Having a shocker. Needs to improve significantly in the second half
 
What the feck is wrong with him? How is it possible to lose your man on every single set piece?
 
Very disappointing to see him playing so bad in such an important game. It's games like this when you need your star players to step up.
 
Shocking first half from him. This is the type of game that you'd expect big name players like him to step up and win you points but instead he has done the opposite.

It makes me think he isnt really a star player but more of a flat track bully who is only good vs lesser opposition, similar with France.

Yeah but flat track bullies tend to play 'okay' in big games, despite not living up to their hype. Pogba is fecking dreadful today.
 
Wouldn't take him off simply because of his ability to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Still... time to stand up and be counted!
 
It's all well and good doing it against the Hulls of the world but he's been poor in pretty much every big game we've had despite him having the platform to perform.

Jesus. One poor half and everyone jumps on him. Some fans we have.
 
I'm willing to give him some slack because this is his first home game vs Pool but boy does he got wound up by the occasion. All over the place.
 
Had a shocker.

At least he's been visible enough to have a shocker though, no idea where Mkhitaryan, Martial and Ibra have been for most of this half.
 
Learning curve for him. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets hooked off or goes on to score a goal.

My bigger concern is Carrick and Herrera .. they're meant to be giving us a solid platform and have been shambolic.
 
Playing like he did at the start of the season.. Trying to hard and not doing the simple things and work that is needed..

Every time he goes and gets his hair coloured he plays bad.

It's not that. He gets a haircut seemingly before a big occasion. When a big occasion comes up he gets pressured because of the price tag etc. The silly ads and what not don't help either.
 
It's not really his fault he had a bad game. His style of play where he moves around the pitch is limited by Liverpool's pressing.


This is wear Carrick should be taking control of the ball and playing in to space.
 
Makes it worse seeing his name plastered on the advertisement boards when he's having a mare like this.
 
Lost his head a bit here. Gave ball away cheaply, missed chance, gave pen away needlessly, then throwing henderson on our own corner. Needs to calm the feck down
 
Not doing the caf laffin at henderson/can/ali vs pogba crew on the caf any favors with this performance. The green smilies look dumb now, they have owned his ass

Have they said anything about his finishing yet?

Yeah, yeah, I take full responsibility for that shit show of a performance he put on out there. Completely bottled it in every way. Even overlooking the miss and he handball, the fact that he's been hiding is out biggest problem this half. We're completely unable to transition form defence to attack when he hides like that.
 
All these haircuts and hashtags don't worth shit if you don't make something extraordinary on the pitch. It just makes you look like a fool. Here's hoping he'll pull something off in the second half.
 
well his performance in the first half beats his performance on his head which is quite shocking

Carra is too slow against pressing sides, having "ball-playing" defenders in Rojo and Jones does not help much either. Herrera seems on his own against scouse midfielders.
 
Hopeless so far. Mata in for him please

Why the feck are you quoting me for? Are you genuinely disagreeing he's not been dreadful today? If so, you need glasses.

No but unless you live in the future and you can tell me he has been awful the whole 90, there is another half of football left to be played.
 
A player of his size needs to get better and braver in the air. Closes his eyes and hopes for the best on the incident that led to the penalty, which I think was a harsh handball. Stupid, but not deliberate IMO. He's looked a bit soft in his aerial challenges today, and is generally all over the place.
