He’s a brilliant player. Hope he stays bit can’t see it
Pogba
- Thread starter bond19821982
- Start date
This is probably due to his jovial personality and ability to communicate with most teammates regardless of language barrier (he is known for being able to speak multiple languages), that way, he creates real bonds of friendships with teammates he played/play with.
I think Ralf will/should play him on the wing against Atletico, with Mct and Fred starting. It will be another physical game and we will need his creativity if they park the bus.
No Alex, nobody will come at you about sources, don’t worry
Yep
Have you seen the video of him going to the fan inside Elland road yesterday who was shouting him. Gave him a fist bump and a hug. All the evidence says he’s a good guy.
World class anyone?
Zero defensive effort, and only Rashford, Sancho and Ronaldo made less passes than him in our team. Hiding and jogging most of the half.
Hardly anyone is better though, but then hardly anyone gets their thread bumped after good 45 minutes against Leeds saying he is world class.

Can someone teach this guy that you’re meant to shield a ball using your lower base and legs instead of flailing your arms around?
Also nothing more irritating than watching him trying to hold off 2-3 players and getting dispossessed rather than moving the ball along quickly.

Are you surprised? Fool me once..
I don't even take those posters serious anymore. The guys a YouTube highlights player and I personally can't wait till he's gone.
It's laughable watching our setup tonight. Fred is completely stranded in midfield.
Rangnick is a total fraud also. Just another yes man who's told to play the big names.
How he can watch our midfield setup tonight and think it's acceptable. Tactical genius my ass.
He aint and has never been world class. He has a couple decent games per season against shit sides. Vs good ones he gets owned every time. Giving him 400k is criminal.
He’s the only player in a United shirt who looks like he belongs on this stage.
Are you fecking kidding me ? He has been beyond terrible
Are you fecking kidding me?
wtf some people need glasses or a brain
He looks really out of place.
keeps getting caught on his heels and ball watching.
He's been our best player in the second half.
Don't know why he is so pissed to be subbed...
He showed nothing, he went for a stroll in Madrid.
He probably thinks he played a blinder.
Hopefully, he enjoyed the tapas

This clearly isn’t a performance thread but I guess people are desperate to criticise…
You do realise I wrote that at half time and you responded me during the game, right?Watch the game ffs!
Yes, but you’re desperation to post negative comments re our players (Pogba) is pathetic.
This isn’t even the player performance thread.
He looked so slow out there.
The guy would go down as a huge wasted potential. Could have been one of the best players in his generation, but he's not arsed and his bad habits on the pitch have ruined such potential.
We didn't learn anything new about Pogba tonight. Give him a little bit of time and space and he's a very dangerous opponent. Pressure him and you'll get some joy.
I've long thought that he was best used for us as a wide attacker, especially so now that we've lost Mason and Rashford is struggling, or even as a 10, where his decreased mobility compared to Bruno might actually help us keep a better shape centrally.

How mant times do you have to hear in a game "Pogba looses the ball" or "the ball gets taken away from Pogba".
Think he actually looked much better in the second half as Athletico gradually began to tire. The fact that Fred is not a natural number 6 and Bruno tends to be poor positionally doesn't help in terms of the space in the midfield. It was way too easy to pick triangles through our midfield.
But he played well against Championship standard teams guys. Don't forget that.
I have said this about him for years. Nothing new learned tonight. He's a luxury player we simply can't accommodate.

In fairness the second him and bruno got the ball, the AM players swarmed all over them. Still though it was very poor in the first half. Pogba got better in the second half and bruno got an assist.
Sounds silly but if I was at the club, why would I offer him a contract for more money?
Like, his performances haven't warranted a pay rise, so if he wants a new contract, it's on the same wage.
Sure if he scores fifteen goals and gets ten assists them he can get bonuses but no, no higher pay.

Could and perhaps should have been better than Patrick Vieira. Nothing more than a flat track bully for me. Looked exceptionally average again tonight upped a level from Brighton and Leeds.
And this is a club performance related critique, not the ad hoc appearances in an excellent French team.

I would love to see him stay, but honestly the best thing this board could do is spend his salary on two midfielders. They wont have his peak, but we need consistency, and we already have bruno.
He's very good at bonus extra stuff for his role.
Pretty poor at the more primary aspects of his role, and it shows in these type of games

He was piss poor today in his output. The man needs to go. It beggars belief that any time he comes out and sprays a few nice looking passes in a game we have people out in force backing a mammoth contract. Memories of a goldfish, or at least very easily impressed with respect to what should be expected for a top earner.
It is for the good of all involved that he moves on. Maybe it's not all been his fault at United, he's had some good periods - whatever, the point is it has run its course. He can maybe reignite things elsewhere because he is lackadaisical for us. We can use the economic benefit of that to find somebody more suitable.

His time with us is done. He will not shine consistently in the EPL as he needs more space and time. No doubt he’s a very talented lad but he cannot dominate games in the EPL, he will shine in a slower paced league which is where he will be next season.
Lukaku is the prime example of that…..

The talent and quality in that frame.
With 2 players United fans would have loved to see wearing the shirt.
Verratti is still my dream CM signing no matter how old he is, mad to think this is first time Pogba has played at Etihad since April 2018.
Pogba talking about United on international duty? Check.
Totally open to the Paris move and is visibly sick and tired of United. Astonishes me how some fans are still fully behind this clown. Many other big clubs' fans would have booed him at their stadiums.
