Irritating formatting all right but they're not trying to pass it off as a Pogba quote |

While you can appreciate his quality, you also know that playing him in that formation is going to £#%&! us at some point.
If Ole wants two wide men playing higher up the field and pressing the back line, then surely Pogba at the tip of a 3 man midfield triangle, with The Scottish Player and Matic at the base (and McT given freedom to push forward when we have the ball) would make us far less exposed to what Pogba won't do, and able to capitalize on what he can. |

I know it’s playing people out of position again, but I think he could do well in that role giving him first team games before signing a proper defensive mid in January or next summer. Has pace and is composed on the ball enough to play that role imo. |

Matic is definitely not what he was, but I don't think he's fallen off a cliff the way it's being presented. I'd take an 80 year old Matic over relying on Pogba to do any defending. |

Think it was Dunk that mentioned it the other day, but he played there for Mourinho a couple of years back albeit for a couple of games. I just think Matic’s legs have gone now, he was terrible in pre season and I’d rather give a kid a chance there instead. |

Fourth goal again raised questions over the idea Pogba is lazy, which ironically feels the easy analysis. 3-0 up and he basically busts a gut to help us get another goal. I don't think he's a guy who isn't trying, but he tries too hard to stand out. He needs to realise that great players understand the Cruyff quote that simple football is the best football, but is the hardest to play. The third goal Pogba is playing simple football. When he does that he looks far better than when he's auditioning for a Zidane imitation highlights reel. |

He could also anticipate the simple pass to a teammate. Lay it off and wait to receive it back. No biggie. But he's no Paul Scholes. This lad is an attacking midfielder and has no place playing deep. |

He was trying too hard early on yesterday First game back at OT after how it ended last season, One of the senior players and probably feels like he has to become a leader? Not sure who said it but I agree he looks ‘bigger’ and not as lean as he used to? Or it’s the hair colour and just an illusion Quote:

Fergie would have them doing shuttle runs etc. |

I think it was Liam Brady who said the great central midfielders are already thinking ahead and Pogba's brain is a second behind. |
