[Paxi]

Not when we have Herrera suspended.

Thats true. Feck.

 

[Cassidy]

Not a chance it's a blessing in disguise. Ffs we didn't need this now.

Indeed

 

[iammemphis]

Not good at all but at least he might finally get a bit of rest. I think he's looked tired a couple of times recently, a few weeks out might do him good physically and mentally

The only positive out of a dire situation.

 

[buckooo1978]

what happened?

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

The break might actually do Pogba good. He's played so much football this season without a break and played all summer in the Euros.

 

[mu4c_20le]

He needed a break, but not like this

 

[kopviolator]

Got your wish now, guys

I thought the wishes were for him to play like king

 

[Fracture90]

It was inevitable considering the amount of games he's played.

 

[Godfather]

I hope everybody realises just how shit we look without him.

 

[Deleted member 101472]

I hope everybody realises just how shit we look without him.

He doesn't exactly elevate us at the moment

 

[Cassidy]

I hope everybody realises just how shit we look without him.

Yes, we looked so good when he was on

 

[sammsky1]

I hope everybody realises just how shit we look without him.

erm .... we don't look very good with him ... and we looked great today after he went off.

 

[Devil may care]

Was having a decent game, hopefully the injury isn't too serious, 3 weeks off.

 

[Zoo]

erm .... we don't look very good with him ... and we looked great today after he went off.

No we didn't. Rostov we're growing in confidence as the second half went on as we basically stopped functioning. The goal from a Rostov mistake.

 

[BennyBlanco]

His first half was woeful, if Fellaini had his first half he'd have gotten boo'ed out the stadium.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

He needs a rest. Maybe this injury is a blessing. Hopefully not out too long.

 

[OL29]

His first half was woeful, if Fellaini had his first half he'd have gotten boo'ed out the stadium.

Such an exaggeration

 

[Minimalist]

Mixed bag before he went off I thought. Some good, some bad.

 

[slir32]

I missed the first 2 mins of the first half and saw his as he was coming off what did the injury look like it was?

 

[Vaibhav Raj]

Fellaini had a good time bringing the ball under control otherwise the entire team looked bereft of ability to make any pass other than a short, safe one after Pogba was off. The break will probably do him (Pogba) good but I am already dreading having to watch a midfield of Herrera (when he's available) and Fellaini. Tens of short, cute, sideways passes only to lose the ball and get hit on counter attack. Yeah Pogba is frustrating and screws up simple things a lot of times but he also takes up all the responsibility of any sort of creativity coming from the middle of the pitch and literally all the long, more direct passes that have any sort of quality about them are sent by this man. Pogba hasn't been good but what we have without him is absolutely dreadful and one dimensional. Let's hope Mkhitaryan and Mata are up for it because they will have to do a lot of dropping deep and speeding up the tempo of our coming games.

 

[Anustart89]

Pulled hamstring.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Such an exaggeration

Um, not really.
Hit a few nice crossfield balls, that Rooney would have gotten lambasted for had he been the one doing it in our midfield.
Other than that, gave the ball away, heavy touches too often, too many touches and not releasing too often, hit a couple shots into the stands including a freekick, overhit a couple through passes straight out of play.
His first half was very poor.

 

[MadMike]

That's 2-3 weeks isn't it?

 

[Ramicoo]

I hope everybody realises just how shit we look without him.

Different team without him. Most of our chances start with him. I hope it's not serious or we're in big trouble

 

[Ban]

Decent game up until the injury. Had some heavy touches tho and missplaced passes.

I hope we won't miss him even though he's out of form.

Exactly what do you think we'll miss?

 

[Ban]

Exactly what do you think we'll miss?

He hasn't been that bad. We'll see. All of our attacks start with him and even when he's having a bad game he puts some great passes forward.

 

[Vaibhav Raj]

I felt we were really lucky with Mata's interception and consequently the goal because it opened up some space and our outfield players were able to pass again. Because as soon as Pogba left, the team looked liked they didn't know what to do with the b all. All good and dandy to run around and make interceptions and keep it simple but when it comes to sending direct passes, long passes between the lines or drive the team forward, we have nobody aside from Pogba to take that responsibility.

 

[sammsky1]

He hasn't been that bad. We'll see. All of our attacks start with him and even when he's having a bad game he puts some great passes forward.

Im just asking what will we miss from him that Carrick or Fellaini are not capable of doing?

 

[Vaibhav Raj]

Exactly what do you think we'll miss?

Exactly who do you think can hit an accurate pass longer than 10 yards in our team other than Pogba?

 

[sammsky1]

Exactly who do you think can hit an accurate pass longer than 10 yards in our team other than Pogba?

most can, why?

 

[cyberman]

Exactly what do you think we'll miss?

You saw that when he went off today.
The play became too compact, all sideways passing and easy to pressure with added attempted dribbles into traffic v larger players who just stood their ground

 

[Adisa]

His injury was waiting to happen. Played all the time for Juve, reached the final of EC, playing every minute, no preseason and is never rested.

 

[Vaibhav Raj]

most can, why?

Hmm why do you think we went in and bought him for 90 million then? Did we lack anything that Fellaini and Carrick couldn't offer? Or did Mourinho make a boo boo?

 

[Deleted member 101472]

What would people rate him out of 10 so far this season?

A generous 4 for me, all things considered

 

[BennyBlanco]

4 sounds about right.
I hope he gets a good rest with this injury and comes back a bit fresher than the performances hes put in over the last month or so.

 

[Raw]

Probably 5 for me. He's been average.

 

[Jib]

A generous 7, very good until january and average/decent since then

 

[Zoo]

7

Yet one of the most successful managers in the world will bring him straight back into the team the moment he is fit and rightly so. Good thing caf doesn't decide our starting line-ups.

 

[sammsky1]

4 or 5/10
