I havent even seen Pogba play and am completely indifferent towards him

 

[ShiftyPowers]

How can you be indifferent? At the very minimum, his success is a failure of SAF.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Once a player moves to Italy (or pretty much anywhere abroad) I lose all interest until we happen to come up against them in the CL...... which in this case might be quite soon

No time to waste then. We need to get you on the Pogba bandwagon.



Some say he's even better then Hazard.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Some say he's even better then Hazard.

Remember in preseason Pogba4Life was saying Kagawa was better than Hazard........ yeah....

 

[Pogba4Now]

When you think about it this could easily have been a straight red card if Cleverley rolled on the ground with a fake pained expression.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Remember in preseason Pogba4Life was saying Kagawa was better than Hazard........ yeah....

Kagawa was playing in a better league than Hazard and I thought adaptation would be quicker because of the smaller gap between the Bundesliga and EPL as compared to Ligue 1 and the EPL. I was surprised at how good Hazard started at Chelsea. He made an instant impact. Coming from a much inferior league and make such a big impact in a top EPL team is really impressive.

I don't think I said Kagawa was better. I was probably just speculating.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Wow Pogba4Life, you have almost as much to say as Paul Pogba has talent.

 

[Mandieta6]

I think Pigba could be better. It's a shame he didn't develop at Liverpool'sacademy or he would really be something by now.

And yeah, that Torres foul was a red.

I also still don't think Hazard is that good, but he does have the quality to settle a game (and lose it like Shakhtar and his bad pass and gailure to mark anyone against ManU leading to their 2nd goal).

Hahahahahahaha this made me laugh so hard!

I don't think it was a red card but if Cleverley made the most out of it, red could have been given. It has been given so many times with similar challenges.

Pogba4life, if you had seen Hazard playing in Lille, you would never said Kagawa is better. Same goes to Neymar-Brasileirao bull****s.

Hazard came from inferior league where he played against inferior players to him, but in EPL he keep playing against inferior players to him mostly...

 

[VanTheMan]

Is it the time of the month for you?

I wasn't the one who brought it up in the first place.

I posted this one the 19th of October for the records..yougot it moron ?>

Yes he would have, because Kagawa is Man U and Hazard is Chelsea

I agree with you, he looks fantastic against mediocre midfields and defences but disappears when up against anyone really quality. He will make sure we secure the points week in week out but Oscar is the man for the big games, mark my words.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Anyway, last point I want to make about Pogba is that maybe he wouldn't have worked out at United, but we'll never know. Despite a huge crisis at CM last season, Fergie kept the kid in the Reserves and brought Scholes out of retirement. He turned 19; how much are the reserves going to help a kid at that age with his talent? It showed an extreme lack of confidence in Pogba, and PP realized that he didn't have to stick with a club that respected him so little.

The only issue with Pogba at United and in the French youth teams is he gets bored with the ****ty competition, even being made captain only slightly improved this

Yeah, Hazard was pretty anonymous against us and Oscar was...yeah.

Yes I agree it was ridiculous. Scholes is the past. Pogba was supposed to be the future. We were so desperate though. Pogba would definitely not have the same impact that Scholes had.

I noticed Fergie is reluctant to play with young inexperienced players in central midfield. Cleverley for instance made his debut when he was like 22 after 3 great seasons on loan. Fergie would probably have done the same with Pogba.

 

[Mus]

In Italy players don't exist until they turn 24

 

[Sir Calumn]

Oscar is the only Chelsea player to have scored in the CL this season against teams that arent Danish U12s...... and also I know he is the same age as Hazard but he looks physically like he has more developing to do still.
