Looked disinterested.
Youtube highlights, and social media trendings.Genuine question, we keep being told by many that he has all the talent in the world. At what? I can see quick turnover penetrative passes, genuinely brilliant, often. That’s not enough for £90m. What else?
Maybe he should stop trying to make those shitty out-muscle play he likes to do and focus more on quick passes.
It's not even that good - how many times he lost the muscle contest? a lot, and the ball? free gifts to opposing team to counter.
Amazing!
He have the tendency to make football complicated.
Didn't need to mention him because he was fine today, but Shaw has a classic move he does, even if he is a fullback, running down the line is so far from his game that you can spot him halfheartedly chase down a ball he thinks is a lost cause, then in the last moment he realises the ball was perfectly fine so he starts sprinting. Sometimes he'll get it sometimes he wont, but he always does that move and it looks ridiculous because most players try their hardest to reach any ball, even lost causes. This guy is just assuming he wont reach a perfectly good ball, it's horrible to see that really. Not to mention Lindelof who is waiting for every opportunity to pass taking too many touches and constantly waving his arms to signalise "your press is really effective".We have quite a few trademark moves like that in the team. Maguire lumping a diagonal ball to the opposition defense/GK/out of bounds. Wan-Bissaka taking one touch forward then immediately passing back. Fred taking 3 touches when he can take one. And yes, this Pogba move of slowing the game down for no reason other than bully a player but losing precious momentum in the process.
If this was to happen and he came out roaring like he did last time can we rename the "new manager bounce" to the "new Pogba bounce"?One thing is for sure that he wouldn't cry if Solskjaer will be sacked.
Wide. Near the touchline, back to the stands, so he cannot be pressed in the middle of the pitch.He was good when he came on. I do wonder how he fits into the first 11 right now though.
I agree, looks more comfortable in protecting the ball in those areas and creating some space. I just really want to see him up his tempo at certain moments, it's what sets him back from fully unleashing his true potential, in my opinion.Wide.

Played well when he came on I thought. Something of a Fellaini role, to keep hold of the ball.

Pretty much. Whats the most disappointing with this his his lack of fight. You can tell DDG have responded well to the challenge of facing tougher competition for his place. After Bruno has arrived I feel like Pogba has almost just given up. It's really sad to see really talented players struggle with those things.Hard to see a way forward for him now. He can't fit in a midfield 3 with Bruno, they leave us too exposed to play with just one other. They're equally as creative but he lacks the fight Bruno has so will not get ahead of him. He's one hell of an impact player of the bench but there's no way he'll be content with that.
Super sub...He was good when he came on. I do wonder how he fits into the first 11 right now though.
Yep, this is right. You just need to add that preferably he would be in a seated position wearing a tracksuit and we've found his best position finally.
90 million bench player.
Yeah, he's definitely on the way out.
Come on Juve, cough up.
So You’d prefer James and Lingard coming on instead of him?Honestly as good as he looked, I'd be looking to sell him. We really don't need him.
No I prefer Donny. I don't see the point in limiting Pogba to the bench, he's not gonna be happy with it. Sell him for a load of money and use it to improve the team as a whole (RW and DM).So You’d prefer James and Lingard coming on instead of him?
It’s probably what will happen I’d imagine at the end of the season .No I prefer Donny. I don't see the point in limiting Pogba to the bench, he's not gonna be happy with it. Sell him for a load of money and use it to improve the team as a whole (RW and DM).
Seconded. And keep him away from midfield.Keep him as 10 minutes cameo option please. Suits everyone.
This situation isn't feasible long term. Some players can accept that role and some will neverSo You’d prefer James and Lingard coming on instead of him?
