Apart from a second half performance at the Eithad last season. What has Pogba actually done ?
150m for him is a no brainer !

That's it, I'm done. I need some time away from this place.

 

[Lay]

This is Pogba for Juventus and France too. His game is inconsistent, but we are better with him in the team than out.

This thread just peaked. It can't get much better than this.

“Paul is important to us,” explained Ole at his post-match press conference. “We couldn't keep the ball today and, as I've said it was probably 50-50 possession and, at home, we're a bit disappointed with that.

”But Paul has been away and he's played two games for France. Of course, he's playing a bit deeper for them and that might be something we have to think about to get him more involved in the game, make him dictate games more for us.

“That's from game to game. As you can see, Paul can do both. He can attack and defend.”

Will We be seeing a less attacking version of Pogba? I hope not, He's brilliant on the left hand side. Shaw+Martial+him is a bit of overkill on the left but it's been working well.

I think he means that, in games where we're not dominating possession, he wants Pogba to come deeper so he still gets the same amount of time on the ball as he would playing further up the pitch in a game we are dominating.

Seems common sense, as you want your best player on the ball as much as possible.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Switch on, switch off, switch on, switch off... etc.

If he wants to be more freer in defensive responsibility and focusing more on attack, then he should first be that consistent in attack, consistently producing the good.

Thing is, he just don't -- too inconsistent even in his favored attacking roles, and what's up with him losing easy possession in the 2nd half and inconsistent defending (idk what the prob whether it is his focus or he just don't want to do the boring stuffs in football, his defending is really that good prev run of games) and yet managers (not just Ole, with France, and even prev manager) still insist on letting him stay on field usually because of what he can bring to the team.

Make it so the manager had to let him be more on the offense, he's not helping his case. Expecting to be spoon feed? Managers and teammates should cater to him? Given on a plate, not earned? Doesn't work that way.

Anyhow he tried, so hopefully he can do better.

Others have said it already, but feck me! Try watching our games. You're making yourself sound like a fool.

 

[Swiss_Red89]

We need Pogba at his absolute best if we want to knock out Barca. And that includes him putting 100% effort in, dictating our play and deliver the creativity in the final third.

He was disappointing the last few weeks/games. I really hope he can get back to the form he showed from dezember to end of february.

 

[Patrick08]

Cafe keeps bashing souness, but I can see why he keeps repeating same thing every time.

 

[el3mel]

Please Madrid come and get him.

Absolutely sick of him and his antics. Feck off please.

 

[DRM]

Doesn't want to be here. Get rid

 

[Raw]

He doesn't fecking care does he. Absolutely shambolic these last few weeks.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Very poor tonight no excuses for it

 

[CallyRed]

I'm sorry, but I'll honestly wont miss him when he goes

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Atrocious.

He's back to how he was Pre Ole. Sloppy dopey performances.

 

[#07]

Pogba is playing like someone who sees his future elsewhere. The second the Madrid speculation started his performances dropped off, just like when he was linked to Barcelona early doors.

We've only ever been a pit stop for Pogba haven't we? Trick me once...

 

[Lukeinchina]

Straight down the tunnel at the whistle, not arsed.

The contrast between his attitude and McTominay's today was apparent. Get 200+ million for him and De Gea and I'll drive them to Madrid.

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Very poor today. Had a few good moves, but also destroyed a lot of other moves with poor passing. Don't move enough without the ball to get into good areas too.

 

[AngliaRed]

He’s such a likeable lad when playing well and banging in the goals and assists. When he’s losing the ball and pissing about with it, its even easier to be fecked off with his general attitude and circus that comes with him.

I hope he starts to up his game.

 

[Kostur]

No worries, it's just the obvious lack of quality around him that's stopping him.
and mourinho

 

[Patrick08]

Needs to be booed again next time at home.

 

[Gomes]

Yell about Matic, Young or Smalling all you want. He has been the worst player for 4 matches in a row.

 

[Offside]

Serious questions about whether he has the right mentality or not. Don’t care if he is a World Cup winner. He’s appalling far too often.

 

[Ludens the Red]

No worries, it's just the obvious lack of quality around him that's stopping him.
and mourinho

Haha, yeah. Must of been motm Mctominay effecting him, all that desire he was showing, really put Pogba off.

 

[Eli Zee]

Too pooor offensively to do so little defensively... too many times I watch him lackadaisically jog back while players that are further ahead of him are urgently running back to help the defense.

 

[reddevil702]

What are the excuses today? Played him up top and didn’t have any defensive responsibility.

 

[Rossa]

Please, take your Rolls Royce and drive to Madrid. I am starting to seriously dislike him. You never know which Pogba you are getting. No effort, spends an eternity on the ball, loses it far too often then casually jogs back.

 

[Ban]

His head isnt in it.

 

[thegregster]

No worries, it's just the obvious lack of quality around him that's stopping him.
and mourinho

Exactly.

If we sign 7-8 world class players he will come good.

 

[Mr PG]

It's Ole's fault not resting him really. Lost my head when they subbed Fred instead of Pogba.

 

[Dante]

The French Mesut Ozil.

 

[Rossa]

No worries, it's just the obvious lack of quality around him that's stopping him.
and mourinho

That, and he should have been 2 yards further up the pitch in a 67 degree angle to the left.

 

[United22]

The French Mesut Ozil.

Never seen something more accurate

 

[kps88]

No manager or midfield partners to hide behind now. He's gone missing at the most crucial point in our season.

 

[Carl]

Obviously needs a high performing team around him to function, and given we're not likely going to be that a a couple years he's pointless to have.

If Madrid come in with anywhere near £150mil we should bite their hands off.

 

[Rossa]

Exactly.

If we sign 7-8 world class players he will come good.

With 10 he would hardly have to do any work. Would suit him perfectly.

 

[AJ10]

Pathetic performance second game in a row. Not even trying, he can F off.


Pathetic.

 

[AgentP]

Another terrible performance. It's been a month since he played well. The inconsistency is ridiculous. The worst thing is he didn't look arsed at all. If he can't up his game when his team needs him the most, then why even bother.

 

[Hugh Jass]

It's Ole's fault not resting him really. Lost my head when they subbed Fred instead of Pogba.

This. Fred was actually doing well bar the mistake. Controlling things and looking to pass forward.

Pogba was awful tonight as he was on saturday.

I dont think he has the resolve to do it fifty games a seasons. He does it some matches and then disappears.

 

[.Rossi]

Maybe his Rolls Royce at a flat tyre and it distracted him?

Understandable

 

[Feed Me]

He's going to leave and at this stage it doesn't really matter.

We are going to finish 6th and we are capable of competing at that also ran level without him.
