redfieldred Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Everyone thought this would be a mismatch. Anything but. Pogba got forced deeper and deeper by marlon, who pinched the ball off him several times and gave a worldly reverse pass for joes goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well spent 75k Job well done Pack, I am sure he put that ball through to Bryan... tis all a bit of a blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeCiderRed Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 That pass was sublime. Pogba could not handle him and if his stud high challenge catches Pack, he's walking. Well done Marlon. Much improved over the last few games. But played very very well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Great battle, there I was shouting at pack to catch him and then I remembered one of them literally cost over 1000 times more than the other. Fantastic performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yep Marlon’s pass was absolutely sublime, as was his overall performance - surely the doubters and critics will get off his back now, especially the ones who say he never passes forwards!!!

Midred Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Correct me please, what exactly did Manure pay £89 million for? And if the ref wasn't buying all his dives why the hell did it take so long to book him - or is this just normal for the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrob Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 To be fair...... Pack was three yards off Pogba for most of the game.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Pack was excellent tonight, in fact Pogba was lucky to still be on the field, he should have been booked for the first foul, the referee missed a studs up mis tackle on Pack in the first half, could have been booked twice in the 2nd half and all because Pack was frustrating him all night.

marshy Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Pack was class as was the rest of the team. Mind you the way Pogba went missing in the Euro final against Portugal told me all I needed to know about his 'value'. A very sour and ungracious interview from Mourinho after the match as well.

Davefevs Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think he had a bit of a dip in firm up until recently, but appears back on his game (at a level where at the start of the season I thought he was one of the first names on the teamsheet). The "problem" has been: Smith - getting a pre-season has brought him back to the levels of performance that helped keep us up in 15/16, where he was magnificent....playing through injury too Brownhill - his emergence from match day 18 player to regular starter from back-end of last season Making some of Marlon’s performance look a bit more ordinary. Said before, if he had another yard of pace, he wouldn’t be in the Championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you could argue that smith was responsible for the free kick that led to their goal and was caught in possession on a couple of occasions. You can always find fault if you look for it. With pack I think a lot on here look for fault and are a bit blind to his strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
