I cannot believe he was he man so many (myself included) thought would be the end of our midfield woes. He has served up rubbish performances in 8 out of 10 games he has played in since 2017 and I cannot wait to see the back of him. Same can be said for half of our squad.
Your figures are nowhere near accurate. Pop over to his performance threads or the MOTM threads and see for yourself. What does happen is when he does have a bad game; it is spoken about for weeks, and when he has a few, it is spoken about for a season, and then what happens is retrospectively, all the games he plays where he is ‘good’, but not God-level amazing like the handful of those he has every season, quietly get moved from the ‘good performance’ box they were in in the immediate aftermath of the game, and filed in the ‘poor’ or ‘rubbish performance’ one. Happens every season, and before people start with childish names like ‘Pogba apologist’ - the proof is literally in the pudding about the retrospective change in opinion on him and can be seen by reading the first couple of pages after every match. He’s good then, when we can all remember it as of 10 minutes ago. Then slowly as time goes on, he’s never put in a good performance in forever.
He does have some shit games, and he does have a few out of this world ones, but one of the biggest lies is that when he is not out of this worldly, he is rubbish. And that is a fact. Literally nobody is calling his performance poor in the aftermath of most games. But come the end of the season, he’s apparently been putting in rubbish every week, because all people remember are the few games that no other midfielder can match, and then imply the rest could only have been 45 games of crap.
