If Pogba was average, what was McT and Lingard’s performance then? I swear to God the expectations on Paul are ridiculous, whereas his midfield partners are excused at any turn.
This. Dunno how everyone and their dog expect Paul, a technical player, (definitely not a DLP) to "do it all". It baffles me.
Did he cost us the game, absolutely yes. Was he the only one that cost us the game, absolutely fecking not. Rashford missed a pen and held his dick while they got their 2nd goal instead of continuing to follow his man.
Most of you need to understand that Paul has to take risks with the ball in certain dangerous positions otherwise our options would be:
- pass it to maguire who will pass it to Shaw
- pass it to MCT who will do feck all with it
- wait for all the opposition players to magically disappear and score in the empty net
If he plays simple, like 99% of this forum would want him to, we'd be fecken worse than we are. Him playing simple is like him playing on the bench and we've seen how dogshit we are without him.
