Can't blame him for forwards being useless and the system that he's being played in being absolutely ridiculous. Deschamps needs to go if this golden France generation wants to get their hands at some silverware, otherwise, they're doomed.
I'm not watching the game but it's a friendly. You can't read anything into it. The most important is to get through without injuries.
How many more years of him doing nothing do you need to understand that the penny won't drop?
Pogba was fine today.
You must be watching different games, he's easily one of best players in first half and set up a goal for his teammate to score but failed and doing ok in second half.
Well that’s just horseshit, isn’t it? He’s been one of France’s better players.
If you think this, you clearly have a bias against him and you need a new television. Not here to say he was all world, but not even close to being one if their worst players.
He was one of their better players and among few who passed the ball well.
Edit: btw your post is just nonsense if you really think he was anywhere near their worst players.
But it hasn’t been years of him doing nothing. And as said it’s just a friendly which essentially means feck all.
he has agenda when it suits him, if France has been losing, he would blame Pogba for it.
Yeah he kept the ball moving well I thought, don’t see how he can be put forward as one of their worst players after those shockers from Lloris and Sidibe.
That's just ridiculous. Sidibe, Lloris, Matuidi all had bad games, even Tolisso did nothing when he came on.
Pogba actually hit the post and tested the USA GK a few times. I'd say with Mbappe he was one of the better players in that game.
I think it was pretty clear he played fine in a match that nobody cared about on the France side.
Yeah, he was one of the better French players today.
Yes. After Matuidi, Kante, Griezmann, Giroud, Lloris, Mendy, Sidibé, Varane and Umtiti, he was the worst
Nonsense.
I don't think I've ever seen a player receives the same repeated tired criticism irregardless of how good or bad he performs.
It's obvious that there are so many wrong preconceptions about him and huge expectation that affect how some evaluate his play.

I thought same things.
Didn't watch the game but looking at the line ups Kante and Matuidi alongside him in midfield would suggest that he was given a lot of freedom to attack and influence the game. Is this how France are likely to line up to start the tournament? Not sure they have the passing quality from deep in that midfield and I would worry about Pogba and Grizemann wanting to play in similar areas. Pogba being capable of playing a more disciplined role while still providing passing quality from deep would solve a lot of problems for club and country.
Either way, he needs to make a mark on this tournament, make that leap forward in his mentality, and bring it to Utd next season. Is he unfairly criticized? Maybe, to an extent, but this level of critique comes with the territory of being a world record transfer. Great things are expected, doing alright is not enough.

Clearly show boating, he needs to play it simple... SELL HIM!
Am i doing it right?
Paul has had to be mentally strong enough to cope with some of the garbage said about him in the press.. seriously
Garbage post. I was watching the match and he was easily one of their better players. This is also backed up by the match ratings of a French newspaper.
Pretty decent read

Below parts from his former coaches and colleagues stand out and its astonishing Pogba has been unable to cut out these issues from his game for almost 10 years now

Lots of other things you could've taken from the article too.....how hard he works, how much he hates losing, how much of a leader he is.....perhaps he's cut out these issues and left only the bad
Mbappe isn't French?
feck me, you read that article and this is what you pulled from it?
Yes, that is what stands out for me. Because, in my mind, he has everything else as a top midfielder - creativity, power, presence and leadership qualities
What?
Mbappe got a 6 as well.
"He (Pogba) was easily one of their better players"
I didn't see the match nor do I have anything against Pogba. Was only pointing out that it's lazy reporting to write two sentences without checking if what you say is accurate.
Also, he could have been sublime or crap without it making much difference to me, it's performances in the upcoming world cup that matters.
Why do people want to make up negative lies about our own players?
Welcome to the Internet.
People arrive at their positions in a variety of ways, many of of which are clouded by emotion and attachment. If you're buying what Mourinho is selling, for example, you think Pogba is 90% responsible for his form this season, which you rate as poor. You somehow arrive at defending the decision to elevate sideways passer Scott McTominay and use him as some weird bludgeon to make a larger point. If you worship Scholes and Keane and think eras in football should easily be replicated, you look at everything lacking vis a vis the strengths of the golden Ferguson years. You somehow believe a Roy Keane like personality in 2018 would deliver a title with this current squad.
There's a script that some of these people feel they have to follow once they go down the rabbit hole.
You silly sausage.
Why do people want to make up negative lies about our own players?
Agendas.
People that said he has good performance against this unexperienced USA needed to rewatch the match again.
For all the attributes and the expectation he has, he was shite. He'd been allowed to have his attacking role, with Kante and Matuidi covering the midfield, but he was doing a little. And please, that showboating clip resulted nothing.
It is USA for feck sake. And this is a young inexperienced team. Why blame other players if you are expected to be the Game Changer ? That is the fact. Our Pogba, will never be the main man of our team. Even in France NT, he will never be the main man.
We thought that we bought a General, the Leader, the Changer, but sadly he is not and he wont be.
