midds Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 3 hours ago, David Edgar said: This was baffling because he was so poor with his final shot/cross/pass in the final third 6 shots and only hit the target once. Honestly haven't seen enough in Diaz yet to say he is a locked in Mane replacement. Is he asthmatic yet though? Little boost just around the corner?

Flip Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 4 hours ago, Dr.Spaceman said: His hype has been insane. Two or three games in commentators were jizzing that he looked like he'd been there for years. He's good, but come on... He is that good tbf. Anyone that has watched Liverpool consistently since he's arrived can't say anything other than he looks the real deal. A lot of people were slating Thiago as well for a few poor games in the beginning. Diaz has been a bit inconsistent towards the end here, just like the rest of the team, but he's shown that he's an excellent footballer and Liverpool seem to have found a perfect player to take over from Sadio Mané (despite Mané being excellent for the last few months).

It looks like he'll return to Italy, where he'll thrive again. A big mistake on Man U's part to get him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Pogba is massively overrated imo - never returned on the £100mil. Not even close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 10 minutes ago, 54 said: 154 league games with 29 league goals in the last 6 years. On a basic contract of £290kpw, that averages £588k per game. Scandalous waste of £90m salary as well as his £90m+ transfer fee. (226 games, 39 goals total for the 6 year period, which averages over £400k per game played).

KaKa Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 4 minutes ago, ManDoon said: He was brilliant for France when they won the WC and at Juve. I'll be honest I didn't watch him much at Juve, so I'll give you that. The league is definitely the slowest of all the top leagues so I can see it. As for France ... I think they overwhelm teams due to the plethora of talent they have on a whole that they can throw at you. One of them is always going to end up doing something special. However, they don't really control games convincingly, and Pogba should be at the heart of doing just that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 11 minutes ago, ManDoon said: Think he needs a more suitable mid around him, as that’s just his play style. For France he has Kante, at Juve he had Pirlo. At man United he’s had Scott McTominay and Fred. He has that leadership quality in him: Yeah, I'd say he definitely appears to need a lot of other really good players around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 4 minutes ago, ManDoon said: Yeah which is certainly a bit of a knock on him, but I do think in the right situation he can be one of the best midfielders in the world. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any player that has got 4 assists in a game like Pogba did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 On paper they have signed some good players. But they have also spent quite a lot of money in the last couple of years. Digne, Coutinho and Carlos are all close to 30 years old too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
