Pogba show tremendous resilience while searching for a haircut that will give him back his abilities.

It seems like the 11th try was the right one, congratulations !!

Only completing 3 of 4 passes as the world's most expensive midfielder is embarrassing, and surely one main reason why Man United won't win anything of note.

Commendation for scoring a good goal when Lingard scored just as good a goal in the same game

Worth what we paid just for his celebrations alone.

The guy just oozes swag. Some have it, many don't.

I'd rather have someone in midfield who can pass to a teammate than someone whose celebrations of meaningless youtube goals ooze swag tbh

Henderson

Don't spoil this for me Helmut

ok Sorry,

One of the better midfielders (than Hendo) I can think of is Kroos then

I'd agree that looks like swag for a 15-16 year olds in school. I saw kids in school do these things near the canteens, basketball courts etc when i went to meet my old teachers.

Already beasting and confirming himself as the best CM in the PL although being played out of position many games.

Pogba had like 3 bad games and everyone started freaking out. He is a beast.

This is still a valid thread.

He indeed is the worst €120M player out there. Being MOTM against some team named Zorya or trash like Palace doesn't mean he has erased the criticism all of a sudden.

He falls flat on his ass when he needs to carry the midfield. Definitely not the kind of player you'd build a team around.
This type of heavy criticism is warranted because that's kind of hype he generates for himself.

I don't like this opportunistic bumping of threads. He's been pretty mediocre for United overall thus far.

Yeah. His shtick is entertaining for kids probably but for most part, it's cringe worthy as hell. In this respect, this goof is not missed at all.

Yes, he is the worst 120m out there, and also the worst, and also the only one.

OMG Dead

Most dispossessed player in the league.

Very good point, @Sugar.
Add to this 'most dispossessed' fact the fact of his horrendously low pass completion rate - not even 85% completed in the league - and a clear picture emerges.

You wonder why Man United, with their most expensive squad ever, can't stay close to the bloody top 4 of their league - look no further than Pogba's poor central midfield attributes

I'm waiting for Sports reaction to all these negatives (stats and comments). He'll likely say he hasn't had enough time to adjust !! to bot league and Mourinho,, LOL.

Pogba is also a player who takes a lot of risks and plays risky passes. I wasn't his biggest fan but if you watch him he really does have talent. He's putting it together this season

What do you mean 'he's putting it together this season' ?

This has been his worst season by far in the last 4 years. I really dint know scoring an odd long ranger and making a pass or two against lame-ass teams equals putting it together or whatever.

Remember when 'some' people suggested he was going to have a 20/15 season

Before all the "defenders" speak, let me set the record straight.

Pogba is a good, maybe very good midfielder, who happened to be available for resale at a time when there are an abundance of teams in need of good midfielders and he was the only one (of quality) available. However there was so much hype about him (largely here by the "defenders"), that his price tag, put out there by his overly $)&@ agent, went way over a proper market price. To the point were the richest club in the world said not interested!!! And Mourinho and Man U got suckered in thinking there was competition for him. A superstar, game changer such as a Messi or a Ronaldo would warrent that price tag, but a midfielder, Never!

So as a result, this "poor" Pogba will never be able to measure up to the price tag.

Pogba's pretty *bleep* great tbh

Also, we all know why Uncle Flo decided Pogba doesn't warrant that price tag, and it's not because Pogba is a midfielder, but because he's a black midfielder.

Great player but 120 million is quite a bit. But, 90 million for Higuain is worse. Also a great player.

If he's been mediocre, all other CM in the league suck. Only the Bruyne has been similarly good to him, for some period, then went to suck again.
