He has had decent moments but as usual, moments that you just have to shake your head at.

That moment in the first half when he tried to juggle the ball away from three players closing in on him was braindead and sums up what's so frustrating about watching him.
 
Bring him off and rest him for our next few matches.
No Herrera is going to be tough

It was DDGs fault that the shot went in, but it was Pogba's fault that Kanté was allowed insane space to shoot.

Nah it's the teams fault for dropping too deep and inviting them to shoot from distance, Azpilicueta has had about 3 attempts.
 
Hasn't owned a game in a United shirt, and isn't a leader. Pound for pound one of our worst ever signings.
 
I don't even care that he's defensively a liablity, I just want him to at least look interested while doing his job. Juventus have mugged us off completely.
 
Why is it that Pogba is apparently never to play? He just doesn't look like he cares and I don't think he is good enough to warrant his lack of defensive astuteness. He's the biggest bottler in our team.
 
Hard to judge him on this game based on the situation in truth. Still, I would just like him to implement himself on a big game for us, which he never seems to do.
 
If you take this season as evidence, he's looking like a fair weather player.

Every big important game - he's casual and shows little drive. I find it very concerning to see a midfielder playing like that when the pressure is on.
 
I think he's just shattered tbh. Plays every minute of every game in a demanding position. Even when we've tried to rest him we've had to bring him on at some point.
 
Ozil-like in bigger games. Doesn't seem to give a feck.
 
When people like Lingard or Fellaini get criticised, everyone is labelled a 'hater'. Yet it's fair game to berate Pogba constantly.
 
The state of posting in this thread. :rolleyes:

I think that's the reasonable explanation.
 
Passenger, really lazy, uninspiring performance, I'd rather we have Carrick or Basti on the field right now, they would have more fight
 
Before the match tonight I felt he needed to really take control of the game. After the sending off I felt it was his to boss In terms of mindset and approach, but he just hasn't been able to really grasp the play, dictate the play or tempo or just stand up and be counted today.

I'm a huge Pog fan , but I am becoming increasingly disappointed in his performances when we really need him to take the initiative.

Edit : although he does play all the time with no rest really. And we're playing the best team in the country and we're a man down. And Oliver is charge. AND we scored an offside goal v Liverpool.

Pretty sure it's windy too.
