How would you describe Bruno’s performance then?

So you're saying that middle aged men wasting time on forums might be clueless individuals? What kind of witchery is that?Yep. The only one capable of accurate long passes into space, we needed him to stay on to break the lines. Starting to think many in our fan base are clueless, expect the few genuinely good players we have to drag the likes of mcfred, maguire, an out of form rashford to wins in big games.

I was watching some Pogba highlights from 2017/2018 and I don't know if it is just confirmation bias, seeing what I expected to see, but he looked lighter, more agile and quick on the turn, with a quicker first step when driving away from opponents.
For those who have payed more attention to Pogba, how much has he lost physically from say 3-4 years ago, am I just seeing a greater deterioration there than has actually taken place?
I think the same. I think it's been the case for a couple of years but went under the radar.
Not sure if he's overdoing the weights, not doing his cardio or just an early Rooney type physical decline.
A lot of effort and not enough quality today.
That was a tragic performance. He seems to have dropped 10/15% in terms of fitness. Maybe he is still getting full fitness back, but if it is more permanent, then I fear he can no longer play in the PL. He just can’t get close to anybody out of possession, and he seems to have lost half a yard in possession too which is making him more sloppy on the ball.
Of course, the quality is there, and if he’s given time on the ball he’s the best we have IMO. But he won’t get that in many PL games anymore. Perhaps I’m overstating as he has had some games since his return like against Leeds where he dealt with a running team until he gassed, but the fitness seems to be worsening at a worrying rate.
