    And rightly so, when you go swanning off buying back players you sold off cheap for 90 million and he turns out to be a duffer.

    Stan rarely gets serious, or even serous, but anyone who thinks Pogba was "poor" (or similar) last season wants their head read.

    He may not have scored the 40+ goals his transfer demanded, according to the Shoot readers, but he by no means was he poor.

    Have to agree with Stan Poggy has never had a poor haircut and Im sure the standard will improve now his coiffeur, Stevie Wonder has retired.

    I serously believe he will do well next season. He just needed a year to settle back in.

    His transfer demanded he didn't consistently disappear against big teams

    His disappearing acts contributed to two trophies. How many trophies did Coutinho's half a dozen good games win him?

    First rate fee to win second rate trophies

    The same argument applies to Carroll, and he didn't even have the benefit of playing in the most expensive squad in the world

    A crushing indictment on Klopp and your squad. Not good enough to win second rate trophies. Damning indeed.

    But Pogba got 7 yellow cards last season and 0 red.
    Coutinho got 8 yellows and 1 red.

    Under Astroball rules, that means Pogba is the superior player.
    As the object of Astroball is to concede the least amount of yellow cards.

    Coutinho is a forward, Pogba is supposed to be more defensive

    e.g. Stones only getting 1 yellow last season is a shocking indictment of his lack of ability or effort

    You've criticised Pogba for his lack of goals yet you consider him to be a defensive midfielder. Astroball is a very inconsistent game with seemingly made up rules.

    The rules are whatever they need to be for Liverpool to be winners, or top, or right.........at all times.
    He even twisted the whole Van Dijk affair to make Liverpool come out on top, even though they were a million percent wrong in that instance.
    God help if he was a chelsea fan, he'd be championing Subway racism!

    He doesn't do anything particularly well

    Whatever he is, he isn't a £89m footballer

    That much I can agree with.
    United were kinda raped on the price.
    But they don't care, they have more money than some countries.
    He was a £35m player, tops.

    As long as we keep winning trophies it's all fine with Stan, even though I appreciate that the real winners last season were Liverpool :emoticon-0148-yes:
