Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Pogba's poor performances are on Mourinho's side, but he can't replace Pogba at the moment because there is no player in the squad who can replace Pogba's role.

As a France international and one of the most creative midfielders, Pogba still has a lot to offer, but his performance is based on a good personal mood.

Perhaps due to the poor performance in the first half, he was not excited enough in the second half to put his best foot forward.

During the break, Jose Mourinho deliberately put aside his preconceptions and encouraged Pogba alone, hoping that he could take on greater responsibility and lead Manchester United to equalize or even overtake.

It's just that judging from the first five minutes of the second half, Pogba's performance is still a backwater.

It was Jesse Lingard, who came off the bench, put in a good performance and his in-cut long-range effort forced Mignolet into a brilliant save that led to an exclamation over the Anfield stadium.

In addition to Pogba's sluggish performances, Anthony Martial and the team's top scorer Romelu Lukaku did not perform as expected before the game.

Mourinho wondered if he should make adjustments to these two positions sooner rather than later.

Marcus Rashford can replace Lukaku, Ashley Young can replace Anthony Martial, and what makes Mourinho hesitate is that it is still relatively early, and if he uses up three substitutions early, the next game will definitely be very passive.

Liverpool have yet to make any substitutions, apparently trying to keep things the same.

Five minutes passed in the second half, and in the fifty-fifth minute, Pogba's long pass in the midfield was not passed well, and it was picked up by the attacking Mignolet, Liverpool switched from defense to attack, Matic received a yellow card for defending Li Qing, and Herrera's attention was then on Li Qing, like Pogba, Phil Jones and Smalling also consciously approached Li Qing.

Li Qing didn't raise his hand to ask for the ball, Mignolet threw the ball to Mane, who in turn handed it to Firmino, a transit station.

It was only then that the Manchester United defenders realised that Liverpool's attack was not through Li Qing, but was organized by Firmino.

Firmino, who had the ball, smashed the ball 180 degrees from the spot, turned to avoid Pogba's scramble, and then gave the ball to Salah, who was cutting in at high speed on the right.

Liverpool's attack did not pass through Li Qing this time, but the threat was no less than Li Qing's involvement, Salah won the ball on the right side of the attack and broke through to the penalty area, and his left foot inside the far corner was quite threatening.

The ball made a beautiful arc in the air and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was in his throat, but goalkeeper David De Gea stepped up and slammed the ball off the line with a flying sideways pounce to give Liverpool a corner.

“wowoowowoooo——"

There was an exclamation over the Anfield stadium.

If David De Gea had been a little slower to react, Mohamed Salah's shot could have helped Liverpool extend their lead to three goals.

Mourinho, who had palpitations, ran to the sidelines and pulled left back Mian to explain.

Henderson's corner kick was headed out by Smalling, and Moreno, who was at the edge of the penalty area, came directly to a direct volley without stopping.

Affected by his personal technical ability, his volley directly put the anti-aircraft gun, which is equivalent to helping Manchester United complete the clearance.

Mohamed Salah posed a great threat to United on the counter-attack, and the Reds' defence turned into a zone defence.

In the 63rd minute, Liverpool and Manchester United made changes at the same time, with United replacing Anthony Martial with Marcus Rashford and Emre Can for Sadio Mane.

Emre Can appeared in midfield, Li Qing moved to the familiar right and Mohamed Salah, who was in good form for the game, moved to the left.

Mourinho frowned, realizing that there would definitely be problems in the team's defense in the future, and Li Qing's arrival on the familiar right side meant that he could break through with impunity.

But then again, our side is now two goals behind, and if we don't step up our attack, we will have to wait for death.

The ticks ticked by the clock meant that there was less and less time left for United to equalise, so they could only hope that they would score first.

Marcus Rashford is clearly in better form than Anthony Martial, but Rashford doesn't have the skill of Martial's feet, but the closest United came to scoring came from Rashford!

In the 67th minute, Rashford's goal on the left flank suddenly accelerated, but Alexander-Arnold did not follow, allowing Rashford to stick to the bottom line into the penalty area, and the box suddenly became noisy.

After attracting enough attention from the defence, Lukaku took advantage of his body to get stuck in position to shoot a shot, but Van Dijk fell to the ground to block the ball in time.

Coincidentally, the rebounding football rolled forward to Pogba at the top of the arc of the penalty area, in front of him, there was no defender, even goalkeeper Mignolet subconsciously fell to the ground because of Lukaku's shot to block, which means that Liverpool's goal is now unguarded.

I saw Pogba step forward with his left foot, stand in the big penalty area, and quickly follow up with his right foot against the football.

I don't know if it was not affected by Wijnaldum, who fell to the ground and put the tackle, Pogba's shot on the line of the penalty area turned out to be a miraculous anti-aircraft gun......

“Goooo......"

Sky TV's Andy Gray was about to cheer on Pogba's goal, but instead flew into the second fan stand of the KOP stand, causing the home fans to burst into laughter: "hahahhahaaaa-"

Pogba, who missed the great opportunity, did not hold his head and regret it, nor did he half-kneel on the grass, but looked down at the shooting site with a true book, stepped on his right foot twice, frowned and shook his head repeatedly, giving people the impression that the anti-aircraft gun was a turf pot for shooting.

Anyone who has ever kicked a ball has behaved in a similar way, often not feeling sorry for an anti-aircraft gun or kicking an outrageous shot, but frowning at the trouble of finding the location of the shot.

Where does Mourinho not see that this is Pogba's poor form?

Something to do with the meadow?

But he couldn't express his dissatisfaction with Pogba in front of fans all over the world, so he just pursed his mouth and kept shaking his head.

'Paul Pogba is a big disparity. "

Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor shook his head and said: "But I give a 100 to his expression, obviously his footwork is not well controlled, but it seems to be a problem at Anfield."

Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford, Nemanja Matic and others were very depressed, they did everything they could, and the simplest Pogba made a mistake......

The Manchester United fans in the audience held their heads in their hands in frustration, and they couldn't recover for a while.

They really didn't expect Pogba to put anti-aircraft guns directly in that position......

Pogba, who has the level of a master, kicked the ball away in the face of an almost empty goal, and suddenly became a big failure!_
