Not one to bash Pogba normally. But he doesn't seem invested in games and clearly wants to be elsewhere. I hope he gets a move in January.

I understand emotions run high after a poor result. But this is just simply deluded.
I'm not even going to talk about a hypothetical from a previous match, that didn't even happen.
Embarrassing post.
Reverted back to Jogba today
Silent Domination.
Man he just has no urgency to his game whatsoever
Every game is a Sunday kickabout

Iv'e had hungover and overweight mates playing Sunday league coming off a Christmas day bender putting in more of a effort than Pogba did today. Looked incredibly lazy and disinterested.
People thinking Pogba is a 10 baffles me, look at the runs Bruno makes, Pogba simply can not match that ability to cover ground
What about off the ball? Did Pogba give his all?He was fine with the ball. Couldn't get into the game much. People calling it an embarrassing performance
It's not deluded, he was stood still flat footed when he should've had his eye on the overlapping runner and tracking his movement. Head in the clouds when we're defending a lead, it's shockingly bad.
Was completely off the pace today, and didn't really fight to get there, either. Bringing him on was detrimental. Not good enough.
Exactly, he is extremely useless in defensive areas, either is caught ball watching or makes stupid unnecessary tackles to give pens away. Just staying with his man is the most basic things that you need to do in football, does not matter which level you play at.
Not blaming him solely, but as you said these defensive brainfarts have caused us to lose points before.
Serves me right, wanting him to come on.
For all his downsides, at least James runs and tries.
Zero defensive workrate today.

It was his fault, it was his man that assisted the goal.
Their second goal perfectly exposes what pogba lacks in his game. As a midfielder, he doesn’t seem want to improve his defense part of game. He watched left and right, pointed figures to let somebody else fill the space exposed just like a general rather than do it by himself, even though there is nobody else around except him.
I normally hate to single out a player, but this is a team sports, you have to help teammates and everyone helps each other.

I can’t even remember the start of the goal so I can’t comment on that. But, we could’ve just marked the only threat they had with one of the three defenders we had doing nothing in the box. That’s what cost us the goal. Defenders need to defend sometimes.
if you want to play Pogba use him i CM of annonimus mcT not for left wing for Martial this one is on Ole aż playing James nad Lindelof as rb. Unbelievable from our management.
Fred actually tracked the runner, but strangely abandoned him to close down a player already closed down by Shaw. But blame it on Pogba. This site has become appalling, fans with their own already predetermined narratives just looking for excuses to bash players at any opportunity.
You'll notice he was stood completely still watching the ball instead of paying attention. Bored of his dopiness.
Pogba lost the ball today continually when he dropped into midfield. So no that fixes nothing.
There would have been no cross for the defenders to deal with if he’d done the basics that 12 year old midfielders in my son’s team are aware of.
Doesn’t surprise me at all. That’s always what is going to hold Pogba back. But I place greater emphasis on defenders being able to defend. And they didn’t even try.
That was a Pogba performance. He puts in more 5 out of 10 performances than he does 7 or more.
It's a joke.
There's four United players in the box against Vardy. Vardy is still able to score unchallenged.
But it's Pogba's fault.
He was shit today, there's no arguing that. But it wasn't his fault we didn't get the win.
Come on, that's harsh. On this one, once the player moves beyond the midfield, it's up to the defence to cover.
Just seen it again, yeah it’s shit. But what are our centre backs doing? They’re at least as culpable, more so for me. They keep talking his great movement. He moved backwards two yards and our defenders aren’t even looking at him.
Quality control
Crap post
Good argument, this should seal your promotion from the newbies.
I find it concerning how fans on here drop standards to below a PL level for pogba.
It was poor play from Pogba as well as some other players. I know he gets a lot of stick but thats no reason to ignore his obvious mistakes. Doesnt mean others didnt also make mistakes.
Our CB’s could have probably done better, sure. No doubt they’re getting shit in their respective threads. This thread is about Pogba though. Silly twat cost us today with a really basic error/carelessness/laziness. And that’s annoying.
There has to be a certain amount of personal disdain that the Pogba thread contains the most blame posts for the game today. Frankly amazing and annoying.
Weird decision to dump him at LW late on.
Barely got involved.

Just giving an honest assessment of your post, that's all.
I didn't feel he really did anything after he came on and he always has problems following runners. But to use this incident as a stick to beat him with is overreaching. Fred actually did track back and it would have been idiotic for Pogba to double mark down the corner. He just couldn't have forseen Fred abandoning that area to close down another Leicester player, who was already closed down by Shaw.
I feel Pogba is playing within himself. He pulls away from challenges and plays it generally safe. He's either lost confidence or fears injury.
The goal wasn't his fault but yeah "people here" see him anywhere near a goal we concede and assume it's his fault.
So, I don't think t's worth it anymore with regard to anything related to Pogba.
He's so nonchalant and pedestrian. We need more rapid, mobile and tenacious players in the engine room. Fred was great today and Caicedo looks like the right type of player.
I suggest you look at the replay again. It is really frustrating to see he didn’t move to the huge space exposed to help out the cross. It is not to say he can definitely block the cross, but the way he did not put any effort for the team in that moment is truly unacceptable.
I guess he think himself a striker.
Mctominay was a waste of space today so I doubt taking him off would have done any harm at all.
I don't even care about a possible mistake he did that happened before their equaliser. He has proved again and again that he struggles higher up the pitch in between the lines, he doesn't turn quick enough and lack awareness. He doesn't hold the ball up well in that position. He also struggles to really get into games and doesn't give it his all if he feels he is not at the centre of attention.
Pogba is a reactive CDM playmaker that lacks awareness, determination, tackling skills and concentration. He is not press resistant enough to play in midfield at club level. He isn't a great player. Playing him anywhere but there, without taking the good with the bad is stupid. As of now we're in a title-race and gambling on a player we know is not good enough to play his own position at this level, just moving him around because he has some creativity and vision isn't a smart move. I get that we want a fee from him but he shouldn't have been involved at all in this game, or in any game unless it's against someone who doesn't press any midfielder.
