He was in Juventus.

He did look good at Juve sure, but it's a completely different pace of league. He wants too much time on the ball.

What I like best is when people go on about his strength, I must be missing something because he likes to try and battle and comes off second best half the time. He's the weakest strong player I've ever seen.

Pogba coming in for some flack I see, how is anyone surprised? Does anyone still think this guy is world class?

I dont know why he's getting flack other then the fact he's an easy target. no one dare criticise Bruno for some reason but I personally felt he was poor. Constantly giving the ball away, silly shots from miles away and next to no defensive quality at all.

I'll be honest I only really one eyed the game as I was working so I'm not talking about this specific game, more in general.

He wasnt anonymous last night though? Are people expect 30 yard screamers every week or something?

Barely watched it, was flicking between stuff, however the point is still correct. There are players you would love at your club, Pogba isn't one. He isn't good enough the majority of the time, obligatory imo. :)

In 2016 I went to the Turin derby, which was a bit more hi-octane than a standard Italian match (ended 4-2 iirc). He bossed the game, I think his potential is very high but for whatever reason he's been inconsistent the past couple of years.
 
I actually thought Pogba was one of the better players last night. In fact looking at our performance I thought we were actually decent.

Our problem is we were not clinical enough on goal and it cost us big time. Exactly the same as City in their game.

Martial had to score those goals as well as rashford.

This will come with time but looking at yesterday's performance as a whole Sancho is not the player we should be chasing. I would rather spend that 100 mill on a couple of squad players and maybe take a gamble on someone cheap.

Agreed, whilst their keeper made some decent stops, i'm not sure any of them were unexpected of a top level goalkeeper. The majority of the shots were close to him and gave him enough of a chance to save them. Granted on another day a few of those hit the back of the net, but really a great striker is giving the keeper no chance from a few of those

You do need to take into account the amount of games you'll have next season. You arent playing some dross from Austria where you can rest a few of the better players so you might be right with your squad players shout. I'm surprised Sarr isnt being linked all over the place.

That's why we need to learn how to beat Stoke City on a cold Monday night with squad players. Ole needs to have faith in his squad. Lingardhino isn't that bad if he can get his mind together for example.
 
Commentators hyper critical of Shahktar keeping possession despite watching Man City do exactly the same thing.

Pogba played very well. Had martial lifted one of his shots when he was 1v1 he would have scored a couple. But he went low every time.
 
Should be a decent Europa League final. Inter have the players on paper but I would never count Sevilla out in that competition.

I think Inter will finally win Serie A again next season as well.
