Pogba: the pacing predicament.

He's not cut out to the pace of this league, he's been blowing out his arse an hour into every game.

Always guilty of ball watching & getting caught flat footed. Lacks awareness when defending. Great on the ball though & far from the biggest problem we have

Wasn't his start at Juve somewhat erratic?

Agree that he has to up his game considerably, though.

still early days, but he needs to pull his finger out of his arse, asap. surely the most expensive player in history should have had some positive influence during the last 2 league games?

Motm against city on Wednesday. Mark my words.

Straight into their first team and almost from the word go we were being routinely humiliated by having let him go.

Now we've signed him back and being routinely humiliated again.

Brought us nothing but disgrace ever.

The disgrace was letting him go for £#%&! all in the 1st place. He cant be blamed for his price tag, thats down to the failings of Moyes & LVG putting us in a position where we have to pay stupid sums to get decent players in

Looked good midweek with Carrick behind him, someone to feed him, protect behind and someone he can swap passes with. Pushing him up behind Zlat alongside Fellaini was

Except when he's not. Like today

Needs to start playing it simple. We actually lose momentum when he's done 3 turns and 5 stepovers to gain 3 yards

Agreed, he is not a number 10 but he could be the best box to box midfielder in the game if he ups his intensity off the ball defensively

Looked shocking today again. Performances seem to swing from good to £#%&!ing abysmal the last few games.

Seems to want an eternity on the ball all the time and insists on inviting tackles and conceding possession in poor areas.

Really does need someone next to him to do his donkey work for him because he's a complete £#%&!ing show pony at the moment.

Box 2 box KLAXON......


He's currently a passenger....

Hope he shoots again dead far out the box

He was utter shit on the ball today. Let's at least have it as it is

90 million quid for Europe's best young midfielder. Be great when he plays.
