He is far too long on the ball and clumsy. Waits and shields it just to lose it instead of playing the easy and early pass. It is like he waits and looks out for these duels in midfield.

Such a good player but more of a problem than anything else for us at the moment.
Slows it down, wants to shoot from anywhere and muscle prople. Seemingly incapable of interplay with his wingers. Mata in there and I'm convinced we win that game.

He was like Bambi on Ice on the ball today, but he was very good in his defensive duties helping Darmian.
Thought he was awful today.
His decision making was terrible.

Serie A in terms of match-pace simply isn't comparable to the PL. I reckon once Pogba has fully adjusted to that he'll be a beast in midfield. For now his inconsistency is unfortunate but understandable.
Too much trying to prove how good on the ball he is and how good his feet are. fecking release it
Said it last summer. Never a £89mil player.
Atrocious today and should have been subbed off long before the end.
One of the worst players again, but that said i'm sure he will be fantastic for us. Hope soon though.
If I see any of these cnuts playing fancy backheels in good positions with no awareness of who's behind them, I'm going to punch my TV. Both him and Rashford were so fecking careless with the ball.
He was useless today. However I believe we have too many shit players out there and they make his level go down. He need to have absolute top class players around him. He was not worth the money we paid - no fecking way. Not in a million years. Not for potential or anything. He had some good play for Juve (top team) in a league where they now produce to sell players. An honest price tag today would be somewhere around £45m-50m. Just compare the money to some names who have gone for the money in the region of 50 60 70 mil, NO WAY he's anywhere close to them. WE CONSTANTLY OVERPAY FOR PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!
Another crap game. Should really be dropped, look at how we played against West Ham without him. They're a bit crap admittedly but so was Everton today.
Poor today
Bit of a contradiction there.
He's frustrating as feck because he seemed to turn a corner in the last few weeks. By God he was shit today, though. We were infinitely better without him mid-week. Bit mad that our star player makes us so much worse. That's a shite state of affairs.
One of my biggest worries is that because he's Pogba, we can't ever sub him off. Had an awful game and should have been axed long ago, but still played the full 90.
He seriously needs to watch some Roy Keane videos. Get the ball and fecking pass it on.
He's a ridiculously good player just needs to learn as a central midfielder 80% of the time you need to keep it simple.

I wish he'd have the intellgence to realize, that in a match when his touch is absolutely shit, there is a much bigger need to keep things very simple and pass it quickly 
but no he just wants to do the same thing over and over again without adapting.
but no he just wants to do the same thing over and over again without adapting.He just need to watch his debut again and again. Pogba was all we could ask for in his first game. Winning the ball, making run forwards..
He was terrible. Seems to forget the basic rule of keeping it simple 2-3 times in a row before trying something different. He also needs a crash course in game management. Too many wrong decisions at crucial times of the game.
That was atrocious. Nothing he did worked. The time he thinks he has on the ball is mental.
Takes far too many touches, too ponderous on the ball. A great player, but he needs to adapt quickly, because he simply doesn't have the luxury of taking more than one or two touches before passing it in this league. He gets dispossessed too frequently. He needs to do the simple things better.
A truly top team wont have Pogba as its best player or main man.
Slow ponderous play by him as always. Nothing he did came off. He actually was the break down of most of our attacks. I'd rather have the same line up with Mata or Rooney if for Pogba.
Too slow there to be playing as a number 10. Missed Mata in our attacks. Pogba needs to be dropped or at least subbed occasionally when it clearly isn't working.
Terrible in every aspect, besides he is such a lazy ass
Don't think this evening's performance should negate the good stuff of recent weeks.
He was terrible though. Really frustrating when he doesn't release the ball for the easy pass and holds onto it only to lose it.
I think and hope this can be fixed with coaching. He obviously doesn't lack the talent to play simple passes. He chooses not to.

Really bad today. Wants far too much time and it's not going to happen in this league.
He may have been good defensively, but from an attacking point of view, at times, was appalling. Held on the ball too long, tried to dribble through a congested midfield when he could have passed wide, some flicks failed to come off, and just seem slow and ponderous.

This is the problem with him. He has everything to be a top top player but maybe not the brains. His decision making revolves around doing flashy things.
Hopefully it can but I'm afraid it may be too engrained in him to not play like that. When he is on form, he looks great but his touch is shit, he should definitely focus on keeping it simple and just passing it.
I thought he was a good defensive prescense today. Going forward, not so much.
terrible, both defensively and offensively
lazy and overrated, we simply can't carry him atm. We need to surround him with better players for him to "shine"

This sums it up.
Defended his first half performance in match thread because I could see he was trying and believed something would happen.
Instead he turned to dogshit, I'd be interested to see his pass completion rate I doubt it's anywhere near 80

We should have brought Mata on for him today.
Horrific performance, it's like he's trying to prove his transfer value.
We want a Viera style player, not a harlam globetrotter.

Tbf he isn't the complete player, yet, he was awful today but he isn't lazy.
He brings a lot to the team albeit not today
Or brought mata on and put pogba cdm if that was the tacticWe should have brought Mata on for him today.
So poor today.
He was horrendous today, along with the rest of our midfield. He's not a no.10 though, and once again he found himself receiving the ball high up the pitch with his back to goal and play behind him. feck me, have we not learnt anything yet this season?
