Noticed that as well. He looked gassed in the second half

Was great for us in the first couple of seasons, but I think it's a good time to say goodbye. Good luck at Barca

As one of my best friends put it, nowadays footballers (especially midfielders) are required to be top athletes as well. The game demands dynamic, athletic and strong players in midfield on top of football ability. Pjanic doesn't tick any of those boxes and will get caught against those that do..

I have nothing against Pjanic, but the current state/form he is in now, he's just a liability in midfield. He's not linking up the different lines, and barely gives any through balls that split the opposition. Not to mention the way he covers the midfield defensively, any half paced individual...

Pjanic' passing is definitely better than Pogba's. Pogba probably has more shots, but nowadays they always end up somewhere in row Z behind the goal.
