Its really not. He was far more self indulgent playing for United, whilst France he was playing with discipline, maturity, grit, sacrifice. How many times did he, take pointless long shots, dilly dally on the ball, dribble in his own half, let other players track markers, showboat, stroll around the pitch, shun defensive duties?Spot on....
Good point, he's certainly played this tournament with the right amount of respect for the occasion, he like a lot of our players took to the pitch expecting to beat sides last season which ended up biting us on the arseIts really not.

there seemed a big attitudinal change in this tournament and his decision making improved with it
There is surely lot of maturity in his game in this world cup, but he is far from the player you describe in your every post. If anyone reads your post and never watched Pogba, they would think he is Bebe like player.Its really not.

I'm surprised people can't see the maturity shift. The bolded especially. Rather put this way, if Pogba played this way it's an absolute certainty he wouldn't have been on the bench against Sevilla. We share some blame as we make everyone look shit but so does PogbaIts really not.

Well no, because he does this stuff in and amongst doing great/outstanding stuff, thus you have to play him but he will also frustrate you.There is surely lot of maturity in his game in this world cup, but he is far from the player you describe in your every post.

He is more entertaining player than frustrating player, for some reason so much has been rewritten. Pogba has such a good season and because of 2-3 poor games, everyone sort of believe he had poor to average season.Well no, because he does this stuff in and amongst doing great/outstanding stuff, thus you have to play him but he will also frustrate you.
come off it. Who said he had an average season? Over the course of 90 minute match some of the decision making in a United shirt, is well below a player of his talents. Often I felt we could not rely on him for the full 90 mins and his manager thought so also.He is more entertaining player than frustrating player, for some reason so much has been rewritten.

Id say Pogba had 4 poor games all season. Spurs, Newcastle, West Brom and Brighton.He is more entertaining player than frustrating player, for some reason so much has been rewritten. Pogba has such a good season and because of 2-3 poor games, everyone sort of believe he had poor to average season.
Criminal decisions then, thinks you cannot do in centre midfield.So over 90 mins he makes some wrong decisions, what a frustrating player.
No way did pogba have a good season. He started the season off well, got injured and decent in the first half but then 2nd half of the season was more shit then anything. He wouldn't have been dropped and subbed off so many times if this wasn't the case. He was much better in his first season compared to last season, when he was definitely a huge disappointment and there was definitely some issues going on. Picked up a bit at the end of the season with the FA Cup semi but nothing much overall in the end.He is more entertaining player than frustrating player, for some reason so much has been rewritten.

I mentioned in another thread at United we don’t have many other players creating chances. At France he also has greizman and mbappe. Mbappe alone allows them to play on the break. We don’t have that at United so build up is slower. I feel pogba takes it on himself to try to create as much as possible leading to poor decisions.Its really not.

Citing asinine Mourinho squad selections and substitutions exposes your logic. Slating Pogba by way of Mctominay was one of the most baffling and incredulous decisions that Mourinho has made. A player who's so undependable that Kante gets subbed off in the World Cup final leaving the 'complicated' Pogba un-tethered. Anybody that supported that hogwash last season (especially given the fact that he had suffered a big injury and was reported to be sick) should be called on it. I've never in favour of taking off players that can create game defining moments in a split second even if they're performing at sub-optimal levels...when a manager does it with such poor bench options it's even more ridiculous.No way did pogba have a good season.

His world cup was far, far better then anything he has done for us over a tournament and in big games. Is it down to system and how he's used, type of teammates around him (having Mbappe and Griezmann to link up and have a quality attack) or his own effort? Mix of everything imo.
What did he do?So what's with Pogba's full time sign language and Evra's video? Is it to do with his critics or the recent transfer rumors?
That’s the Pogba we all want to see!After the Australia game, settled down, the whole team had a meeting with Deschamps, came out a new man, no more unnecessary dribbling, no more shit haircuts, just football, ends up scoring the winning goal in the world cup and becomes World Champion. Good stuff. More of this.
Fantastic picture.
Yep. Apparently a dive and scoring a penalty is enough.No, he didn't. Did he?
