A manager should be looking to get the best out of his players, not drop them to prove a point. There is no way Pogba is inferior to any of the midfielders we had out there tonight, but instead of trying to build around him, he's decided to make the rift public and then get the fans on his back.
Kante is 'inferior' to Pogba as a midfielder. I'd still take Kante before Pogba when building a team. That is because there are fundamentals that are necessary for a good team. Pogba is a luxury player, a cherry on top to an already stacked squad.

He'd do fantastically well at PSG and be lauded as one of the best in the world because they steamroll every domestic team they face and he doesn't have to do any dirty work in midfield.

Clearly a different game to you. He had his best game for us all season, he was given the man of the match award. It was a far more assertive and dominant performance from him.
Was at the game son, so technically you're right.

He was his usual tactical coward self, both on and off the ball.

Maybe Jose got some justification to his comments today. Pogba, lukaku did absolutely nothing for close to 25 mins. I think pogba/lukaku barely touched the ball?

A worn out herrera offered more than either pogba and lukaku.

Can't believe people are going on about tonight. Game was virtually ping pong by the time he came on.

So sad to see that the poisonous little twerp of a manager has managed to turn some of the gullible noodles at Old Trafford on him.

So was I, so we did watch the same game. As we would have done if one of us watched it on TV. Think calling Matic a cowards a bit strong, if Pogba had a similar level of determination, effort and brains we might get some where.

It is pathetic. The cnut always tries to play these power games at all the clubs, and the sheep always fall for it.

so if i have this right, don't mention anything about pogba doing NOTHING for close to half an hour, yet we can post about selling lukaku to milan for 40m based off the same amount of game time. ok then. :lol::lol::rolleyes:

Well Pogba played 15 minutes so there’s that. Then there’s the fact Lukaku has been shite for months. Not that Pogba doesn’t deserve criticism for his last few games at least.

So you're saying some people dont have their opinions and they make their opinion on Pogba according to Mourinho?
So if you think he's grand it's your opinion but if not it's cause that eeevil Jose made them think it?

Lukaku should go because he's gone 8 months without scoring at home mate . The F1 season has come and gone and we're still waiting for a goal . It's not based off one game . He's been diabolical for months

Nonsese. Pogba came on in the 75th minute. Also, don't know where you get the notion I want shot of Lukaku just because of tonight's game.

It's almost as if we needed a top midfielder on to put his foot on the ball and establish some control.

So pogba has a horrific game against southampton, does nothing when he comes on tonight and the only player of the subs we can criticise is lukaku?

Pogba's season is not finished until he puts in a few pub performances in a row. It happens every season like clockwork. It's rather worrying that such a midfielder has such a low bottom level when one of the most important thing about midfielders is consistency.

The midfield is the engine of the team, you simply cant afford one being a complete passenger for games on end until he decides to start trying again.

He got booed tonight after the Virus stuff that Mourinho's areshole buddy "leaked" out this week, so in this instance it's not opinion it's a bunch of gullible tools eating up what they've been fed.

If you think that Jose is a saint then it's your opinion but if it's not then it's because the haters are picking on poor Jose ??

you're only post in the lukaku thread after the game threadmark is commenting about loaning lukaku to milan and trying to offload for 40 mil.

Or maybe he got booed cause in some games he plays like he doesn't give a shit?
Of course he shouldn't get booed but on the other hand he should give a fek.

Or from watching his half arsed performance at the weekend. It’s not like we can’t see the issue with Pogba ourselves. Too often he just doesn’t try and it’s a crime with the talent he has.

It's all black and white with you? My comments mean he's a saint? Really?

It's just that people sometimes see some stuff without evil cnut disease Jose who should be jailed and castrated saying it.

People have eyes. They dont wait for Jose to say something.

Then I have no idea how Matic and Lukaku haven't been booed by these mind readers that know whether a player gives a shit or not, because they have both been lazy garbage all season, at least Pogba has had some good games. There is no coincidence he was booed after that article during the week that was put out by Mourinho's journo buddy, it's just really sad to me, even if you don't rate Pogba or think he should go, compared with Mourinho he's a fecking saint and yet I don't see the match fans giving him any abuse for his horrid managerial performances this season.

Fans booed a player coming on for the last 15 minutes, with the game at 2-2. I can’t even remember that happening before. Obviously substitutions themselves have been booed, but not just in general for the player.

A lot of reds, who’s opinions I generally respect have been completely tearing into Pogba all week. I’m not saying he’s been playing well, but to boo a player off the back of a story clearly leaked by Mourinho is so dumb.

Like he was the only one that looked half arsed at times this season, Matic and Lukaku have strolled through the whole fecking season, Bailly has looked deflated and uninterested at times, Martial also, none of them have been booed by their own fans, but then none of them have had their manager get his journo buddy to put an article out branding them a virus, it's disgraceful.

That's not it though, is it?

They're booing a player for completely taking the piss last match and Pogba was taking severe flak for what he did long before Mourinho's comments leaked.

You can think Mourinho is a problem, but that doesn't mean the answer is players not being arsed to play for the shirt.

Pogba has been a disgrace for months.

He shouldn’t be in the match day squad vs Fulham.

It is not, but it is all black and white with you obviously. Just because I do not agree with the treatment he received at the ground does not mean I think he is grand, so stop assuming stuff.

It seems people can still be naive, no matter the amount of times Jose pulls the same shit again and again.

Some people are blind, and they certainly were not booing him before Jose started his scapegoating.

As I said booing a player is never all right.
But it's been obvious he doesn't care. I mean it's not being a mind reader, it can be seen plainly.
The problem existed before Jose's comments.

Rather than say he needs to be at PSG why not say he’d do so much better in a team that can just keep the ball and string a few passes together occasionally? Which is what we struggle to do.

By the time Pogba was on we'd already given up playing on the ground it was just matter of hoofball and see what comes out . Not judging him based on 15 minutes the ball was flying over his head and the team camped in their own half.
Already seen enough from lukaku based on more than one game

Jose is a problem and needs to go but Pogba's attitude is another problem.
And whoever doesn't see it is blind.

It’s been quite a bit more obvious the manager and maybe even his bosses up to the owners don’t care and that’s what has infected the club.

I have no idea how you come away from that game thinking Matic was awful. Perhaps you should consider a different sport.
Some people on here will blame Jose and Matic for everything.

One of Matic’s better performances, not really sure he can get worse though. He got Man of the Match on BT thought Herrera was excellent,worked his socks off and love the dirty side of him , tackles and rolling around 3 or 4 times after a tackle !

Pogba didn’t deserve to start and doesn’t deserve to start at the weekend. Send him to Valencia to play with the fringe players.

I dont think it's the reason he doesn't care.
Could be, I dont know.
More likely just his personality and nothing to do with his miserable direct boss that uses him as a scapegoat and turns the fans against him? Got it.

He is in poor form currently, and I don't mind if he is given a bit of a break. I also don't think he or anyone else in the squad is not trying or are playing badly on purpose.

Like I said, you could label that at several players who look totally deflated under this manager, Pogba is the only one being actively booed by his own fans as he's the only one the manager is planting stories in the press about.

Not the biggest fan of Pogba, but I have no idea what his role was after coming in. Mourinho isn’t helping him, clueless sub.

Some players don't care, some are just shite. Matić cares but Is totally out of form. Same with Lukaku.

I don't think he's playing badly on purpose, but his mind is elsewhere or so it seems to me.
