He is still young and learning the game. He has all the qualities to be great. Just needs to put it together and with experience, the game will slow down for him. Those miskicks will turn into goals.
Was the same with Ronaldo. Pogba is on a similar level talent wise.
Poor from him today but he wasnt the only one who was fluffing his lines and missing shots.
You think we will pay that amount for a Liam Miller? Obviously when we have identified that Pogba is worth that amount then he has to be a game changer for us.
Its always about what we paid for him. Its just a subconscious expectation that baked into players like Pogba.
Its not about vidal pirlo or marchisio behind him, its about pogba on and off the ball. seria a and epl is a different level of football .You need to play one touch football and have a better work rate than pogba to win first and second balls in midfeild and be in control and effective on the ballAt Juve he was in a midfield with 2 of Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio the bulk of the time, he's 23 and not the steady head game controller that some want him to be at this stage
I expect him to be a player who will win games for us with his individual brilliance. Anything less than that and he will be a disappointing signing for me.I expect much more form Pogba but I'll never expect him to be an £89m player.
Its not. Regardless of the fee, he was labeled as one of the best midfield talents in the game. Expectations would be high regardless of the fee, granted the fee doesn't help, but lets not act like he wasn't a highly rated and coveted player regardless
Only a few European games to speak off. Juventus always stroll through the league.It's surprised me. Was he like this at Juventus as well or has the fee and expectation gone to his head? I expected a winner's mentality; someone to stand up when the pressure is on. He seems the opposite to me.
Indeed.When Treble Winning is the voice of reason in a thread, you know it was a bad day at the office.
I expect him to be a player who will win games for us with his individual brilliance. Anything less than that and he will be a disappointing signing for me.

Pogba is 10 steps behind Scholes Zidane Bastian schweinsteiger Lampard Xavi and iniesta at the moment.
That's absolutely your problem.I expect him to be a player who will win games for us with his individual brilliance. Anything less than that and he will be a disappointing signing for me.
Labeled by who though ? People who wanted to inflate his hype no doubt.
I haven't seen him play well in a big game ever. I genuinely want somebody to tell me one game he has in the last year or so.I wonder this too. Has he ever played well in a final?
So you don't believe he is one of the best midfield talents in the game?
This is just it though, neither do I.
However, when he's starting every game and being treated as our most important midfielder, he can't start disappearing when he's needed the most.
If we're talking money/value, I see Pogba as a 30-40m level attacking mid. When he capitulates, or 'bottles it' or whatever, he literally plays like a 5-10m Championship player - it's a problem because he won't be subbed, or, it seems, dropped.
Our midfield is built around a skillful, confidence player who disappears when the going gets tough.
Lets find a different role for Pogba, and allow him to do what he's good at, because this role isn't it.
So basically expecting a player being touted as one of the best midfielders around currently and being called a future Ballon d'Or hopeful to be winning games for us is too much?That's absolutely your problem.

You said yourself that anything less than him winning games on his own is a disappointment to you. I don't have that problem, it's your problem.So basically expecting a player being touted as one of the best midfielders around currently and being called a future Ballon d'Or hopeful to be winning games for us is too much?
The PL is faster and Pogba needs to realize that it's not going to meet him half way, I agree there, but the difference in his game when he has someone next to him to be the boss and run hard is marked.
I agree that it's a team problem. What Pogba needs to work on is his finishing
Expecting him to play like a pro footballer is pretty realistic though, and he didn't look like one todayHe will come good but only if we give him patience and stop creating ridiculous expectations for him. He has enough talent to win the Ballon d'Or when Messi and Ronaldo inevitably fade due to age. He could be the best player in the world in 3 or 4 years. But to expect him to play like a prime Zidane NOW isn't realistic.
Did I say it's your problem? Why did you butt in with your point then?You said yourself that anything less than him winning games on his own is a disappointment to you. I don't have that problem, it's your problem.
