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
Right. Because one poor half proves everything and also because none of those players have ever played poorly.
 
Just needs a calming word at half time, that's all. They're basically man marking him and Carrick and keeping them both out of the game.
 
We badly need him to collect his thoughts and use the break to his advantage. He had a very poor half but he can turn it around in the second and become the hero, hopefully score a goal and everyone will forget the first 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.

Herrera has been fine. Can hardly do everything when Carrick and Pogba have been dire.
 
He is still very immature. As I said in last game, he can actually still learn few things from Herrera.

are you even watching the game lol, Herrera created three golden chances, Pogba set up a dangerous counter for Liverpool, missed his golden chance and conceded penalty... can't ask more from herrera, Carrick is a bit slow in this game but we know he usually struggle in fast paced games..
 
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.

This is why it always surprises me when Carrick is rated so highly. He's always been a liability in games where we are struggling for time and space.
 
Showed today that he is nowhere near ready to get the captains armband.

No one suggested he was. He's been poor, but the overreaction is bizarre, he's been brilliant in the last few weeks, and it's not over.
 
Pogba hasn't completed a good pass, he's letting lovren have a free run at every set piece, missed a sitter, gave them a penalty, made a stupid foul and constantly gets caught in possession and we have his name going round the bill boards. Get him off if he doesn't improve in the first 10 mins of the second half.
 
He needs to calm down. I think he pumped himself up for the game, has made a mistake and lost his head. Needs Jose to put an arm around him and tell him to trust his abilities!
 
Maybe this is the wakeup call that pogba needs. Leave the haircuts and emojis until you can deliver on the pitch.
 
Every time he goes and gets his hair coloured he plays bad.
i swear its a serious theory at this point. Probably has to do with the kind of mindset he has when getting them. He puts too much pressure on himself with his confidence at these times, injects celibrity into his game. His best period for us has come without a flashy hairstyle when he only cares about winning games

Agree with this.
 
This thread is brilliant. I'm suggesting a new warning to be handed to people who bring up his hair when he's playing badly :lol:
 
Nothing new. Imagine if that was Fellaini.
Although I give Fellaini a lot of grief on here, but for a player who has been playing as well as Pogba, one poor half is all it takes for the "fans" on here to show their true colors.
 
I love the guy but it's easy to forget that as good as he is, this is the first time he's been asked to be a leader.
 
Jesus. One poor half and everyone jumps on him. Some fans we have.
This is a player performance thread and our fans are discussing his performance, I don't know what else you expected.
 
No one is going OTT with the criticism. He's been great for the past few months but no harm in wanting your star player to finally turn up in a big game. He's just totally lost his composure out there.

Is this fact? I'd love a definite answer either way

Not getting my point. Yes he has had a poor half and no one will argue otherwise. But all these claims about him being a flat track bully when he has done well against other biggish teams is nonsense. More so because it is coming off the back of one poor half.
 
Very unlucky performance until now. Even painted his hair in Liverpool's colours, poor fella.

Let's just hope he'll rise the second half.

May have been harsh on Herrera but he struggled to show any presence on the ball. Yes Pogba was pathetic, Carrick AWOL as usual but he himself can do better.. he's the guy we can rely on usually and by his standards, I don't think he was great.
 
At least one major English paper will link his poor perfomance today to the Billboard.

Those morons are that simple minded.
But obviously there is a bigger picture that he does need stop worrying about his 'brand' and start concentrating on his game.
 
Liverpool are cutting out his outlets rather than targeting him directly. You can see how frustrated he is that he's got no options on every time he has the ball.
 
Absolutely atrocious from him. Believing his own hype, bloody emojis and silly hair cuts - all great, but when you get dominated by Jordan Henderson you just look like a fool.
