Paul "the crock" Pogba

A lot of people scoffed at the attempt to sign Perisic but it's infinitely clear from what I've seen he's better on the left than any other option we have.

The entire club needs a lift but as siders said somewhere, there's no point in going mad in January unless the right option pops up. I'm not sure Ozil is it - a solid centre mid who can free up pogba would be my choice.

Agreed. We really missed out on Kante, he'd have been ideal.

said that. pogba without kante is 90m spent to get halfway to where we needed to be. something we've done year after year. and he looks arsed TBH.

Do not see him as a 10 at all, do you really want him spending a lot of time with back to goal trying to link the play? Is his passing clever enough in those tight areas, what about his movement? Tends to go static and rely on his strength to hold off players, that works in midfield when it is one v one, less reliable up against multiple defenders.

Still looks that he would be better running from deep with 2 more conventional midfielders behind him, a bit like Lampard at Chelsea. But what is best for Pogba may not necessarily be best for the team, which is why Mou keeps trying to develop him into a proper midfielder rather than this modern Gerrard brilliant problem he is.

He's got everything to him, but when it comes to doing it week in week out he's still way off. Still potential to a fair degree, he could do with stepping up and leading the team.

Will win player of the year multiple timez.

Absolute gem of a player.

Was a bargain in 2016 considering higuain went for £80m.

One of his best games for us. He's really good in wide areas where he's makes runs ahead of the ball.

Yeah, I reckon by the end of the second half Mourinho must have figured out that playing a 3 man midfield is far better for this team. Thank £#%&! the penny has finally dropped.

What a surprise - Pogba looking like a real player when not expected to pick the ball up in his own half.

In a photo uploaded to his Instagram page on Wednesday, the France midfielder could be seen wearing a state-of-the-art face mask which costs an eye-watering £2,000. The OPERA LED mask is described as 'painless, non-invasive' and is designed to provide 'skin rejuvenation treatments from the face to neck'. The OPERA official website claims the mask is part of the cosmetic daily routine of stars such as Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson and Chrissy Tiegen.

It doesn't matter if your eyes water, nobody will see them because you're wearing a weird mask.
