In truth, for a world class player, he did nothing today. He wasn't bad but he wasn't good either. McTominay and Fred were much better than him.

Transferred his powers over to Scotty I see.
He was pretty alright when he had the ball, didn't think he impacted the game enough though. Our forwards were shocking today so I'm not going to be too harsh on our midfielders.

Very surprising and also unsurprising consensus of criticism. In no way did he have a bad game tonight.
He had a similar game to Messi really with the difference that Messi had one great pass for the goal they got.
Another big game passes him by.
It was another weak performance in a big game. Weird tonight as Scott and Fred were winning the midfield battle.
He won’t get in Barca or Madrid team. If they want to pay silly money for him then let them have him
I wonder if Barca fans are ripping into Busquets, Messi, Rakitic, Suarez et al after their performances?
Solid, apart from giving away the foul, but just missing the final ball (like the rest of the team). We played Barca and could’ve easily came away with something and people are still saying sell him and he’s a passenger.
He didn't. He had decent game, kept the ball well and his distribution was fine.
He was ok, better than recently, but couldn’t really make a big impact.
Why ? They got the win away from home playing in second gear. Didn't even need to break the sweat. By all means they didn't need to put much effort with how poor we're.
On the other hand we were the home team, losing and supposed to attack, create and score.
Difference is really clear when evaluating both cases.
You deserve a festival of face punches if you think he was poor today
Got a sense he'll get his big move to Barca or Real and he'll be one of those bombs that we'd be linked with, because he's not the main man.
I'm sure the 43 goals and 21 assists Messi has and the 24 goals and 11 assists Suarez has this season somewhat cushioned the blow of their "performances" tonight...
Plus, they won tonight so why would they complain?
No clue how he's getting slated today.
good midfield performance.

He was pathetic.
Average. Another big game passes him by and outshone by Fred and mctominay by far
Good game, imo.
But looking at your posts McTominay was fantastic? But he didn’t score or create anything from midfield?
True, but the needless criticism of a player who had a solid game is ridiculous. Reading drivel like he was a passenger feck sake
Wasn't up to the task.
Was he actually bad? Thought our whole midfield played fairly well today 
Was alright, better than of late.
it wasn't a bad performance in isolation, it's just that you simply expect more of him. He was outshone by McTominay and Fred, and for a player of Pogbas class and standing that's just not good enough. United need him to step up in important games and he simply doesn't. Very frustrating.
Scott was supposed to do the defensive and dirty work in midfield. Pogba was supposed to be the player to take our attack forward. A clear difference, again.
You can be fine with this. He wasn't typically bad, but underwhelming from our best player in a game we were losing that he hardly impacted the game except for 1 or 2 moments. Again, you can be totally fine with that. It just shows how rock bottom the expectation from some for our best player is currently.
Naah. Thats just your post..
I thought he was supposed to be world class, way above the rest of our team whom are supposed to be holding him back. Every team in the world are fighting over him and hes a future ballon d'or winner.
People need to stop making excuses for Pogba!
Another game he had little influence on. Yeah he did ok, but ok is not enough for a £90m player!
Please stop blaming others around him for HIS poor performances.
Both Fred and McT were able to step up on the day, so why couldn't Pogba do the same.
Jeez he was comprehensively outplayed tonight by Fred who has been ridiculed ever since joining Utd.
Still also the laziest player I've ever seen in a Utd shirt!

Question is upfront I think. He did have a few touch while facing the goal but our forwards seemed tk play too much through the middle at times.
He was a 6/10 tonight. Not good but not bad I think.

It's not ridiculous really when you think about it though.
He's a majorly inconsistent player, who flirts with the idea of leaving and flirts with other clubs, we then have posters on here, coming across almost as if he's a hybrid of Scholes and Keane, so when he puts in average performances like tonight, people are going to vent their anger in his direction.
I have no opinion tbh
Rashford needs a kick up the arse though.
Take pogba out and this side is complete buns. One of the few people in the team that have skill and look at how people are praising Mctominay because he runs and gives it his all but deep down he will never be good enough if you want to be a top team. Really shows that the old English mentality of praising graft over skill is still well and truly alive. The guy didn't have a great game but he didn't gave a bad game and some are acting like he had a bad game because they expect him to score some sort of worldie assist or goal?
I mean even Messi didn't do that and he's obviously more skilled than Pogba

I'm convinced people don't actually pay attention to the game these days. They just look at the result and assist/goal stats and come on here with opinions on the way the game went.
Scott and fred were both better than him, he was not bad, but not that good as well. 6 out of 10 for me.
He and the midfield consistently drove us forward. They cannot be blamed for Young's persistent failure to properly utilize the acres of space they created for him. Nor Rashford and an out if position Dalot being repeatedly ineffective in good attacking situations

Yes, I agree, but I think we have higher expectations. It wasn't that long ago he was being lauded by many on here as the best midfielder in the world, but tonight he was the third best midfielder in our team. I really had expected him to have a big game this evening, but it wasn't to be.
Barce midfielders didn't impact the game. Not by asssits or scoring. And Messi was off his normal game. The gap in quality showed in the two attacks. Not the middle.

He was the link player and got the ball out to Young and Shaw numerous times and followed into the box. He didn’t score, he didn’t assist. Neither did anyone else. Did we look outclassed in the middle? Not a chance you carry a passenger against Barca in midfield and match up well.
Anyway it’s a waste of time. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything positive about Pogba posted by you.
I criticized all of this too and even harsher than Pogba. Still I don't find any problem in expecting more from Pogba. As I said, not typically bad but didn't do much either, and that's not what's expected from him in big games, as far as I'm concerned.
This.
