Is he a striker now ? Assists would be a better critique.

Christophe Dugarry (who will always remind me of Dubarry shoes) has just had a right go at Pogba and Griezmann.
Pogséries is a new one to me. I bet it’s fecking shite.

I cant help but read quotes from French people in a French accent. It's distracting.
That said, this is the exact same stick Depay gets in Holland for wearing a silly hat and such. Once he starts performing better no one will care.
Has anyone watched the Netflix documentary on Juve? Allegri seems a staunch disciplinarian. It made me wonder how Pogba handled that, not simply the repeated line that he was helped by having 2 top midfield partners and given more freedom, but the overall professional environment and the enormous expectations they're under (something we've seen a lot of our players can't handle). Would be interesting to know if he went through similar difficulties over there like he's now enduring.
Interesting series, for sure.
Interesting series, for sure.
What is the docu called?
Ha Ha, good wind up, nearly got me.
Dugarry as a pundit is like Souness, a man full of bitterness and hatred but on this one he is spot on tbh. The series is fecking shit.
It just shows how disconnected they are from reality, who the feck begs journos to not criticize them ? Man the feck up
Regardless of manager for a long time Juventus have often been know as a club with a highly professional environment and enormous expectations. Which is why I find the whole idea that he had it easy there absurd.
Haha Juventus is losing their grip on the serie A title this season due largely to the departure of King Pogba.
It's one of those things that gets repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact, despite being completely wrong.
Pogba at Juventus was not 'free' he was incredibly disciplined, hard working, tactically astute. This was of course helped by a master tactician of a manager, but he himself has shown during his time at United under a similarly tactically aware manager that he can do it.
Pogba if he could maintain the consistent level of the first half of the season, would be one of the best midfielders in the world. I have maintained that Pogba is experiencing a drop in form, and there is not a tactical problem with him. The only position Pogba would be out of position is in Matic's position as the deepest midfielder that protects the defense. Pogba has never played as a dedicated DM, his skillset is perfectly acceptable for a top CM.
Pogpass
That's what I thought. Don't have any authority to scrutinise that claim that "he was free there with two midfielders doing all the work" shtick but from watching that docu series there is no way that team would have tolerated anything below top professionals.
I agree that he should be able to replicate this, he should also be able to play in a midfield two if needs be, but this is more than a loss of form. It's a crisis of confidence, albeit with a smile on his face.
Even though they won it last year without him? Makes complete sense.
Just scored an absolute beauty of a free kick to add to his assist earlier.
it's obvious our so called manager can't get the best out of our world class players. Pogba, Sanchez and even Lukaku were superb before arriving to united.
Yes let's sell him and get Ramsey and Vardy.
It's so black and white isn't it? Lukaku was playing in a shite team in which it was easy to stand out in. Sanchez wasn't really anything amazing this season. Pogba started this season great.
Absolute worldie from Pogba that freekick. Nice assist for Mbappes goal too.
Yeah the way Mourinho has Pogba hitting freekicks is weird.
Goal & assist 
Pogba playing badly for United and not being able to complete simple passes is down to Pogba himself.
Effort, application and confidence can do wonders. That and playing an awful team.
Whatever you want to say about Mourinho, adding Lukaku in there is just stupid. You are trying to imply he hasn't been good at Manchester United?
you know he scored 25 goals last season in the same league he plays in now.
Well it is logic. Those players deteriorated under his management, whether it is confidence or drop in form, the manager is responsible specially when it is more than one player.
Lukaku has not deteriorated as a player. He has got even better.
It's crazy right?
He plays awful teams in united too. But I can't blame only Pogba for his drop in form, the manager who is criticizing everybody around him but himself has a role in causing many players lose confidence in themselves.
Lukaku has been a far better player for us than he was at Everton. Yes, he's scored fewer goals, but he's linking play incredibly well and doing great work out wide etc. To say his form has dipped makes the rest of your point laughable.
How on earth has Lukaku deteriorated? His all round game has improved significantly
No player improves under Mourinho!
Especially not Lingard.
He is a central forward who scored less goals this season. Cant see the progress you are mentioning. Sure he changed his style of play at united, but still not at his best.
Then you don't watch us play.
With regards to the former post, he was playing in a team where the whole setup revolved around him and his strengths. As for him deteriorating, you're having a laugh right? Joins a better club and doesn't stand out as much means he's getting worse ?
I said the world class players, cant see any of them become better if not went down on form. Sure he improved the average players like Lingard to become above average, but who else? Young a bit maybe!
Yep. Hope he brings home the pizzazz in his game
How many world class players have we? Sanchez is new to the team, still finding his feet. He has been very disappointing, but was disappointing for Arsenal this year too. Pogba started the season fantastically well - does Jose get no credit for that? Nope, he just gets abuse when Pogba plays badly. De Gea has improved markedly every year, I guess Jose probably had nothing to do with that either. Martial is a better player too.
