He wasn't our best player on Saturday and the way he lost the ball and then did nothing to try and rectify it was completely unacceptable. Its the sort of thing you'd get a bollocking for if you did it in a school game.
I don't know why he gets such an easy ride from people for stuff like this.
The Ferguson point is kind of mute because he would never have put up with a character like pogba in the first place. Players under Ferguson were either winners or learned to act like one. The third option was playing for someone else. Pogba already fecked off once because he didn't want to listen to Sir Alex so you know how that would have ended.
We are still at the same stage with Pogba as we were last season. Dicking about is more important to him than winning football games for United. It shines through unmistakably in the way he plays and the responsibility for that is on him. Not Jose.
Pogba may be pally and a likable bloke as a character, but every time he prats around in his own half, takes on a 50 yard shot when he has good passing options, loses the ball being silly then does not attempt to win it back, tries to beat opposition players just to prove he can even when this is clearly not the best option. Every time he does these things he is disrespecting his team mates and the club. He is showing that doing what he wants is more important to him than helping his team to win the game.
Where Jose comes into it is that we're 2 and a half years down the line and he's still playing him despite no sign of improvement and a severe increase in the level of pogchildishness. The teams performance is his responsibility and at the end of the day there is little evidence his management of pogba has helped the team.
