Too much on his shoulders. He can't do $#@! in the midfield if your partners are Padoin and Sturaro against Roma.

It's all garbage because he plays deep nad has a lot of defensive work to do and at the same time he's expected to be a difference maker in attack. Too much pressure and duties on him.
We had a guy that did exactly this game in game out without breaking a sweat, but we decided to sell him for peanuts.

I wanted Chiellini to tackle him at one point.

Handing him the #10 was awkward and the lad is definitely reacting in the worst way possible. All these summer move rumors and big-cash put early hope on him 'leading'. He is no #10. Should've kept his #6 and 'status'.

Now, we should sign a star midfielder to take some of the pressure off him. Unlikely though.

Not happening. He will have to man up or ask to be sold.

i mean its one thing if you are a leader in a team, but if you play that bad,
you better shut your mouth and keep working your ass off.
great leaders are born out of chaos...things were all over the place today and his attitude reflected it. i personally would never be one to oppose a sale. he may be an entity in terms of talent (the extent of which is still somewhat debatable in my mind)...but leadership and composure on and off the ball that helps tie it into something that can be of use to the progression of the CLUB...im ust not seeing it...he may have scored some important goals but mentality will determine how clutch he can actually be...that free kick from udinese game still haunts me lol

He cant handle the pressure on his own. Its that simple really


Wait till Marchisio returns
That's part of the problem. Pogba can be a good midfielder, but if he isn't able to take control himself, there is no way he is worth his price tag or the hype that he is somehow the next Ballon D'Or winner. Don't get me wrong, he'll be good, but I have serious doubts if he'll ever be 120 million euro good. The problem also is all the hype is making him think he is 120 million euro good. For that valuation, it is probably prudent to sell.

This is the season he gets found out as just another excellent midfielder and not the second coming of christ that warrants 100 mill.
^^ tbh we should've sold him for 100m when we could. still a great player but Vidal is still better and I doubt he'll ever be better than vidal at his peak.
