They were equally poor in the first half and equally decent in the second, everyone good at their things, it's just the intensity which caught them by surprise from the beginning of the game, Fred has made some mistakes so was seen much more as a culprit but Pogba got bypassed like grandpa Matic absolutely out of the game. The game like this cannot be played with 1 midfielder.
Still the two should start in games with less pressing teams but then I would prefer Pogba as a LAM for sure, it's just that VDB is not good enough deep either and provides zero passing ability t go forward what Pogba does and McT is out, Matic, still lucky to be in our club. This situation is not good and Pogba willget a lot of stick but he's played out of position because we have no other choice. I'd even go with a diamond. Sancho had a very slow start either, should earn his spot and Pogba should play a bit further there instead of him.
