Quintessential Pogba game right here.

Still a 9/10 performance. He lost the ball in the oppo half. More people to blame than just him FFS.

Kimpembe absolutely bottled defending it. Would have just stood him up but he panicked and sold himself
 
Good good. He can go home and rest now hopefully…

Get him on that plane with Bruno. That tackle on him you could see his tired man. Poor guy.
 
Are you saying this to the poster who said Pogba is a 'lazy twat' and should watch and learn from Daniel fecking James?

Anyways at least now few of these toxic people who called Pogba as 'lazy twat' can see how good he is.
Yeah, i was thinking about James and McT. They have most of games without doing anything but "hey, they gave everything". Pogba's general game is underrated and he gets criticsm as lazy fecker unless he scored a goal or made assist.
 
The defence has been shite mainly on the wings and the CBs have been horrible but you’re blaming Pogba. Meanwhile what is Kante doing in the midfield today

world class Kante who’s way better than anything we have that would let pogba do his thing in a two. He’s an attacking midfielder. He’s not a box to box in a PL 2 with any other one player in beside him. They are cutting straight though them. Xhaka? Seriously?
 
I hope we find a 50 million buyer for him, best time to get value from a depreciating asset.

Him and his scumbag agent have no intention of signing a new contract and that is clear as day.
 
Ordinary first half in an unbalanced team, majestic period in the second half, then mistake for the goal . Sums it up.

Would have to see it again but the pass into him was not the right one to make to be fair.
 
His fans are fecking cult-like. 5 cnuting years of under-performing and shite like Villareal but they still go starry-eyed by what he does for France. The day he leaves will be fecking beautiful.

It’s quite incredible.

“He’s played well for France, he deserves a new contract!“
 
He’s a confidence player & when his confidence is up, he’s world class.

I hope he stays, but if Ole’s plan is to play him in a restricted 2 man CM role, then we won’t get the best out of him & might be better for all parties to move on.

Bruno got benched for Renato Sanches.
 
He plays in moments, always has always will. When he's good he's good and then he'll do things that causes chances against

For the record I think he's been great in this tournament, even the first half today but you've got to accept the bad with the good

Err no it wasn't/isn't. The pen and the first goal came down the right side (his side).

He's played one wicked pass and had one goal.
 
A worthwhile investment for one decent performance every 8 games.

That cartwheel fella talks utter dross constantly
 
That’s Pogba for you with all his strengths and weaknesses!

Big time.

Great match for the neutral but a poor midfield display for the favourites against an average team. Cracking goal. He won me a few quid. He’s just not a PL box to box player and our fans acting like it’s any of our other players fault is tiresome to say the least at this stage
 
Not at all. He disappears when the team need to defend. He’s a classy attacker. Bruno is better. That’s all. He’s not a box to box.

They are both a level below WC.

Bruno is a possession sieve but will have better stats and will continue to chase back and keep morale high.

Pogba is a better passer and shooter from deep but will get pressed and lose possession in bad areas and drops his head if things go south.

Yes so Kante has to also take blame especially as the more defensive of the 2, or is it just that you have it in for Pogba?
 
He is as good as he wants to be. He's our most talented player by far and a world class talent, he just switches off and plays to his own rhythm and gets caught out sometimes.

You take the rough with the smooth, just like with Bruno you take the risky passes and ball losses.
 
His value went up by twenty million and down by twenty million in the space of 20 minutes.
 
Getting real tired of hearing how bad he is in a two, considering if you're watching France right now that's exactly where he's currently playing. The real issue is the only decent partner for him there is Fred, who has the positional sense of a child and doesn't do well under pressure on the ball. Obviously Kante is a perfect partner, but more a player in his mould who can clean up and provide similar energy to Fred but offers more of a presence on the ball.

Is Pogba perfect in a midfield two? No because he's not great in his defensive positioning even though his work rate and tackling has improved this year. But to suggest he's unplayable is just dumb, because as an attacking side having a player of that caliber being able to create chances constantly from deep is a weapon.

The real adjustment besides buying a DM is Bruno to quit playing like a fecking second striker. The longer he's been here the further up the pitch he just sits, and it turns us into a 4-2-4 set up that offers no one between the lines. He has to be more of a connector instead of constantly being obsessed with goals and assists, and the overall play of the side will improve.

His haters aren't any different, the day he leaves will be beautiful because the fans will find another scapegoat very easily and it will be the same.
 
Pogba loses the ball in the opposition half and everyone is thinking it's singularily his fault.

Absolute madness.

Frances entire team was pushed up too far for one.

Kimpembe defending was terrible too.

Loads of them where at fault for that. It was poor by the "team"
 
Yeah, i was thinking about James and McT. They have most of games without doing anything but "hey, they gave everything". Pogba's general game is underrated and he gets criticsm as lazy fecker unless he scored a goal or made assist.

Yeah but the poster you are discussing with was one of those guys who called Pogba as 'Lazy twat' and James is showing them up.

I agree about Pogba, I argued for years and then gave up. What people rate as good game is so different, people forget his good moments and highlight one or 2 bad ones, biggest mistake of them all is people rate him as defensive mid, expecting him to track runners, win tackles when that isnt his game.
 
He plays in moments, always has always will. When he's good he's good and then he'll do things that causes chances against

For the record I think he's been great in this tournament, even the first half today but you've got to accept the bad with the good
The problem is that the bad tends to happen when he's asked to be a player that he isn't. He's a moments player as you say. He's no more of a central midfielder than someone like Zidane or Iniesta is, each in their own way. Brilliant talent but is just used incorrectly because everyone wants to turn him into a deeper midfielder.

Agreed. It's still shows Pogba's big weakness in midfield but this was in the other half.
