He was superb today. Nobody had said otherwise.
At least a couple. Bruno’s been tragic since Xmas bar the odd game so having Pogba on form would’ve helped massively
The trouble with your nonsense is it categorically isn’t true but let’s say he has 1-2 months of good form as you assert; bar Bruno in the past 12 months name a player that has had 2+ months of impeccable football for us.
Yeah, himself, Shaw and to some degree, Martial have an insane blend of physicality and technicality. Pogba seems to have matured a lot I think and his use of the ball has been much better. We need him badly for the run in and I hope we can extend his contract.
He doesn't put the performance he did tonight in anywhere near enough to be in the conversation for me.
Once you guys kept going on about him not turning up in the big games. Now he has, so you just flip the narrative just to have a little bit of a negative spin on things.
Bruno plays higher up the pitch, so he will score more goals and have more assists. That being said Bruno’s performances have been absolutely diabolical since December bar the odd game. In fact his whole season in terms of performance is masked by stats.
Sure, but just for once could we just talk about what's happening now instead of moaning about the past?
Then we have no world class players.
Don't be so hysterical. He was tragic today, sure. Normally, his performances vary between brilliant and average, and we let him get away with the average ones because he usually still scores or assists. Today was anomalously bad. Not sure why. His touch and ball control were as elegant as ever, he just inexplicably seemed to misplace every pass.
Its always a subjective question of what is considered world class - and not something that needs to be defined here, as no one ever agrees.
He’s a moments player. He very rarely performs greatly for 90 minutes. Go back over the games since December he’s been diabolical, but his stats mask his performance. That’s not to dismiss the importance of a goal or an assist, it’s what really matters. But performances are generally judged and Pogba, no way, gets away with Bruno’s performance today. He gets absolutely hammered for it.
Again, no. Sometimes not great, I'll grant you, but until today never diabolical.
Bruno is world class in terms of stats. I don’t judge on stats. I go on performance. Keane for example didn’t have stats like Bruno. Neither did Scholes. Both were miles better. On performance Bruno is very rarely anywhere near world class.
Suppose it depends on your own definition. Looking at the last few games alone he was poor on Sunday, poor in the first leg, awful against Crystal Palace and not good at all against Chelsea.
I'll admit he's getting worse. He looks exhausted to me, and it wouldn't be a surprise given he's barely missed a game all season, and we've been playing one every three or four days. We've all got used to it so quickly but managers used to complain if they had to play so many even for a month or two. From my perspective you're exaggerating how poor he has been until today, when I'll grant you he was truly shocking.
listen look back at many games from mid December, in fact look back game to game over the whole season. If I’m honest, I don’t really care because almost all players have good and bad games, Keane aside, but some are judged only on the bad games they have and others bad games are largely ignored and that’s not fair. Bruno’s bottom level is tragic, his normal level of performance is not great. His stats are great but do we know if they come at a cost?
Agree to disagree, I guess. I think you're misreading him as a player, but these things are subjective.
That’s a good question. He was at the top when he was injured and at the top tonight, so the painful answer is probably his injury cost us a few points...
Yeah Rashford is a horrible player. Clearly done nothing ever for the club.
This is exactly what the guy you're replying to is referring to. Agenda driven.
Exactly. Need to get him to extend and add at least two first XI level players to the squad for next season and we can challenge.
Yes because that’s what I said... On current form hes shocking though and easily upgraded. At his best he’s an asset but even then with question marks about real elite quality. Pogba honestly has 3 times the talent of Rashford though and even he has question marks.
