Agreed. Pogba constantly needs someone to tell him how good he is and how loved he is. Hopefully some manager will find what makes him tick to perform well consistently. He's an outstanding talentToure was guilty of much of the same to be honest, but I think Pogba's on a completely different level of narcissism.
He did much more than that though! It can't all be reduced to points. He turned the club around from a spiral of decline and gave it back it's self respect. His influence was huge.
Would probably struggle in the premiership.Imagine Roy Keane trying to manage a top level team in day and age
Toure (like Viera & Keane) was a box to box midfielder who could do it at both ends of the pitch. Pogba has all the physical attributes to be that type of player but sadly lacks the application.Toure was guilty of much of the same to be honest, but I think Pogba's on a completely different level of narcissism.
Just like RodwellToure (like Viera & Keane) was a box to box midfielder who could do it at both ends of the pitch. Pogba has all the physical attributes to be that type of player but sadly lacks the application.
What I was suggesting was that Toure also had a tendency to only turn it on when he felt like it. The pair of them could be world beaters on their day, it just depends how much they fancy it.Toure (like Viera & Keane) was a box to box midfielder who could do it at both ends of the pitch.

He had one good season and then got us no more points than MON and Di Canio did. And in getting us promoted got us 6 points fewer than McCarthy.
In the process he started the ball rolling on paying way over the odds for players and tying down average players on massive contracts.
We were rock bottom when he took over and had just avoided the all-time record of a run of defeats iirc, mind. To get to to where he did that season was a hell of an achievement, like him or loathe him.
I don’t loathe him I just don’t get the whole love in for a bloke who did worse than McCarthy with a fuckload more money.
That's debatable as overall he managed to keep us up. Something McCarthy couldn't do.I don’t loathe him I just don’t get the whole love in for a bloke who did worse than McCarthy with a fuckload more money.
He didn't do worse, they were both promoted as Champions (he had less games than McCarthy but not sure what their respective games to points ratio was) and he kept us up, fairly comfortably the following season. McCarthy's team was an embarrassment in the top flight.
Do you blame him for spending money made available to him?And as I say in the top flight he was one of our worst managers. 3 points more than Sbragia - someone who is virtually ridiculed on here.
Wank yourselves silly over the bloke if you like, he started spending the money we didn’t have and did no better than any of the managers that followed.

Some midfield thatKeano and Souness are taking Neville to the cleaners here.

….Keane and souness were right. Amazed Neville was making excuses for some poor full back play by both United's full backs. The most basic of basics is stopping your opponent shooting or crossing.
Eh? Are yay on solvents lad?I don’t loathe him I just don’t get the whole love in for a bloke who did worse than McCarthy with a fuckload more money.
Tbf mate, that is the fault of Drumaville.
I think it depends on Keane's remit at the time TBH. He spent a lot of money on players to halt the slide in the Championship and get back in the premier league. Many of those players were not up to Premier League level but they did the job in getting them there. In many ways not too dissimilar to what Rafa The Great did when the Mags went down.That’s the Harry Redknapp defence and if I remember rightly he gets pilloried for it on here.
