Mourinho has consistently labelled Pogba the best midfielder in the world. he says this all the time. I personally feel it would be better if he told him "you need to improve" I have seen more mature performances from him recently in the deeper role.

Well if he's said it all the time this far, and then changing his mind - wouldn't that do something to Pogba's confidence in a negative way?
Can anyone give a status how many times he's been fouled this season?
More than once but less than a million.
I can't imagine anything else than Mourinho working extra hard to develop Pogba - probably his most important player for the next years - into the best player he can be. He even tried to improve Ronaldo's game against the player's renitency at Real. Neither Mourinho nor Pogba gave me the impression so far they'd be satisfied with anything else than the maximum and would sacrifice potential for a feel-good mood.
I bet Pogba is already putting plenty of pressure on himself to get better, and the price tag doesn't help either. He often tries to pull off the spectacular when it isn't necessary and might have hit the post/bar so many times because he's trying to place his shots too precisely. He's being handled just fine imo.
Mourinho: "Obviously, he's young, he can still improve, he wants to improve, which is even better."
I don't disagree that players shouldn't be told when they need to improve. I have no problem with posters being critical about him as a footballer. My issue is that some posters can't see beyond haircuts, image etc and somehow decide that he needs praise to thrive or function.
What do they base these assumptions on? It can't be on what they know because none of us know what happens on the training field each day. So I can only conclude that they base some of this shite on what they think they see.
Do you know the number which should be in between?
Couple of decent highlights vids from the season so far I stumbled upon. Not sure if they've been posted or not. Sorry if they have!
I hadn't seen this one
I'm pretty sure a lot of those dribbles would have had been more effective if he released it sooner or didn't even try to dribble...but feck me it feels good to have this talented, technical and physical beast in the middle of the park for us
It's only a matter of time before it, clicks for him and the team and we will see much more efficiency and clinical play.He plays for us
preferring Gueye over Pogba, some things I read on this forum, honestly lol
Judging by the other video, he'd pass and someone would feck it up completely anywayI'm pretty sure a lot of those dribbles would have had been more effective if he released it sooner or didn't even try to dribble...but feck me it feels good to have this talented, technical and physical beast in the middle of the park for us
Yeah. Quite average still. Despite heavy investment.
better than last year though, quite clearly.
I wish to see the Paul we saw at Juventus and at the beginning of the season. He has to dictate the pace of the game, when he does that our game play is calm and composed with greater possession but when he's targeted, our performance and possession drops. Paul needs support and i think as time passes, his team mates will recognise his skills and play to his strength and likewise. Best of Pogba, yet to come!
Man Utd 1:1 Bournemouth
he creates so many chances with them balls behind the oppo back four

Been useless.
He's been such a disappointment all season
World record fee for this clown 
Having a shocker..
Awful. Needs a lesson in composure.
Have to admit that I'm losing my patience with him now, he should be taking these games by the horns.
Would be a great player if he played with the mindset that he was just another player in the team. Instead he's like Giggs on crack. Trying to thread the needle with every single pass since the 70th minute.
Such an annoying player.
Tossing it away constantly throughout the second half trying to make a Hollywood pass instead of moving the ball around and taking advantage of our 11 men.
Idiot.

Would like to see how we'd look if he got dropped for a few games. Herrera has been a much better midfielder this season.
Thought he had turned it around but he has been so disappointing the past few games. Today was just abysmal.
Not good enough.
Can't even make an impression against 10 men relegation contenders.
Elephant has grown bigger and simply can't be avoided.
What the actual fcuk did we spend £90m on???????

He's been an embarrassment today.

His worst performance of the season.
He'll come good though, but the overreactions will last a few days and weeks after this performance

Utter wank performance.
Should be dropped in midweek, That's as bad as anything I've seen since Rooney against Watford.
Seriously. How can you miss that?
