Seemingly on a mission to break his own record of giving the ball away in the end of that half!
He hasnt been good but his teammates arent helping him . Everyone is slaughtering him for losing the balls but look at where he gets them.Shocking so far, watching it in a boozer called Kellies in town and everyone is getting pissed off with him.
Except he is paid to care. And perform. And he is paid much more than others, he probably earns double than majority of our players, who themselves are overpaid to begin with.it's hard to blame him for seemingly not caring.
He could at least have a bit more awareness of trouble. Punt the ball into the stands if the only other option is an extremely high risk dribble past 3 players that leaves us very exposed if it doesn't come off.He hasnt been good but his teammates arent helping him . Everyone is slaughtering him for losing the balls but look at where he gets them.
He got a ball literally passed to him when he was literally surrounded by 3 players. One was basically on his back and the two in front blocked every passing lane for him.
What is he supposed to do? Hold the ball and dribble past them but even Pogba wont be able to do that all the time.
That's the main reason I don't understand why he doesn't play much further forward. He likes to dribble, but trying to dribble past players in our own half is high risk/low reward. If he does it around the opposition box its high reward/low risk.He has no awareness of where on the pitch he is. He loses the ball in our own half time and time again (usually doing fancy shit) and it has been known to cost us.
Perfect example of it there to put Rashford through.That's the main reason I don't understand why he doesn't play much further forward. He likes to dribble, but trying to dribble past players in our own half is high risk/low reward. If he does it around the opposition box its high reward/low risk.
He isn't a robot. If you're as good as Pogba is, already won a world cup etc, you're obviously going to be pretty discouraged with the players he's surrounded with.Except he is paid to care. And perform. And he is paid much more than others, he probably earns double than majority of our players, who themselves are overpaid to begin with.
Can anyone make single argument in Pogba's favour without mentioning the world cup? He wasn't much better before the World Cup either, his flaws were always pretty much the same.already won a world cup etc,
You’re kidding, right?The lack of quality around him is outrageous. You can't blame him for losing the ball when he's forced to be the sole build-up playmaker, transition midfielder and chance creator. All alone.
I can't remember any player of this calibre being suffocated by such a mediocre team, ever. Much worse than Messi playing for Argentina.
He's the biggest fan boy you'll come across. It's a waste of time.You’re kidding, right?
He’s literally as bad as anyone else out there today.
Terrible mentality.
Exactly.Xavi, Scholes or KDB wouldn’t look any better in this system with a mid-table squad, it is what it is.
He’s playing with far inferior players, he should be doing better but there’s really all that much a deep midfielder could do with all this dross around him.
Disagree. The cream always rises. Pogba has been poor for three years with some very minimal periods of exception. Can't understand how some people seem to think it's never his fault.Xavi, Scholes or KDB wouldn’t look any better in this system.
All three of Xavi, Scholes and KDB were/are better footballers than Pogba so I'm not sure why they couldn't do any better. It would be odd if they didn't, really.Xavi, Scholes or KDB wouldn’t look any better in this system with a mid-table squad, it is what it is.

You’ll get your answer when he leaves next summer.Disagree. The cream always rises. Pogba has been poor for three years with some very minimal periods of exception. Can't understand how some people seem to think it's never his fault.
So his poor performance for three years has all been down to other factors apart from him?You’ll get your answer when he leaves next summer.
Gerrard wasn’t played as a deep playmaker in a midfield two in those teams.So his poor performance for three years has all been down to other factors apart from him?
Gerrard played in some horrific Liverpool teams yet dragged them to victory. Pogba isn't fit to lace his boots.
Bullshit, how do the players you’re on the field with affect your ability to not repeatedly give the ball away or look like you even give the tiniest shit about performing?Xavi, Scholes or KDB wouldn’t look any better in this system with a mid-table squad, it is what it is.

Its not only outrageous its bordering on scandalous. It would be so funny if it wasn't my team I support.The lack of quality around him is outrageous. You can't blame him for losing the ball when he's forced to be the sole build-up playmaker, transition midfielder and chance creator. All alone.

He was right wing sometimes. Didn't make any difference. Could have put him left back and he'd have dragged them to victory.Gerrard wasn’t played as a deep playmaker in a midfield two in those teams.
Totally different role.
Gerrard was a great player, you are not wrong about that.
It wasn't an argument for his quality but rather why I can understand his disillusionment being stuck playing with this United team.Can anyone make single argument in Pogba's favour without mentioning the world cup? He wasn't much better before the World Cup either, his flaws were always pretty much the same.
Mate, your a Pogba fanboy as well as dictionary definition of a toxic fan. A quick glance of your post history reveals that much.

I'd prefer if you focused on the topic and on the evidence of his ""poor performances"" I just posted instead of stalking my comment history, thanks.Mate, your a Pogba fanboy as well as dictionary definition of a toxic fan. A quick glance of your post history reveals that much.
Get back to your game of FIFA.
When Pogba goes will you go too?I'd prefer if you focused on the topic and on the evidence of his ""poor performances"" I just posted instead of stalking my comment history, thanks.
