Don’t understand the criticism. He can’t be blamed for the whole team losing intensity in the second half.
Embarassing post, what do you people even watch at times to come out with such drivel...So I look at James out there and I can't help but think why can he play deep in a two but Pogba can't be expected to have any defensive responsibility and needs two people beside him to do all his work.
Yet another game of his with no intensity and absolutely no defensive input again.Embarassing post, what do you people even watch at times to come out with such drivel...

Yeah, he was fine.Bloody hell we're a whiney lot aren't we?
Another goal, some lovely pieces of play. Lost intensity along with 9 other outfield players in second half, all that changed when Martial came on and Pogba upped his game again to coincide with it.
Absolutely bugger all to moan about with Pogba after today, won't stop moancafé though.
I hope you've enjoyed this season through your spreadsheet.Tweet

In fairness, in a years or maybe two years time, these numbers are all that will be remembered.I hope you've enjoyed this season through your spreadsheet.
I'm sorry we won and Pogba scored....I hope you've enjoyed this season through your spreadsheet.
I enjoy both MUFC winning and Pogba spreadsheets? I am dumbfounded.I'm sorry we won and Pogba scored....
I'm glad he's becoming the difference in these games. There always seems to be a stick to beat him with.Tweet

l'm pretty sure his productivity is directly related to being in a midfield 3. He has far more freedom to ghost into the box when he is not part of a double pivot.Away from performance he has become very productive recently. 2 goals vs City, assist vs Bournemouth, assist vs Spurs and Goal today. 3 goals and 2 assists in the last 5 games.
So it's alright that, yet again, they were all strolling around like they didn't give a feck all game? The lad needs to realise he ain't going to play for a bigger club than Man Utd, especially if he doesn't sort his attitude out. Maybe he can take the piss at PSG and have the easy life, if he's happy with that fair enough but it would be a shame.He had his moments, but it is Pogba and the team treated the match like an exhibition game, of course in that environment he is going to get a little self indulgent.
All I want is, exactly like I want from the rest of these lazy feckers, for him to pass and move, show some urgency and actually attack the opposition box. When he gets in the box he's a threat, he's got 2 guys covering behind him, the only time he got in the box he scored, and yet he's still arsing about deep in midfield, slowing the game down and misplacing passes. He's capable of much better, as he's showed whenever we go a goal down, he starts playing with urgency and destroys teams.I don't understand what do people want from him anymore. His output (goals+assists), chances created and dribbling are among the very top in the league (in his position), yet we have people just want him to defend all day and play it simple with sideway pass instead. I know he has some dip in form midway through the season (plus some injuries), and he is not among the best player of the season either. But come on, he is not really that bad.
Now it's a very popular phrase, "keep it simple" and it means feck all. If keeping it simple means just passing it sideways then we should have retained Cleverley. When he plays well, people come up with "Yeah he kept it simple so he was very good". That phrase as no meaning at all and it's just laughable to expect him to keep it simple when he as so many attributes to make a big contribution. He is very good dribbler, his passing range is comfortably the best in our team and one of the best in the league.I don't understand what do people want from him anymore.

he is pretty much what he was at Juventus. he may not be an ever present threat through the 90 minutes but can pop up with a bit of magic, a goal or an assist.Now it's a very popular phrase, "keep it simple" and it means feck all.

Btw there was different argument with few saying Pogba should be played in midfield 3 and some said it doesn't matter. We had few who made very poor posts whenever he played average playing in midfield 3, as if they expected every move to be perfect and every game to be match winning one when he plays in midfield 3.
Anyways this season his performances when played in midfield 2 vs Midfield 3.
Midfield 2 - 1591 mins - 1 goal + 6 assists (227 mins per G+A)
Midfield 3 - 1013 mins - 6 goals + 5 assists (92 mins per G+A)
When played in midfield 3 his productivity is so much better.
In Just PL:
Midfield 2: 1253 mins - 6 G+A (208 mins per G+A)
Midfield 3: 713 mins - 10 G+A (71 mins per G+A)
Those numbers are a lot more than your bit bullshit .he is pretty much what he was at Juventus. he may not be an ever present threat through the 90 minutes but can pop up with a bit of magic, a goal or an assist.
I don't think any midfielder is a threat throughout 90 mins.he is pretty much what he was at Juventus. he may not be an ever present threat through the 90 minutes but can pop up with a bit of magic, a goal or an assist.
