Honestly, I think he'd be amazing for City. Imagine him & De Bruyne together under Guardiola?
 
He gets space at international level he never gets in the premier league.

You give him space like that and he will kill you.

Think he'd be tailor made for PSG. They desperately need a creator in midfield, and he'd be playing the same balls to Mbappe and Neymar as he does for France. With Verrati and Wjnaldum in there they'd be a top team.

Unfortunately for then though looks like Pochetino is trying to implement 5 at the back for them
 


That shot that got stopped by the all-time great save from Patricio was spectacular
 
The fact that our manager/board can watch these performances and continue to prioritize spending 80m on a winger instead of a holding MF is very disappointing. He will struggle again this season and leave on a free to go play the best football of his career elsewhere.
 
For some players. Bruno doesn’t seem to find it easier playing in a better team. And it’s not unreasonable to read into that.
There will always be exceptions, but generally footballers will find it easier playing in a better team. I haven’t watched Bruno enough for Portugal to know how he usually does.
 
Great performance again, got an assist, his pass to Mbappe led to the (bs) pen, almost scored a worldie, put Mbappe through another time in the first half...
 
MOTM. Easily Frances best and most important player and unlucky not to score the winner

Yeah agreed. Particularly creative players who are a bit more interested in strutting their stuff than grinding out wins.

It’s a fair criticism of him for sure. He’s just not a player that wants to do the nitty gritty.

Yeah, and I get why that annoys people. Especially with English football culture / commentary. But asking him to do the nitty gritty is like asking Netzer, Socrates, Platini, Liedholm, Rivera, Zidane etc. to do it. Sure it can sort of work but it's a stupid use of resources and belies a misunderstanding of the individual at a fundamental level.
 
It's amazing how the PL is overrated. Pogba has had many good games in the PL for Utd too, it has feck all to do with this mythical great pace

If my count is right, 9 players from Portugal today are in the PL.
 
Ole & Carrick need to do everything to prevent him from becoming another Veron for United.

The lad is obviously destined for greatness and best years still ahead of him.
 
Doesnt matter if Mctominay/Fred/anyone else has box 2 box capabilities. When Pogba's playing CM, let him do his thing. The partner's job has to be to sit back and shield the back 4.
 
Just. Buy. An. Actual. DM.

He's been brilliant and would be for us if we gave him a platform to do so, just like other teams have and other teams will do if he does move on.

Seeing McTominay rush forward with Pogba holding in the EL final was just ridiculous.
 
Agree. IMO he even had a bang average first half today before massively improving in the second one. There's nothing different. People really are inventing narratives.

He's inconsistent for them as much as he's inconsistent for us.
:lol:

At some point, it has to happen as It's becoming almost like common knowledge, rather than football opinion.

I've been saying this for ages - whenever I've seen McTominay partnered with Pogba. He's the least self-aware player, I've ever seen play for us.
 
The majority of people on this forum think Rashford & Bruno are more technically gifted footballers than him. Let that sink in.

We have a Rolls Royce and we use it like a Reliant Robin. Ole has blood on his hands. Benched for McTominay & Fred FFS :wenger:
 
Respect him please


The hate is too strong. It’s not about ability, it’s personal. He’ll never be respected by the majority of this fanbase. “Mctominay is better” never ever forget.

Pogba is just better at football. I don’t know why so many refuse to admit that. He’s technically far superior.
