He's just sticking to the narrative he set. After all, we won't win the league with Pogba of course.
Thing is I have a lot of respect for Noodle, guy speaks his mind and isn't a sheep who just follows the manager or whomever just because he thinks it is the safe thing to do.
If he believes the part in bold, it is because he genuinely believes that and isn't jumping on a bandwagon and he thinks Jose is in the right here, which he is entitled to do.
Disagree with him though, that he thinks we all think the Newcastle performance was simply Pogba being unable to play in a two. We know he can play there against weaker sides (sometimes doing really well, other times looking a liability). What we are arguing is that performance wise, side has been looking meh too many times this season even before this month and the midfield hasn't been playing terribly fluently, so it is an indication it is not working both for the team as well as Pogba.
When you see most of the other top sides in Europe, it is rare to see them have so many off days in performance to the point they look barely capable of stringing passes together - which we do very regularly. Even compared to Liverpool, Spurs.. they look much more coherent on a consistent basis.. other parts of their sides might let them down, but you rarely see them out-footballed by teams on a regular basis which you see from United an awful lot. That is unacceptable.
The english national team is a side who also very regularly gets outfootballed even by smaller nations. That is usually an indication of a malfunctioning midfield, as that is the area which is the most important in helping you to control any given game of football.
