Paul Pogba (73 Viewers)

[Cronios]

He was far better than Marchisio and Vidal in the first half, but in the second one he was terrible...

1 "world class" performance in 4, so let's go easy with that hype, huh? Not saying he was bad though. Unbeatable in the air.

 

[Trequartista]

I agree with Lion about his positioning, he gotta work on it.

 

[Mirko]

The problem is he just doesn't engage himself. Invisible for long long stretches. He was invisible even against Udinese for long streches.

Until he gains what he needs (confidence/tactical knowledge/... ?) he is a liability. Like playing with 10 men for 9/10 of the match. He has huge redeming properties in his long range shooting, long rage passing and heading. But I don't think this pluses overway the negatives yet. Everything will be different when Asamoah returns, but for now he should be on the bench. Play him when we need a goal otherwise Padoin/Giaccherini are better choices.

 

[TrezJuve]

He is no liability, let's not exaggerate.

 

[Enron]

People overreacting.

 

[Trequartista]

People overreacting.

It's astonishing, isn't it.

He did not play very well but to say that he is a liability...

 

[Mark]

Wasn't bad, just needed to get open to create more options.

 

[Lion]

I agree with Lion about his positioning, he gotta work on it.

yeah i am not expecting him to have pirlo/xavi style movment but ffs when there 5 meters of space in front of you, and you can see bonucci and caceres desperartly looking for omeone to pass the ball 2 that is not man marked, then move into space. don't just stand waving your arm around

What mistakes did Pogba make today?

 

[Lion]

not running

 

[Mirko]

No mistakes per say and actually even a good pass or two. But the problem is he just drifts out of games. If Marchisio was critized for that Pogba should be too. Talent is there for all to see, but he just isn't there the whole match and the team suffers for it.

 

[Bjerknes]

He didn't really drift out of the match. He was pretty much stringing together passes consistently all night long, even more so than Marchisio. If some want him to take more risks, then fine, but perhaps Conte doesn't want that.

 

[ALC]

from what I saw he was still the best midfielder out there so whoever is dissing him, I offer you a most wholeheartedly howler smiley

 

[JCK]

Bossed the first 30 minutes or so, went into Casper mode until the half time whistle. Not so flashy in the second, mostly static.

What mistakes did Pogba make today?

He lost the ball a couple of times unnecessarily. Losing the ball on his position is more fatal since he's playing right in front of our own defense. I understand he's trying to emulate Pirlo's role but he finally toned it down as the match progressed.

 

[Ahmed]

Genoa camping at the edge of their own box, even Pirlo would have struggled.
