Pogba jogged in place for a full 30 seconds before taking that penalty. 😂

I thought he was going to sky it like Zaza about 5 seconds in.

Grey is making Darmian look like a fool.

I have two somewhat divergent views on Man U ...

1 - I don't understand why people are down on them this year. They underperformed last year and still finished 2nd, to a historically dominant City team.

2 - People who think Pogba winning the WC will elevate him and this team are sadly misguided.

Chilwell & Gray look a good partnership down the left.

They finished 2nd mostly because they gained the most points in the league from incorrect referee decisions and had a major statistical outlier from their keeper.

They might play better this year, but I bet they don't get nearly as much luck.

After they got the lucky early penalty, the rest of the half went pretty much as expected. United not really trying to do anything with the ball.

Man, I don't even want to hear about that ESPN "Luck Index." Just more excuses for people to complain about ref decisions, and talk about where they "should have" finished. There's no probability scale for figuring out if they will be more or less "lucky" this year.
