That is also true. It's hard to keep a cool sense with Pogba, he's very polemic like Ronaldo used to be for us. Everything he does or doesn't is scrutinized

It's the curse of the price tag isn't it and people's unhealthy obsession with his dabs and hair cuts.
Spot on if he was at City and they were winning he’d be getting mega praise. The problem we have with Pogba is he’s very inconsistent one week he’s brilliant next week poor. We struggle to cope without him as our play is focused on him. Lukaku is the same he also needs the team to be better suited to utilising him.
But the extremes of opinion both ways is frightening with Pogba.
Personally I think he’s awesome and best we have had since Scholes in there. Yes he’s up and down but he is still young and once we can accommodate him a bit better he will flourish here and folk will hopefully look back and say mind even Pogba got abuse on here.
Really hope the paper talk is b*llshit as Jose says but the nightmare end game is that Madrid use one of our supposed obsessions and we get the crock that is Gareth Bale or the ever so slightly over the hill Ronaldo.
Really want to see a big match-winning performance from him today.
Again it's absolutely nothing new that the press want to use to create disharmony at OT. We seen our big players sit on the bench with SAF when their form dipped or issues away from football became a distraction. Pogba is a talent who has played a significant part in us improving from last season but he's still young and money doesn't fast track maturity (on and off the pitch). He needs to grow up a little and understand the demands of playing here which is unlike anywhere else in this country. He's not alone though as I'd put Rashford, Martial and maybe Rom in that camp to. All these players for me are immature emotionally in how they apply themselves to the game.
The problem as I see it whilst we are waiting for these players to develop that emotional consistency, the teams suffering. This in part is why I think Jose prefers buying older players......

Imagine the meltdown if Pogba is benched again...
I hope he goes out and smashes it today, he needs to.
I'd take Toni Kroos and some money.
Pogba is insanely talented but he's a complexed player that needs to a team built around him.

Not really, he just needs to play in a functioning team, there is a difference. In other words a team that doesn't fold if he is having an off day, or a team that isn't so reliant on him. Juve didn't build a team around him for instance, he just fitted into a functioning team.
Once we build up the team more and more Pogba will excel even further, so Kroos with Pogba at United would be better than Kroos and Pogba leaving.
Spot on. Utd to me at the moment is like having a leak, soon as you fix one bit, it starts leaking somewhere else.
Toni Kroos is now too defensively minded. He doesn't even go attack much nowadays.
With him and Matic, manutd will be playing with 2 DM.
He's got his 4-3-3. There should be no excuses.
For all the fuss about Jose dropping him, misusing him, etc., remember that it was Jose who always stood by Pogba even when he performed badly, blasting those who criticised him for his haircuts or wages. I think Pogba needs to return the favor by showing an inclination to adapt.

Come on Pogba, give us a masterclass performance.
This.
He only does that outside the top 5
He owned Arsenal but arsenal is in no 6 now.He only does that outside the top 5
Once he owned chelsea, chelsea will drop to 5th
Hoping he performs. Would be a lot more optimistic for the rest of the season if he started showing the form he is capable of, especially as he's in a midfield three today.
Man Utd 2:1 Chelsea
Better today so far. Looking a handful at times
Jump for the fecking ball. Compete, you pleb
Diva
I don't have any respect for this guy any more. Bullied by Kante in the air for the counter. Get up there and fecking win the header for once, you wimp.
Sums him up there.. had some moments of class and was beginning to look dangerous and then fecks up a basic defensive task
Potential great player but soft as shit
No excuse for going down like a sack of potatoes there. Becoming less convinced by him with each game he plays now.
he couldn't even jump for the ball
Isn't he a basketball fan? Hasn't he seen the players leap off the ground and tey get a high ball, as in "jumping"?
Gets beaten in the air by Victor fecking Moses because he can't be bothered jumping for a header to maintain the pressure. Sums him up really.
He is such a softie in aerial challenges. Don't commit if you're not jumping.
Would not want to be him at halftime. Out jumped by Victor Moses, has at least 6 inches on the defender.
Big game.
No surprises here.
No surprises here.
He does not need more freedom. He needs to learn to play in midfield, playing there means tracking runners and defending.
So what is the excuse now? We play with 3 men in midfield and he's still shit.
One of our better players in the half.
Thought he was unlucky on that challenge. Stood off and lost his boot when Moses came down. Way too slow in getting back, but wouldn’t have made any difference.

Only seeing highlights on my phone. I assume the United player going down like a lump of shit near the opposition box in the build up to the goal is Pogba?
Yes
Decent half but you just want more from him. You can't seriously blame him for Chelsea goal though
6'4 behemoth getting out jumped by a man with a 6 inch disadvantage.
Not Mourinho's fault this time. The sun's maybe.

Kante is his kryptonite. Every 50-50 or 60-40 in Pogs favour, Kante always wins.
