He didnt want to take the penalty. You could see it in his body language, and he shouldn't have been forced to take it. This, much more than his average play, is more damaging to his confidence.
I never really understood where there Selfish Neymar thing came from.
Only time he really looked to do it by himself was in the 2014 world cup where literally everything had to go through him until he broke his back. From his time at Santos to even with Brazil now he always looks to get others involved in play.
I am not worried about him doing well too much.
I am, however, worried about this being the catalyst to release Pogba as a pure attacking beast in the mold of Toure. He already was getting there last year. Mourinho is about make it very easy for him.
Its shocking stuff really.
Danilo has taken them to a new level in terms of attacking from wingbacks. Unless we do the same I can safely say we won't be any factor with them in the league this season.
