In 6.5 games for club this season Pogba has 4 goals and 2 assists and people are still constantly going on about how bad he’s supposedly been.

But what about that one touch and pass he made in the 54th minute in the game vs Brighton? Absolutely horrible play that a top player would never make.

Or something like that.

Thing with pogba is sometimes it takes 3 touches for him to control the ball down. Other than that he is pretty elite at everything else.

No it doesn’t. Not when it’s an actual pass and not someone just sending a ball towards him anyway they can. Control is one of Pogba’s top qualities and it’s hilarious that anyone thinks otherwise.

Vestergaard is a terrible player. That was their Van Dijk replacement with all those millions in the bank?

And forget Ferguson cost his team more than 120M because of his incapacity of seeing the talent of someone who was seen as a major talent from age 10.

Not great defensive coverage in the box there. Fred came down way too low which left the Wolves player with a boatload of space at the top of the box.

Based on how inconsistent his play has been, he'd given a few blowdryer treatments to Pogba and probably forced him out again. :laugh: "A ****ing disgrace!"
Not saying he wouldn't, but Ferguson would be utilizing him better to his strengths.

While I’m not gonna defend losing a talent like that, cause it was bad, it was more about Raiola.

We constantly see people here go off about agents and Raiola specifically, and how they/he ruin the game with their stunts, and then when a manager stands up to him, we laugh.

3 games in a row Sanchez has been substituted, didn't play Wednesday, and only had 1 full game at 90 mins. this season.
3 goals in 23 appearances now.
Wow, he is been bang average.

You don't "stand up" when a player of Pogba's calibur is the question here.
Fergie didn't think much of Pogba and it was a pretty bad evaluation.

He’s awful. Absolutely awful.

Martial scored at a much higher rate last season before Sanchez replaced him. Scored more by December than Sanchez has since he arrived.

I know it was a bad evaluation and I know that this is going to sound bad because it was a player of Pogba's caliber but if you are a manager that is around for 26 years, you're bound to have some bad choices. I don't think any of us are complaining though.

For how Mourinho sets up you need a much more clinical striker than Lukaku or you need wide players who are scoring a lot. United don’t have that at all.

Alexis was great in preseason and has shown flashes last year, but this year hasn’t been good at all. The rotating winger on the other side hasn’t done much either.
