It'll be absolutely ironic if Ole ended up playing him deep after people complaining he should always be upfront while Mourinho was in charge. Also will he sulk again if that ends up happening ?Oh no, Ole is a Jose lover

Fun time coming ahead regarding Pogba till the summer.
This is definitely a reflection on Matic being shocking, I think. Wouldn't be surprised to see Pogba-Herrera and more 4-2-3-1 to close out the season with Mata and Lingard switching up as the #10.Oh no, Ole is a Jose lover
I'm considering a tattoo across my chest that says:He mostly just kept the ball today and to be fair he did win the ball a couple of times to help Ander and the defense. He did have that nice left footed ball to put Rashford away. But he's capable of a lot more than that.
Doucoure was the better version of him going forward today at least.
37 year old Giggs and 34 year old Scholes did the same with rubbish midfielders around them. Gerrard did it with worse at Pool. Kevin De Bruyne lifted his side in Germany and no one was near his quality. When you say average, please note we are in the quarters of the CL and currently 3rd in the EPL, a league with the most sides in knock out stages of Europe so how are we average?Maybe it's me but can't think of any other midfield player worth 150m in today's market playing in such an average team. Whether Ole was here at the start of the season or not, we would be where we currently are. You answered your own question cause compare that midfield to this one. How easy is it to produce 7/10 performances with Becks, Keane, Scholes or Giggs along you.
I doubt that. If we move to a 4-2-3-1 it'll be Matic-Pogba. Herrera playing DM is only a long term option on this forum, Mourinho replaced Herrera after 1 season there, and we have used McTominay before Herrera in that position under Ole. Herrera is a makeshift DM and managers know it.This is definitely a reflection on Matic being shocking, I think. Wouldn't be surprised to see Pogba-Herrera and more 4-2-3-1 to close out the season with Mata and Lingard switching up as the #10.
Nobody is paying 175m for Pogba.Coutinho was worth what 105m? Neymar at 200m, a few seasons ago. We should be getting at least 175m for Pogba imo.

It's more that Pogba is more Ozil than Gerrard
Defended? All I'm seeing is fans having a field day here.Following Manchester United since I was 4 years old. Never seen a player defended against the obvious, by some, as much in my life.
Not even Eric
This is probably the worst assessment I've ever seen of yaya toure. First off they are nothing alike. yaya was a dm who could dictate play while also having the ability to actual play higher up the pitch. Pogba can only play higher up the pitch or he is somewhat useless. Yaya toure was also always very consistent in his play.I agree with you here.Whilst its harsh to a degree because there are days he does the CM role; there are more where we as a team feel like we could do with more in the centre.
I like Pogba - but he reminds me of Yaya Toure. On his day he can be untouchable but on other days you feel like he doesn't full click in with the rest of the team as midfielder.
Hopefully his 'prime' is doing just that.
Actually he was running off the other midfielders. Pogba was up against Hughes most of the time.Had zero impact off the ball. Dacoure kept running off him.
Oh sorry - I mean he reminds me of yaya toure when he stopped playing at CDM but was played more & more as an AM towards the later end of his career.This is probably the worst assessment I've ever seen of yaya toure. First off they are nothing alike. yaya was a dm who could dictate play while also having the ability to actual play higher up the pitch. Pogba can only play higher up the pitch or he is somewhat useless. Yaya toure was also always very consistent in his play.
My biggest concern is that Pogba doesn't seem to have the range when it comes to performing simple tasks as a CM. Does he have the abilities of a CM, most definitely but I highly doubt he wants to be one. Today there were countless times when he could keep it simple or dictate the ball more efficiently but he chose to be dribble which was unnecessary. If I was Ole I really don't know how to tell a player like Pogba to improve on his decision making. Like who the hell CONSISTENTLY tries to dribble their way out of trouble in their own half under pressure? He keeps making this same mistake and it doesn't seem like there is any adjustments to his game being made.
United fans today..sad. In todays market Pogba would cost nothing less than 175mil.200m you can't be serious
I rate him but 100-120 seems a fair price.
So nothing new for him. Funny how some act like Pogba is protected here. He's by far the least appreciated player here given all the good things he has done since his comeback and the performances of the players around him especially Ander Herrera.A performance like today in a Real shirt at their place and Madrid fans will boo his ass and call for his head.
Hmm so I guess 'world class' Modric and Kroos raised Madrid's level against Ajax.As I said earlier, world class players raise the levels of those around them.
Nah, Madrid fans won’t be so full of excuses.So nothing new for him.
Nothing new..again.Nah, Madrid fans won’t be so full of excuses.
We didn't built around him. But since Mourinho benched Pogba, now every time he starts a game under Ole, a lot of people think that the team is built around him. Weird.Utter garbage today. If we build a team round him he needs to deal with getting Man marked like world class players deal with week in week out
Well I did say IF we build a team around him. He was utter crap today. As was the whole midfield. He should be the one receiving the ball at all throw ins and playing deeper in my opinionWe didn't built around him. But since Mourinho benched Pogba, now every time he starts a game under Ole, a lot of people think that the team is built around him. Weird.
But if he stays, maybe Ole will try to build the around him.
I genuinely can't believe he wouldn't have done a better as a 6 than Matic today, he isn't too small, his mobility would be genuinely useful there going sideline to sideline which Matic really struggles with and a lot of midfielders his age drop deeper for this part of their career. I'll die on Herrera as a 6 island.I doubt that. If we move to a 4-2-3-1 it'll be Matic-Pogba. Herrera playing DM is only a long term option on this forum, Mourinho replaced Herrera after 1 season there, and we have used McTominay before Herrera in that position under Ole. Herrera is a makeshift DM and managers know it.
Would be in for a rude awakening at Real for sure. They jeered Zidane for his first 6 months, Modric, even Cristiano. Bale still gets stick now and he is 3 times CL winner including key winning goals in finals (literally).A performance like today in a Real shirt at their place and Madrid fans will boo his ass and call for his head.
Some people's heads are going to explode.
