Yeah I saw that. Maguire was so hesitant today.

Statistics can lie, but eyes are often just plain biased
Goes missing when things go south.
Nothing new i guess.
Zero tempo awareness. Can't influence a game when we're not on the front foot.

Yeah innit, I thought he was doing okay up until that backpass.
Has an annoying habit of being unable to control the ball and fouling the opposition to try and regain possession.
agreed. I think maybe the premier league is not ideal for him to show his talents consistently because the pace and desire for teams to press him. I feel if a team man marks him he is done.
I came to accept this a long time ago so I don't even criticise him anymore. I more hope for the best and look for other players to step up more in his absence.
You're fecking joking?
Where should really play? Ole is putting his name for the sake of having his best players. Pogba isn't a winger or a left midfield. He is a central midfielder who can only excel in the Spanish or French league. Pogba will run down his contract and leave for Real or PSG. There really isn't any point to playing him. He should be sitting on the bench and come in the opposing team is tired. This proof how bad Ole is as a coach trying fit him in.
Poor, seem like he didnt care?
Anyway, very poor.
Anyway, very poor.
As always, not just today.
Had a couple of good moments but got caught on the ball too often.
When he plays well, we play well. When he doesn’t. We don’t.
Poor today

Another way or looking at that is he only shines in gamea when we’re coasting against poor opposition. If the going gets tough he’s more of a liability than an asset.
Sometimes, although he saved us a fair few times last season when we were playing ass (Milan, West Ham, Fulham etc)
I think he’s definitely a “good vibes” type player though, yes. Not one to get in the trenches & battle.
It’s this absolute bollocks again.
We were coasting against Leeds before Pogba set four goals up. We were coasting against Southampton? We were coasting against Newcastle….I must’ve been at a different game.
We were coasting to defeat against Red Bull last season when he almost got us through? Against Milan when he did get us through? West Ham away last year? Villa at home last year ? Fulham? Burnley? Sheff Utd away? Everton at home we were coasting until he came off. Spurs away? This is just from this year. What drivel.
Not a LW for a start. Ole should have played him in MF and Sancho on the LW. Poor by Ole.
Yes, said that last week. Only a matter of time before he gets sent off
He plays well when he's given time and space, get in his face and more often than not he's poor.
Can Ole stop with this footballing fetish of playing him on the LW. Jesus christ it does not work. Play him in MF.
Sometimes Paul, you don't actually have to hang onto the ball for so long that 3 players can crowd around you... Just a tip
We need him back in midfield.
Even though he drifts in midfield from the left either way, I'd rather get an actual direct threat out there. Rashford has been a huge miss.

Just accept his limitations and use him as an impact player from the bench, midfield or LW depending on the needs.
He won't be here next season, no point in forcing him into the team. And definitely not worth building the team around him.

Was one of the better players and alongside Greenwood was the one who looked like making something happen. Still only a 6/10 performance so being one of the better players doesn't say much
Absolutely this.
Wherever you play him, there's a massive downside. On the left we saw Shaw overrun yesterday. When we played Liverpool last season, TAA exposed him. We can't press effectively with him in Rashford's position. Defenders can play a higher line with him further forward.
Through the middle, he doesn't track opponents and loses the ball often, while slowing down transitions on a lot of occasions. He is a liability in his own box.
That's not to say that he isn't capable of producing a match winning contribution, but a team is only as strong defensively, as its weakest point, and he is it in most games.
Let's concentrate on the future, as it's apparent that he won't (and shouldn't) be a part of it.
Agreed
Takes too much time on the ball, too soft when being defended and seemingly always fouls people whenever he's beaten.
Can't wait for Rashford to be back and displace him on the left.

Poor overall.
Again.
I'm sick of him. Praying he leaves

The enigma that is Paul pogba.
I don't know why people are surprised at his inconsistency, how long has he been here now? He's not good enough mentally. Its as simple as that.
He technical ability is outstanding, but his mental ability very poor.
He is capable of outstanding moments of individual brilliance, but I don't think he is capable of being part of an outstanding team consistenly producing good performances week in week out. I think he is a problem. I think he might need dropping And be used as an impact sub.

If Pogba pegged his washing out on pitch and did nothing else you'd give him a 7 out of 10. You're the ultimate Pogba fanboy.
He started the season in fine form but over last 3 games he's slipped back to the Pogba we all know. The guy hasn't got consistent football in him. He's just way too erratic. Getting caught on the ball all the time is a serious sign he's not a world class footballer.
Is it though? Or is it one or two things he's outstanding at?
Those passes in behind a backline. Especially when given time. Yeah I'd say that's a world class attribute.
Outside of that what else is outstanding?
I think we have to cut our losses. He has a brilliant pass in his locker, but he is too inconsistent. Terrible when pressed as well.
He has a pass in him. But cannot retain the ball under pressure. Cannot dictate the tempo from MF. Doesnt work hard enough.
Then his agent and brother are treating the club like it is a joke. Pep would just not put up with it and you dont see any of the City players behaving the same way, even though some of them may want to leave. Pep has his players on a short leash.

Jesus…where to start. You’re back to looking at results and blaming Pogba. For sure he’s had better games but he’s more consistent than someone like Bruno for example and he’s considered our saviour. There were some awful performances yesterday, perhaps only Varane was good. Some poor and some that were poor, Pogba, Bruno, Greenwood who still tried to drive us forwards. But yeah you go blame it on Pogba…you couldn’t wait if you’re honest I agree, in our first two PL games Pogba was very good, brilliant at times, but hes reverted to form and when things are tough he disappears.
So many people are reaching in here, he was far from poor and gave a lot of effort. Things just didn't come off. Guys, if a player is on the touch line surrounded by 3 players he's more likely going to lose the ball than not, why is that supposed to change with him? I'm concerned by his shooting/finishing though.
What did he blame on Pogba in that post?
Can you quote @Nou_Camp99 texts for us that blames just Pogba for yesterday?
I watched Liverpool v Brentford yesterday. Both teams moved the ball easily up the field. If a defender approached there was a teammate square to use as an outlet. It seemed like the player didn't even look, he just passed because he knew the teammate would be there.
Why don't we have that? Why isn't there an outlet if 3 guys converge on Pogba? (or Greenwood, or Ronaldo, etc etc)
Pogba more consistent than Bruno? Im not a great one for statistics but Id find it hard to believe Brunos are worse than Pogbas.
The longer the Pogba saga goes on the more obvious it is why SAF got shot of him.
should never play LW again, unless it’s in a tight game and we’re away to City to or something.
Pogba vacates the left and Greenwood kept cutting in from the right, so we had no penetration down the wings.

Yea. And he never in a million years would have resigned him.
