Not a malefactor just a lagomorph
I don't blame him for the penalty. He was quiet today though
He is not a no 10 either despite what some want to think. That tendency to dawdle on the ball and lose the ball with his back to goal is equally as problematic higher up.Looks leggy and almost disinterested again. Needs to find some energy in his game. Playing deep doesnt suit him, as he is a liability in possession in our half.
Exactly.Penalty aside, extremely underwhelming performance at the pressure part of the season. The only player to have low minutes on the clock but performing like he has 4000 for the season.
Yes you can control it.He was protecting his face, its human instinct. If someone boots a ball towards your face you can't control it.
As for the rest of that performance. He's fecking sh#t get him out.
He's very consistent. Just the wrong way round. A player that slots nicely into a ready made team of winners. That's allHe is too inconsistent. I dont think we will win anything major with him. He cannot do it 50 games a season. He performs maybe once every three games.
Spent the night just passing it sideways. He is not proactive at all. Just casually walks around the pitch.
He's not a shit player but was bad today. And it's a recurring thing.Protected his face in a reflex.. not smart to give a penalty away like that but a normal human reaction i think.
He is a great player but had a bad game today. Hopefully he will show the real Paul Pogba next game.
The over the top reactions that are posted and will be posted in this thread about how shit Pogba is are going to be interesting to read again...
Dude. Seriously there are just to many examples of players putting there face on the line.The natural human instinct is to protect your face. The ball was hit fiercely you forget at that split moment you're going to give a penalty away. Besides that, he admittedly had a poor game. Gary Neville is setting a narrative against Pogba. He never criticised his favourites once in the match even though they had worse games.
Don't want to defend his performance, which was fecking cr*p. But he wouldn't do that unless his mind was like "my god my insta face"Yes you can control it.
You are trained to control it.
He is a physical coward.
Not for the first time in the last few years also.Forget the pen, he was abysmal apart from that. Mark Noble dominated that midfield, Mark Noble ffs.
Do one, watch it back. His pointing back all the time. In no way progressiveAside from the mistakes, in terms of performance, I'm not sure what people are expecting from him.
I've been complaining about his performances for some time, but I'm noticing a pattern. He's spent most of the time picking the ball up at the halfway line, right next to Lindelof and Maguire, and there is absolutely nobody to pass to. It's also very easy to mark our midfielders out of the game.
The option he predominantly has is either backwards, wide to Wan-Bissaka, or Bruno coming so deep they're passing to each other. The one time he did make a run, he placed the pass that initiated the goal, and his movement pulled players with him in the process. I don't believe that a player with a natural inclination to move forward is not doing so out of choice.
He does have his weaknesses, but I'm feeling his role is basically making him nonexistant to the game.
Im now of the opinion we could have Toni Kroos in central midfield and he would struggle to do anything.
Don't act like you've never seen Scotty McT or Fred play.Even without getting into any specifics you just can't say he justifies his place in the team at the moment. He's offering nothing going forward and costing us at the back.
Ignore his name and look at his performances , he needs to be taken out of the side
For who? They are miles worse who ever you are thinking ofEven without getting into any specifics you just can't say he justifies his place in the team at the moment. He's offering nothing going forward and costing us at the back.

Watch it again. Whoever was directly behind him was turning their face away. So, that player managed to do it, but pogba couldn't. Appalling from him.Forget the pen, he was abysmal apart from that. Mark Noble dominated that midfield, Mark Noble ffs.
