Should never be played in a 2 vs any good footballing side, but he has been invisible and made no attempt to impose himself on the game. Always goes missing in these big matches.
 
He's having a shocker, I'm afraid. No dicipline.

To be fair we all know this isn't his game, being outnumbered against a Spurs side full of running in CM with only Matic minding the defensive side of things, but even so, he's been poor.
 
Where the feck is he ? I see people blaming Matic but that is nuts to me. Pogba is a ghost. Completely nullified and bullied. He talks a big game but doesn't deliver when it matters.

Spot on. It's 3-1 in midfield.
 
One of the most irritating players to watch for us in recent years. Seriously.
 
Calm down everyone. Pogba hasn't been helped by the formation. He got fouled a couple of times trying to hold the ball and I don't see him as the reason we're losing. He was immense vs Arsenal and people seem to have forgotten that. I'm talking facts. Why is everyone saying he's never performed in big games?
 
Thing with pogba is when he has a bad game, he has a really bad game. Hoping for a better second half.
 
What is he?

Not a cm. Not really a Am.

In big games we really need to find a role for him or just take him out.
 
If this is what you get with Pogba in big games (and it's pretty big sample size now), then he can only be a supporting act. We need a proper midfielder to come in beside him if he can't step up.
 
Part officials is definitely tactical. To stay slightly higher to link counters. There’s not a chance that it happens for 45 minutes without it being a specific instruction.
 
He has been absolutely dreadful. The attack is looking good but midfield is being completely overrun. Forget the system. That's where he's playing and he needs to step up.

He absolutely bottled that chance on the back post too. His main concern was not getting clattered rather than putting the ball in the net. It was a huge moment in the game.
 
Utterly crap tonight, and more annoying than that is his retracting from the game. He loses it and stops, throwing his arms up instead of chasing it down to win it back.
 
There hasn't ever been an United player that has frustrated me as much as Pogba has in recent weeks. Wish someone would delete his social media accounts and he starts focusing on his damn game.

Another big game another disappearance. Not disappointed with because it's what I've come to expect from him. The Arsenal game was an exception.

Unfortunately, this is true. He thinks he has so much more time than what is the case, and when he loses the ball, he does his jump and flap his arms to signal his annoyance only not to track back. So annoying.
 
I hope people aren't still saying he's as good as De Bruyne. Not even at Silva's level imo
 
Comes across as someone who thinks he can casually stroll around and magically win games. Might work against shit teams but against the good teams he needs to knuckle down and show some real effort. Talent alone isn't enough.
 
Extremely poor but can’t say I’m surprised. He can’t play in a 2 man midfield against better teams. Seems everyone except Jose knows this.

Twice the player De Bruyne is.
De Bruyne hasn't achieved half of what Pogba has so far, just look at what Pogba has achieved in international football so far.

Good! He's been woeful today.

What's pissing me off, though, is how Tottenham players are allowed to plow through our players time and time again without Marriner doing anything. There was one instance where one of their players made three sliding tackles, three fouls, one of them a clear yellow and Marriner just waved the game on. No wonder why they can press the way they do.
 
I like how so many people come out the woodworks ready to absolutely berate him and our players in general when they have a bad game. I wonder if they actually like our team. It’s a bad game it happens have some faith and stop being so fickle. He isn’t at fault for any of the goals and he isn’t the worse player on the pitch.
