No team is paying anywhere near that. He's all hype and marketing
I don’t really care how late he picked it up. Football, like most sports, is about reactions. The team-mates beside him reacted appropriately. He did not. Reminds me of that stupid fecking penalty he conceded against Liverpool. Careless, cowardly, unprofessional, whatever. There’s a reason what we saw him do tonight is incredibly unusual.
This 100%. Matic looked the better midfielder today. And worked harder.
Pogba conned us. He was never an 80 million pound player. I personally think we should sell him. But we will probably keep him. But we need to sign another MF as well.
Well he's not given away 2 goals in the last 4 games.
Give it a rest.Pogba is not committed to this club, hence he has self preservation as his instinct above the team.

A mere con?
Looks scared to do anything. Very strange
Looked dead on his feet for most of the game. Tbh I’d rather McTommy started that game over him. We needed runner and battlers. If we don’t qualify for the champions league is anyone expecting Pogba to be here next season?
He is not good enough. He does not work hard enough for starters. Then he cannot control or do the correct thing under pressure. He is not consistent at all.
We have to hold our hands up and say we were conned. So how long more are we going to put up with this.
My Liverpool mate is jealous of Greenwood but he always bursts out laughing about Pogba because he is nowhere good as the hype makes out. How long more can we put up with it.
For christs sake, Mark Noble looked better than him tonight.

At this age he still look like potential then final product.
On his day he can be world class but You can't build team around him.
He is too inconsistent as player.

As I keep saying he cannot run a midfield.
You can't completely ignore the pre-lockdown form though, I was as surprised as anyone when Fred started to look like an actual footballer but fair fecks to the guy he turned a lot of heads and rightly earned his place. Now maybe he's a player that needs rhythm to perform and so he's suffered since losing his place but I still don't see how we'd be any worse.
Pogbas not even trying things, he's taking 5 touches to make a sideways pass, if he was trying things and they weren't coming off I can forgive that (see Bruno) but he's not even trying atm imo
Aarrrhh, poor pogs.
Grealish and Van De Beek for Pogba. Would people take that? That’s if we can trick Madrid into thinking Pogba is worth £100m.
Preach.
I think he'll stay another season regardless. Would be best for us if we got rid though. Would be a Rooney in 2014/Sanchez 2018/De Gea 2019 type of mistake though if we gave him a new contract. Big wages, big reputation, never backs it up on the pitch and definitely not when it actually matters.
When is this fake narrative going to end?
Pogba is not a great player, he is average level and clumsy, who also manages a hollywood pass once in a while.

Team-mates clearly picked up the flight of the ball better. I think it's harsh to lay into Pogba given the instinctive reaction and our lack of a full picture. The simple explanation makes the most sense here.
There's plenty of other valid criticisms of him.
The "cowardly" rationale makes even less sense the more I think about it. A coward would've dodged much faster.
He just looks totally knackered. Ole let our midfielders run themselves into the ground. No need to go completely overboard again. The pen was stupid of course.
Bet he's glad there's no lap of honour to make it two seasons in a row where someone points out to him that he's 'f'ing shit'.
Compared with the top midfielders in the league he's an absolute disgrace. He's far worse now than in his first season with us.

Remind me the last time you saw a professional footballer lose the flight of the ball and react by flinging his arms up to push the ball away from him? The problem here is the nature of his “instinctive reaction” and elite sports is all about making the correct reactions on instinct.
Ole gave him the first hour off in our last match.
He's one of the most talented players of his generation, but talent alone isnt enough. He's the French Van der Vaart. Not strong enough mentally.
So surely this is the end of the line for Pogba? That handball is ridiculous, you take that in the face and keep your hands down, 99% of footballers just wear that one. I’m livid, what a prize c*ck, get him out of our club
There's a difference between protecting your face (which everyone defending him is using that argument) and throwing your arms up away from your body...
Yeah I watched the highlight again like ten times and I don't think he was coward. It was just pure instinct to protect his face.
However if you watch the highlight again you'd see everyone were ready to the shot but him. Bruno was running up to block the shot, man this guy read the situation super fast. Others like Fosu-Mensha tried to turn away so the ball would not hit his face. But Pogba, he was like caught off that moment and just realised the situation after Rice shot. Then by his instinct he forgot that he's in the penalty area and raised his hand to protect his face. He's not concentrated and not focused at all. And imo, it's even worse.
No clue what he was doing with that hand ball.
Inexcusable.

...while lowering your face to the ball's level. fecking jump, man! Unbelievable.
Ole should make him stand on the training pitch with his hands behind his back while the whole team blasts shots at him.
True, he's had a really gruelling season with around 15 appearances, and it's not even over yet!
His all action style, sprinting, pressing, covering every blade of grass, really does him no favours on the burnout front.
Shit the bed.
Tomorrow I'm going into work and deleting a random database, lets see if like Pogba I'll still be in this week or next.
Drop him, Ole he's incompetent

His lackadaisical approach to the game is unprofessional. He wont make success of his talent anywhere else if he doesnt learn to take responsibility. His general appreciation of the game in terms of concentration and tactical awareness despite playing in italy is just a shame.
He’s an important player and I’d rather he plays than not. But he’s dropped off a lot last few games as has the team. In terms of the pen- you need to take them on the kisser or turn the head and get it side on. You can’t go in a wall and put your hands up. Hate to say it but sadly think it’s shows his underlying mentality, which is reflected in the team- it’s soft as shi*e
I think he was trying to throw himself to the ground, then flung his arms up when it looked like he wasn’t going to get under the ball. If he’d just stood still (or turned his face away) it would have hit him on the torso. His face wasn’t in danger until after he shit the bed.
True.
He's not committed? All the indications are he'll likely sign a new contract very soon.
