Which is what we've done and is seperate my current discussion with him.



I'm not judging him as a player, I'm saying he's not showing the right mentality in that video. Its unprofessional to be posting those sorts of banter vids on the eve of a game when your team is in such a shite position. There are no two ways about it, even Rio called him out on it. A player who knows more than anyone on the caf about how players should act about gamedays.

Its Pogbas nature though that's the way he is, whether he posts the video or not that's what he is doing before a game, that's how he has fun or relaxes, I think you're taking it far too seriously given that it has zero effect on his on the pitch performances and that's why I don't think its fair to comment.

If you read my posts, I didn't say it had any effect on the pitch performances. I said it attracts unwanted media scrutiny during a difficult period for the team and the likes of Pogba and Lingard should be aware of that.

Whether Pogba is carefree in general is immaterial, the video sends an unprofessional vibe and it was picked up on on BT sport.
 
Second time today i think I've noticed him make a stupid freekick with his arms...

I don't know why you'd care about that scrutiny. We're out of form, its obvious, and the players don't have a duty to put on a sad face until results pick up. Its not unprofessional, regardless of what he does there is scrutiny, he is the worlds most expensive player.
 
Been rubbish so far, just seems content to do the basics far too often.
 
He's the new whipping boy. If we aren't playing great, you van guarantee this thread will be extremely active.

He was brought in to be the main man & your talisman. Why are you surprised the expectations are so high?

90million quid.....means he can never be dropped.
literally contributes nothing.
defensively, he doesn't ever get involved.....ever.
offensively, just frustrating....
and rooney gets hated for threatening to leave on a free....pogba actually did.

oh and just to give an example, we were passing it around the box just now.......pogba was positioning himself anywhere possible NOT to get involved.

That's.....

.....just nonsense.....
 
Another poor half of football from the undroppable one. We're so much better when he isn't destroying our attacking play

Righteo. He's rubbish. We would be winning at least 6 nil today if he wasn't playing.

I care about the extra media scrutiny because it unsettles the team and it puts the manager in a difficult position. I need not spell out the obvious to you, there is a reason why SAF was so intent on having minimal social media usage during his time here at the club.

And yes, it is unprofessional. We can agree to disagree but there is not one single ex player who has come out and backed him when he's been heavily criticised by Rio etc. Thats all you need to know, we can leave it there
 
Nice mature and composed half. Do this consistently and the magic moments will come.
 
Honestly think he, like the rest of the team, has been good after the first 20 minutes when it seemed they were coming to grips with the system. Feels like he's keeping it much more simple and not trying to do anything too flashy. He's been quick about getting the ball wide to Rashford, who weirdly hasn't taken Simpson on at all.
 
He's been tidy, keeping things ticking in midfield and distributing quickly. Just because he hasn't taken the game by the scruff of its neck, I feel like some will say he's having a bad game simply because of his price tag.
 
Is it me or did it seem as if other players were somewhat hesitant to pass it to him?
 
Still needs to step up. I've faith in him, we all know he can do a lot better.

Pretty much.

Agreed. Mature stuff considering Okazaki has basically been trying to climb in his shorts with him.

Yeah I guess the players who he is dancing with weren't aware that pogba likes to have a laugh while they were having a laugh with him, thankfully BT can fill them in
 
Got better towards the end of the half and started to have a few really nice moments. I think his long passes on the counter have a chance of getting us in if Leicester go for this in the second half.
 
Had a couple of very bad involvements, some great ones to show that he can play in a midfield two every now and then at least, overall been good.

I suspect even you don't know what you're on about with that post.
