Ditto. Since Spurs hes looked really out of it. He seems to be moving freely enough for him to be injuried. Maybe its jsut a dip in form

I think, although I'm not sure, that I prefer the version where our manager is unable to notice the fact that Pogba is injured to the version where he's actually playing this poorly for no discernible reason.
Terrible performance
Sigh. If Pogba is injured can we replace him a bit earlier than the 64th min next time
Should’ve been off at HT. Very poor.
I think there is an issue with Pogba and Jose. This wont end well I am afraid.
If he is injured he shouldn't have played, if he isn't then he should be embarrassed.
He hasn’t looked very good since he came back from his long layoff.
He’s still our best player but half the time he looks so uninterested, it’s infuriating.
Absolutely inept for their goal.
I doubt he was injured. Feels like he couldn't be arsed, makes no sense that the staff would let him play if he is injured
This.
If he wasn't injured today then that was pathetic. If he was - why the feck did he play?
Another pathetic performance by our star player. If you’re injured get off early, don’t stay on and hamper the team
He better have been injured. Looked like he'd mentally checked out.
People need to stop saying 'he's still our best player'. How can he fecking be?
He's been terrible for weeks. Injury or no injury.

I'm starting to get a bit of that feeling to. He just hasn't been right the last month.
Something not right about him, he was clearly struggling today. If he was not feeling 100% he shouldn’t have started.
Walked around the pitch doing nothing all game, seemed like he couldn't be bothered. If he was injured he needed to get off the pitch.
Same. I've said it for a few months but I don't think he likes playing the football José has us doing. Of course that doesn't excuse his lack of effort.
Genuinely looked like he was in serious pain on the bench there tbf
Everytime I see city, I think if only we had a manager as great as the one they have. Pity.
In all honestly given his performances over the last month if Jose doesn't have an issue with him then it's far more worrying than if he does.
He needs a rocket.
I'm inclined to agree with this. Think that Pogba was under the impression that he would be our star player and that everything would be set in order to compliment and get the best out of him.
Don't think he imagined he would be forced to play in a position that clearly doesn't suit him whilst playing pragmatic type of football.
Dreadful.
And I back this guy a lot when most give him stick when sometimes I don’t think he deserves it. But if HE and all these others players give as much effort as Alexis Sanchez then we’d beat teams like Newcastle with ease!!
Terrible Pogba! Terrible today

Worst performance of any person this entire season. I'm a big pogba fan. But no player can put in that sort of lazy performance and deserve to be in the team. Bench him for weeks.
You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about though, do you? There's no substance in any of this, let's be honest here.
He definitely is not our best player. Sanchez and De Gea are far better.
What a horrendous performance by Pogba. One of the worst I have ever seen from a midfielder. Surely he has to be droped for a few games now?
But you do?
Just because you don't want to acknowledge this could be true, it doesn't mean it isn't.
Told you guys this isn't going to end well. He looks disenchanted and doesn't want to play in CM. Simple as.
That's such a pathetic argument though. He didn't play shit today because the 'position didn't suit him' he played shit because he was shit. Putting in no effort whatsoever to prove a point, if that's what you're arguing he did, is a sure fire way to find yourself on the bench not having the team built around you.
You must be loving this.
When he finally plays under a great manager again he's gonna lay a massive 12 inch turd on Mourinho's head like De Bruyne has.
Pathetic is you assuming im trying to excuse him for today's performance. In speaking in general.
He definitely looked injured or just lazy today
Nope, not at all.
No, I don't. I'm not the one making the statements based on pure conjencture and zero factual reasoning though. And I didn't say it's true or false, I'm just saying there's absolutely nothing backing it up.But you do?
Just because you don't want yo acknowledge this could be true, it doesn't mean it isn't.
I'm not having a go at you but this is a performance thread. He's putting in performances that we can see and discuss. I think it's stupid to make up stuff about what he might or might not be thinking and feeling because it's utterly pointless.
In all honesty we have no idea what today was about. Maybe he was just having an off day, maybe he was injured or maybe he wasn't trying his hardest to prove a point. We just have to hope it was an off day because the other two options aren't good for us.
Hopefully it doesn't come to that! We have to hope both José and Pogba work out here.
Think I might pop this thread on ignore for a week.
Hm I don't know, it sure does look like you are.
It's a theory, why is it so hard to imagine it? Tell me hear your stance than?
No it's just rubbish whether you're speaking generally or about today. If Pogba's recent form is anything whatsoever to do with trying to prove a point about pragmatic football then it's A) ridiculous to try and act like thats a defence and B) far more worrying than him simply just not being in good form.
