He’s awful. Bruno was bad yesterday but I think he could make something out of nothing from that bad performance because he has asset in his long shot and set pieces to win us the game or score. Pogba played bad and he has nothing in his assets to get out from that poor performance. Pogba should have been subbed off not Bruno.
At least we will have Martial back against Everton means we won’t see Pogba in XI if we play 4231. And if we play 442 diamond, I would rather see Donny than Pogba.
The guy is just impact sub at best, playing when the opposition players are tired.
I feel like when Pogba and Bruno play, they both operate in each others space. Pogba wants to get on the ball in those pockets and be the showman, whereas Bruno wants to get on the ball and find his teammates with 1 and 2 touch passes.
Majority of Bruno's best performances have come with Pogba out of the team, and when he has the likes of Martial, Mata, Rashford in the team with him to play quick passes.
Pogba just slows everything down. Now I don't want to hate on the guy. He's likeable, seems like a decent guy and all that. But what wrecks my head is when people say, 'well he has to play' or 'let's adopt this very specific formation so that Pogba can occupy the optimal 10% of the pitch where he can kind of influence the game'. Why?
Why not bench him, let Bruno occupy those spaces that he's better in, and play like a balanced, cohesive team that works hard. Why is Ole trying to shoehorn him into the squad for literally no reason? What's he done to justify being in the team ahead of Mata, or van de Beek? I don't get it. Its seems so glaringly obvious that he's not good enough at the moment, yet people are acting like dropping him is a crime.
