He was absolutely awful tonight. I've been excusing him but that performance was beyond any excuse you could make, looked like a West Brom level player maximum out there.
 
I am thoroughly disappointed in him. All these stupid ads and stupid videos about Pogba being some amazing player (especially the most recent one) are really making himself look a bit silly when he hasn't been performing up to scratch.
 
He's not a 10, he's 8.
He's not a 8, he's 10.
He should be closer to goal.
He should be deeper.
he should be on the left of midfield three.

Lets stop with the excuses, he's been poor. And certainly lacks discipline, in some parts of the game he would watch the ball rolling in front of him and then after 2 seconds decided to run for it or would just wander between the lines without doing anything in defense.
 
Fraud

French midfield version of Memphis

Unfortunately, this is the path that Pogba is following.
Great for his previous team (Memphis was player of the year, for PSV), then he joins us and he is...err...ordinary.
 
Like I said people have have been making excuses but it's all down to him. It was Rooney's fault first, he got dropped. Then it was he needs a 3 man midfield. What's next? He needs a 4 man midfield?

Something needs to change.
 
Wasnt good at all but should have gotten an assist after that great pass at Ibra. He is just too talented to have no impact at all during a match even when he plays this shit he creates a great chance.

This.

He needs to get back to basics. There's only so many times we can excuse him, but he's been anonymous against both City & Liverpool now. Expect more from someone of his caliber, has been disappointing so far.

Less social media, less stupid videos, less photoshoots, more solid performances.
 
He's been dissappointing for United so far. He might need some more time, but how much I wonder?
 
Was part of a disciplined and efficient team performance and delivered the moment of pure quality that these tight games require. No complaints from me.
 
Today he was locked into tactics. I think Herrera was the one to benefit the most from this static play. It's not Pogbas game at all but we got our 1p. Mission completed.

We just didn't have enough attack to make him all that he is. No pressure on ball holder, 10 men behind the ball, no one but ibra allowed to step over the half line. Can't create much like that. A 6 out of 10 for me.
 
Like playing Roberto Carlos as a winger. Needs to play deeper, on the left of a genuine trio in midfield.
Enough with this bullshit. The ball is the same everywhere on the pitch. I don't want to come off as a prick but this obsession with positions and especially variations of positions is absurd.

Yeah I wasnt actually joking when I said it

I said this in his haircut thread (and got slated) but to me he's more focused on endorsements, social media, how many likes his new stupid haircuts will get etc rather than actually trying to improve his football.

He's been complete shit there's no way around it.
 
We attacked with two men at most. Young was playing as a left back most of the game and frankly so was Rashford at right back. He still wonderfully created a good chance for Zlatan. They were feeding of long passes and expected to do something in against 5 or 6 Liverpool players. That was never going to look pretty.
 
Tactically did well and stuck to his role. Decent performance. Passing could have been sharper but he had 0 support all game.

Very good post. They were feeding off scraps.
 
Very average today. Wanted too many touches to sort his feet, and passed up the chance to drive forward too often. Looked a bargain Yaya Toure sadly. Think the pressure is getting to him. Mou should give him some game time on Thursday. If he can boss Fenerbache he might get his confidence back.
 
Piss poor again. Second game in a row him and Zlatan have been our worse performers, last match because of their wastefulness and today because of how much of an abomination they were on the ball..
 
Said it before but he passes when he can dribble and dribbles when he should pass. And has too much time on the ball.
 
Over the last few weeks, I've been confident that he'll start performing for us but tonight was the first time its made me worry. He was very poor. Simply done nothing right. I still think he'll be a star for United but its a little worrying.
 
I have defended him thus far. But his many moronic decisions are really starting to annoy me. Start by cutting out those brain dead shots that everyone knows will never be a goal.
 
He was not locked into tactics. How can people not see how poor his application was?

Sloppy touches, dribbling at the wrong moments, POOR passing. He was just bad. He had one moment of quality how about the there 93:50. Herrera and Felliani were playing within tactics but they were efficient, did well defensively, gave the ball off well. Way to sloppy for such a technically gifted player. Also throw in a wild shot from 30 yards plus which had no chance of going in.
 
Created best chance and should get an assist, worked hard where he needed...
He wasn't great but he has done his job.
 
He's an enigma. mosy of us wanted to see him more advanced but the other night for France he was superb in a deeper role, and tonight in a free role he was on the periphery of the game.

Agree, except the bolded part, Zlatan worked his arse off and had no support

Pogba on the other hand was invisible the whole game. Put little pressure on their defense and was sloppy in possesion
 
All for giving him time but he really needs to start improving soon.

Was awful today.

This mindless defending of him as to stop. This is not "his job".
