"Put it this way. If you were playing in a game and Paul Pogba was a substitute, do you bring Paul Pogba on in the last ten minutes if you're 1-0 up and looking to close the game down? You don't do that. "You bring Paul Pogba on to try and get you a goal in the last ten minutes if you're chasing something. "I think he's indisciplined and that's the kindest word I can say about him."That's more like it. https://twitter.com/beINSPORTS/status/1018492781252100096 He tried to praise him but it came out another way.

Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher certainly enjoyed that one. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/1018530702202167298 Paul Pogba, World Cup winner.
