Please God don't let that stick.

Bit racist
Ha ha.
Fred gets way too much shit, I like the sound of Frogba.
I also like how ”something had to give” and that was Pogba, yet we were every bit as shite.

Not disciplined enough, don’t control games. Both players have their advantages but as a midfield two they aren’t an exceptional pairing by any means.
Pogba is a great sub in fairness
Frogba
Fecking Frogba
any midfield we have is better with Pogba
Pogba and Fred aka ‘Pored’ as they are famously known as have been awful together often.
Please dont let this stick.
I like it
Potential for a McFrogba midfield 3 too.
McFrogba sounds like the kind of name a hactivist group would give themselves to add to their mystique. It’s a thumbs up from me.
Love it! if only they were actually good together.They've literally been our worst CM pairing whenever they rarely start together. Tonight the game was completely open and Atlantas midfield was non existent towards the end so the Pogba Fred cameo is not a reliable example of how it would work week to week.
Hasn’t got the legs
Last time we played them together was at Wolves, no? Got utterly ripped apart (as we have with Matic-Fred, Matic-Pogba, and Fred-McTominay - because it's not a personnel problem).
Worked today because we were simultaneously dominating and chasing the game when Pogba came on.

Stop it with the Pogba talk, he doesn't have the legs to play in a 2 in the PL. It really is that simple. He can only play in advanced positions.
Fred is not good enough to be the only defensive midfielder, he's shown that this season. We just don't have the midfielders to win anything this season and that would be true even with Zidane. The only hope may be that the Glazers would feel forced to spend on a midfielder or two in January if the bring someone like Zidane in.

Of the players we have it’s the best pairing.
Adidas make the kit right? Surely it should be Pred? Give them some boots and the marketing boys will have a field day
Fred and Pogs can play together, the issue for me in the need for Bruno to drop a little deeper to make a proper three....
Prefer Pred
It's Fratic I think. Pogba should be preferred over McTominay. Fred's essential though.
I think this might be the way to go. McFred and Bruno leaves massive gaps. We need to start winning some midfield battles. If Bruno plays it should be with 2 forward, 3 leaves us too open.
McFrogbeek
Not really. They've had some good games and some bad games. Same as McTominay-Pogba, Matic-Pogba and Fred-McTominay. Fred-Matic has easily been our worst, while we've never really played Matic-McTominay.
It doesn’t include that nothing player McT, so you might just be onto something.
When have Fred-Pogba been good, name one game, other than a 20 minute cameo tonight in an unbelievably open game. I actually rate them individually but as a pair they are literally the worst combination when it comes to maintaining any sort of control over a game.
They've been poor the last few times from memory (not surprising seeing as Fred had a terrible start to this season and end to last season), but they had some good games before that. An obvious one was the Europa semi-final against Sevilla in 19/20 where the two of them were, along with Bruno, our best players and it was only our attackers shit finishing that got us knocked out.
Prod?
I’m pretty sure he means Fred + Pogba but damn that sounds racist!
Best combo for sure. At least we play football with it. With McT there, we don't play shit
We should go all out for Wilfred Ndidi.
A Didi 'n' Frogba midfield trio.

That would be a 442 diamond I expect?
Exactly. The other options we have (i.e. McTominay & this current version of Matic) have 0 advantages, are actually detrimental to the team as individuals. So, just play the 2 players who actually offer something while on the pitch.
Great. Another thread where we are trying to figure which player is best paired with Pogba. Pogba in midfield with anyone will be overrun against any good premier league side.
