You mean the match that he played while he had a virus?My vote for most half arsed performance ever was against Newcastle last season. Made Southampton seem like peak Roy Keane in comparison.

They genuinely coincide with him being criticised or told off.The home leg against Sevilla last season, he came off the bench and put in a similar half arsed disgraceful performance.
It's definitely happened more than Saturday.
Literally the only performance you can point to him not trying was the last one. You're exaggerating how often that happens. Not every bad performance is him not trying. He's going to have bad performances while he tries.

He subbed him needlessly against palace at home at around 60 minutes when we had to score.
didn't start him against YB. Not saying it's OK, but no wonder he feels demoralised working with JM. It's difficult to fight for somebody you don't believe in.
Because a lot of these fans just want new toys every transfer window, they grew up playing football manager and want their fix of new signings. Pogba is by FAR our best midfielder, we spent 80+ million on him. He was brilliant for Juventus and is often very good for France. Played in an attacking team with some real quality around him and some coaching he would be brilliant for us. He strikes me as a player who is so bored on the pitch, nobody around him berates him when he is having a bad game, he has some of the sloppiest footballers around him and even when he does play well he has a manager who will gush praise towards players like Fellaini over him.
Anyone seen how well coached Sterling has been? If Guardiola had Pogba he would be a different player.
Can anyone think of any central midfielder, from any team ever, who plays football the way that Pogba does? I honestly can’t.
Watching André Gomes for Everton yesterday was so depressing. A young, skilful central midfielder who understands what’s needed to play that position. Always in the right place, always making the right decision. Playing the right pass at the right time. It’s a position where the very best players consistently do the simple things well. Not a position for show-boaters or someone who struggles to stay focused on what’s going on around him.
Pogba just doesn’t play the game like any CM I can think of. And that is surely a big fecking problem? Or am I missing something? Can anyone else name a world class CM - from the present or past - that Pogba is close to emulating?
Memphis was labelled lazy, arrogant, pub league player etc in his short spell here but away from the United environment he's excelled . Lyon play much much better football than us it's not even a joke . There's something rotten at the club and I don't believe it's the players . The football we are being made to watch is not acceptable for big team and is affecting some players moraleThey genuinely coincide with him being criticised or told off.

Jesus.Came on. Did nothing.
Any surprise we went to sh*t when he came on? Or Matic had his best game all year without him? Maybe Pogba is the bigger problem not Matic. Maybe Matic needs some one decent next to him to let him play a bit
Came on. Did nothing.
Matic was terrible once again.
He was Man of the match.
The midfield absolutely pressed the feck out of Arsenal but as soon as he came on we went back to being shit. Herrara-Matic for the next couple of games plz. The cancerous presence can leave as he wish.
A manager should be looking to get the best out of his players, not drop them to prove a point. There is no way Pogba is inferior to any of the midfielders we had out there tonight, but instead of trying to build around him, he's decided to make the rift public and then get the fans on his back.
Herrera had a good game today. He doesn't need the team built around him to put in a good shift.A manager should be looking to get the best out of his players, not drop them to prove a point.

Wtf were you watching? Matic was awful!Any surprise we went to sh*t when he came on? Or Matic had his best game all year without him? Maybe Pogba is the bigger problem not Matic. Maybe Matic needs some one decent next to him to let him play a bit
totally agree. It wasnt the fact fellaini and lukaku were brought on at all. It was Pogba and only Pogba that didnt contribute to a press (sarcasm).The midfield absolutely pressed the feck out of Arsenal but as soon as he came on we went back to being shit. Herrara-Matic for the next couple of games plz. The cancerous presence can leave as he wish.
That's the problem, though, isn't it? We all know how talented he is but he so seldomly plays like it. He deserved to be dropped after his last game, and he did nothing to win back his place today.A manager should be looking to get the best out of his players, not drop them to prove a point. There is no way Pogba is inferior to any of the midfielders we had out there tonight, but instead of trying to build around him, he's decided to make the rift public and then get the fans on his back.
Wtf were you watching? Matic was awful!
Ah yeah cause that's what we want, to get the best out of MaticAny surprise we went to sh*t when he came on? Or Matic had his best game all year without him? Maybe Pogba is the bigger problem not Matic. Maybe Matic needs some one decent next to him to let him play a bit
He just doesn't give a shit any more, does he?
I have no idea how you come away from that game thinking Matic was awful. Perhaps you should consider a different sport.Wtf were you watching? Matic was awful!
UnbelievableAny surprise we went to sh*t when he came on? Or Matic had his best game all year without him? Maybe Pogba is the bigger problem not Matic. Maybe Matic needs some one decent next to him to let him play a bit
