see.
"The only way to describe it was like watching the best player in the schoolyard that runs where he wants and does what he wants.

"Five minutes into a Manchester derby, when you know the centre of the pitch is so important to stopping Man City, he finds himself in a left-wing role trying to receive the ball.
"I never thought I'd say this, but I felt so sorry for Fellaini. He was left on his own in the centre of the pitch and there was so much space [for Man City].

"Pogba has cost what he has cost and he has done what he has done, he's not a kid. He is 23. You find yourself looking at situations where Man Utd are leaving acres of space in the most important part of the pitch against a Pep Guardiola team.
"His job, when you are playing in a two in midfield, is to be disciplined, especially against Silva and De Bruyne. It is either he has got it wrong or Mourinho has given him licence to do what he wants and that is wrong."
Carragher and fellow Monday Night Football analyst Phil Neville also discussed how Man Utd can get the best out of Pogba in the future, with the pair agreeing a three-man midfield is necessary for big games.
"I have criticised Pogba for his performance, but he has great talent and abilities," Carragher added.
"I wouldn't say you would ever build a team around one man, but if you've spent that much money, I think if you are picking your team, you say, 'Where are we getting the best out of him?' Then others can work around that.
www.skysports.com/football/news/29327/10575854/jamie-carragher-breaks-down-paul-pogbas-manchester-derby-performance

Pogba was not having a good time last season particularly first half of the season. Great analysts like Scholes, Carragher also criticized him. The criticism was justified based on his poor performance that period. I saw other places they said he was missing chances to score empty net. So we should have clapped for him?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:11am On Nov 20, 2017

If everyone is fit, we should line up like this:

........................ DDG

Jones/Bailly.. Bailly/Jones.. Chris... Shaw

................ Herrera/Carrick

..... Valencia.................. Pogba

.......... Mkhitaryan/Mata/Rooney

............Ibrahimovic..... Rashford/Martial


Or


........................ DDG

Jones/Bailly.. Bailly/Jones.. Chris... Shaw

................ Herrera/Carrick

.... ... Valencia.................. Pogba


Mkhitaryan ........Ibrahimovic..... Martial

The idea will be to utilize Valencia to his fullest, very close to what he does for Ecuador. He will offer energy, pace and protection to the midfield. He helps out defence and carries the ball forward fast either through the middle or in the wing.

Even if Valencia overlaps, our defence shape will be intact with Jones pinning the right back.

Pogba will finally be free to express himself while Valencia and Herrera cover his mess. Pogba is given more licence to adventure forward.


Blind fights for the left back position. Rooney, Rashford and Mata fight for the forward roles.

With this we will be hard to beat, and we will easily beat the small teams.


If I meant he was waste of money, why did I put him in my line up last year?
