He was tearing Italian football apart last season. What happened?

Series A is shit

Saudade

>>74487406
He had a lot of physicality in a slow, old league.

Now he's in a league that's full of physicality and pressing, he doesn't have the technique to succeed

Exposure.

>>74487406
he played for that one team from italy

he cared about football more than social media and emojis

Serie A is shit

>>74487406
Serie A is a joke.

Shitie A

Serie A lad. Also getting carried by Pirlo and Marchisio.

United should seriously think about dropping him. He's absolutely useless.

He's a dumb wog who can't adapt to the tactical nuances of a high-intensity league

Used to play with Pirlo Marchisio Vidal Bonucci Barzagli covering his ass.

Went to a shit team.

Juve had a great team around him. He was also paired with Marchisio which helps.

he played with defenders that actually defend, midfielders who covered for him and forwards who actually finished their chances

of course he's gonna look worse

He only played on the wing once (CL final) but everyone surely remembers the performance that put Pires to shame. In truth, only one term describes him properly - Pogba.

He had a world class playmaker and a world class workhorse doing all the hard work so he was free to roam around the pitch doing tricks and dabbing

He was in Juventus, a team that is currently tearing Italian football apart, and was doing the same before Pogba.

>>74487406
Played on what was by far the best team in series A. Carried by the genius and discipline and safety of Asamoah, Lichtsteiner, Pirlo, Marchisio, Bonucci, Barzagli, Vidal...etc. He looked great because he had no responsibility. No that he has to be the focal point when other were he is shit. Poooogba.

He was trying to chest the ball down from a long kick again today but it just ended up with him bumming his opponent. I don't know why that worked in Serie A but not here. Maybe the players here are stronger or maybe there's less discipline which gives less space.

But he wasnt, fuck off

Italian football is so exciting that literally dozens of people travel to away games.

>>74488882
i thought no one showed up to games because they're allowed to watch on television in italy.

>>74487406
He needs a second midfielder to set him up in order to shine. Pogba is a world-class difference-making midfielder as long as he has a launching pad next to him, like he had in Marchisio or Kante (with the NT).

ManU uses him as a playmaker, which he is not, that's the issue. Don't expect him to be what he is not. He's a world class player in his role, and he does not have this role with ManU. ManU has absolutely no playmakers, so don't expect Pogba to be the one you lack. End of the story.

>>74487656
which is why i'm amazed herrera wasn't playing alongside him to make him seem decent. carrick did okay in the first half, but he alone isn't enough to make up for pogba's overall level of incompetence.

>>74489152
well what are carrick and herrera supposed to be?

>>74489072
Games are shown on TV everywhere else it's only 3pm games in the UK that are restricted afaik.

People don't turn up to games in Italy because they are tedious. And the people are dirt poor but the tickets are not.

>>74489152
He needs two other central midfielders to prop him up. A playmaker like Carrick and a workhorse, which I guess is Herrera's role in the current Utd set-up. He doesn't work outside of a flat three in the centre of the park

Definition of a luxury player. You need a perfect everything else before you can even think about wasting a position on Pogba

>>74489175
Shit players, and I have to acknowledge that they are.

>>74489284
Pogba is like a #9 from the midfield. He needs the whole midfield to work for him in order to make differences. When it is the case, he is absolutely world-class.
Even top strikers like Ibra or Ronaldo need to have the whole team playing for them, they don't make differences of their own. Pogba is the same thing, but for the midfield. He's a really unique player and building a team around him is needed. That's a huge choice to make, but if you pay a shitload of money for Pogba, you should know that's something you have to do otherwise he cannot shine like he is supposed to do.

Pogba takes the fucking piss. He's been doing it all season. Hurr durr ABU bunker "goals will come" "He's hit the post 8 times" because his finishing is fucking SHIT. Cost us so many times.

I am fucking sick of his stupid gormless "what happened face" you FUCKED IT UP again you cretin that's what happened. I'll probably regret this rant at some point but fuck me what an absolute bottler. Turn up at Old Trafford with all your Stormzy marketing bullshit and fall over from 6 yards out in the last minute 3 FUCKING times for winning goal chances. Utter joker. I am way too angry about football.

add to this losing his head completely in almost every big game this season. Totally goes missing. Totally loses it. Liverpool was a fucking disgrace especially. He's the first one to drop his head and start misplacing every single pass. Mentally an absolute shitshow of a player, Fergie never would had this shit. Never, ever in a million years would have had it.

Mourinho wants to sort him out, stop the overexposure, stop the marketing, start fucking staying behind after training and get his head in the right place. I've been saying this for months now and only now are other United fans seeing it for themselves.

Over in another thread someone's said "for £89m you don't expect Messi but you do expect someone that can step up and win you a game now and again". Well that about sums it up. Utter disappointment so far. Tragic excuse for a modern day world record footballer.

>>74489432
I agree. High-volume distributing #6s are too hard to find and too expensive to decide to build your team around Pogba. I'm afraid it will take years for Manchester to build a midfielder fully able to support him.

He remains a quality player even without the appropriate environment though, as he's over average at absolutely everything, but he's not worth the amount ManU paid by any means.

>>74489208
>Games are shown on TV everywhere else it's only 3pm games in the UK that are restricted afaik.
Fun UK fact

Games from other countries played at 3pm are also not allowed to be shown.

People don't often realise that

Andrea Ranocchia is one of Premier League's best defender.

A N D R E A R A N O C C H I A

>>74489626
Which countries?

>>74489601
Pierre I understand you're attempting to defend your countryman, but there's no need really. You already have a world class player in Kante. Le "he needs three other players in midfield and elite defence behind him to perform" excuses don't mean anything, his entire reputation is built on being a Juve Youtubebabby carried by superior players the whole time spent there. He's average on his own, and straight up shit in crucial moments.
Teams like Juve or Bayern can afford to have a gimmick player in their teams (in league matches most of all), but when you desperately need contribution like Manure do these days, he offers negative input.

>>74489689

I'm pretty confident they wanted to get rid of him as he only scored against shit lower league Italian dross.

The team is already built around him.

Carrick is still one of the best DMs in the game and a quality regista in his own right (he has CL and PL titles)

Mata is an advanced playmaker with CL, PL, WC and Euros to his name

Ibrahimovic has won French, Italian and Spanish cups and leagues and carried an average Sweden to international tournaments scoring meme goals for fun

Wayne Rooney has CL and PL titles to his name and is a PL top ten all time goal scorer

Martial is black and French

There is NO excuse for him to fuck up the chances and blast the ball 40 yards every fucking game!

If you expect Pogba to rack up goals and assists, the problem is with you, not him.

Right, they should have thrown in 130mil more to get Khedira and Marchisio too

>>74490222
He presses well, transitions quickly from defence to offence, finds a lot of space in the opponent's half and stretches their defence, and has the occasional Hollywood pass in him

>>74490253
Well Carrick needs to be replaced due to his age

I actually like Herrera but I think he's naturally more attack-minded and not a good enough analogue for Vidal or Khedira

>>74490217
i think that was their formation when they drew 0-0 will hull. they need mkhitaryan in the #10 position to unlock defenses that sit back, which is why they changed to a 4-2-3-1 with pogba and herrera as central midfielders.

>>74490279

Iniesta has been the best midfield in the world for years without being a goalscoring or assisting machine. Had an English team paid 120M to buy him from Barca and expected him to become a top goalscorer, that would have made them scoring, same goes with Pogba.
Pogba is a highly technical midfielder that happened to score goals at Juve, but he's not a scoring midfielder. If you think he is, you're stupid and I probably assume you think Martial is a winger too.

best player on the pitch today, again.
>Khedira
good player, but like him there's a dozen or two more. Mourinho is trying to build a england and europe winning team, he needs exceptional quality
>Machiso
literally who? japanese players don't bond well in Europe, you know that

>>74490310
It was their exact formation and squad (apart from Darmian for Shaw) when they beat Spurs, which was their only world class performance so far this year

Pogba was also great against West Brom in the same formation

>>74490333
>that would have made them scoring
stupid*, not scoring, heh

>>74490303
You need a DM (hands off Dier 6th place team) but you literally bought then sold Schneiderlin and didn't play Schweinsteiger.

Drinkwater would be good, but he's busy in the CL atm and probably doesn't want to do Pogbas dirty work.

I don't think anyone would at this moment. You're fucked!

>>74490279
>>74490279
Except he barely does any of that, his usual shtick is getting dispossed out of position, leaving space open behind him and then resorting to foul. When he attempts anything else besides spamming safe short passes, chances are he'll fuck up.

>>74490333
Goals and flashy skills are the vast majority of what he's ever contributed at Juve, you've admitted yourself he's not a playmaker. Well, he isn't a tackler either (more fouls than challenges won), box-to-box (shit movement both in attack and defence) or a holding mid. He's closer to Diame than to Iniesta, you can't be serious in that comparison. Pogba's technique is for nothing when he has the brains of an U-15 youth player.

>>74490350
a 4-3-3 with carrick is less likely to concede goals, but they need another formation to unlock defenses that are only interested in preserving a draw. that's why they were shit against bournemouth in the 2nd half.

>>74490368
He naturally roams, which is why you need two positionally disciplined CMs backing him up. Put him in a central duo and he leaves massive holes for the other team to exploit

If, however, you do have that space plugged by other, more responsible players, then he can seem pretty ubiquitous on the pitch and be a dominating presence

>>74490317
Dembele is a great dribbler (it takes two players to tackle him) usually bringing the ball into the attacking third easily or passing to a more creative player.

He has great tackling and interceptions too, but can also hold up the ball in attack and provide a few goals and assists. He's the perfect boxtobox midfielder. I'd rather be talking about him than this meme

>>74490333
You're autistic. Iniesta scored a goal in a world cup final and has lots of assists and goals. Moreso than Silva. He would shine in the PL.

>best player on the pitch today
Poor form >mouyesbro, you usually leave the punchline for the closing sentence.

>>74490429
>lots of assists and goals
Iniesta never scored more 10+ goals in a season and only twice 5+ in a league season. He also has only one league season with 10+ assists.

Pogba is like Pirlo without Pirlo's game overview and finesse.

>>74490428
>you have to tactically restrict TWO midfielders so your star purchase might, maybe, do something for once
Worked in Serie A, and even that because Pirlo or Marchisio were able to dictate play 10 feet in front of their CBs.
I don't think that's what Manure paid for either.

I think his mentality is the biggest issue. He's talented but dumb as fuck and focuses too much on haircuts and memes.

Someone needs to sit him down, tell him that he's not as good as he think he is and just play it simple for the time being. When the pressure gets to him he just loses the plot and does the stupidest shit. Especially in big games. I can't remember any big game where he shined, maybe Juve v Bayern in the semis?

It absolutely infuriates me when he holds onto the ball just a second longer to try some fancy flick or skill. Just fucking pass it and move.

>>74490457
No one ever paid 100m for iniesta and as good as he is I don't think anyone would have done. For exactly the reasons you outline.

Goals win games, assists get you goals. There is a reason Bale was formerly most expensive because he did all that and more.

>>74490565
My intent would be to have him drift inside and link up with Mata and Ibra in the middle, while Shaw provides the overlap

I simply can't see a place for him in the team without both Carrick and Herrera providing a solid foundation in the centre

>>74488029
The only teams who do better have more wedge

>>74490597
Just look at the Dortmund-Leverkusen scores as another example.

>Bürki's score worse than Leno, despite Leno conceding 4 more goals
>Wendell has a better score than Sokratis and Piszczek, just because he scored and assisted Leverkusen's goals, but gave away a penalty and was part of a defence that conceded 6 goals

>>74490482
Pirlo and Marchisio are world class quality playmakers who won the WC in 06 and reached the 2012 euro finals with fucking balotelli. Literally anyone can play with them and even then they had to have Khedira or Vidal doing the defensive work.

Pogba did nothing and is exposed. Please remember that he is playing with CL winning players. Some of the best passers and goal scorers in the league.

Herrera, Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Fellaini etc aren't your best players, but they do indeed play well considering the quality around them. He's surrounded by CL winners and he wants the glory for himself because he lost a Euro final having been helped by Kante, Greizman, Lloris etc.

There is no excuse.

>>74490654
Don't blame you la, I'm just glad I don't have to hypothetically deal with Pogba myself
>>74490664
Whoscored overall score system is pants on head retarded. You could take average /sp/ shitposter, make him an "attacking midfielder" for Bayern, instruct him to do nothing but sit just in front of opposition's box and play a short pass to nearest player for 90 minutes. He'd get 8.2 score, bonus points for not even attempting to defend or leaving his area.

>>74490858
Yeah, they're willing to overlook defenders being shit at defending, so long as they contribute to the attack.

I'm so glad everyone is finally realising what an absolute meme Pogba is. Literally against signing him from the day the rumour came out, let alone for eighty nine fucking million.

>>74490675
>There is no excuse

Tbf even the English media were starting to realise it during the Euros, but then promptly changed their tune as soon as he signed for United

>>74490724
They are Italians so lack the capacity for humour.

My guess is they don't get paid unless they turn up and do something.

>>74488466
Who are Firmino, Coutinho, Dele Alli, Lukaku, Tadic, Lingaard and Pedro??

>>74491003
>They are Italians so lack the capacity for humour.

That's not a real stereotype mate

English football is more spectacular (even there's no denfence), italian football is more tactical and generally the teams are better but we have non spectators cuz we are poor and most he stadiums are shite :3

>>74490943
stop spreading that meme: shirts do help pay for him, but that's not the reason he's there.

doesn't matter how many costumers you convince he's shit, there won't be a Pogback (TM) to Juve. Mourinho knows his value and he's not leaving United either

>>74487406

>the state of that defense

Shaw was shit today. He's finished.

Rojo is having a decent year but good for a terrible tackle every game.

Jones is a donkey.

It should be new LB-Smalling-Bailey-Valencia

People who said he was one of the best midfielders that season clearly never watch a game in Seria A he was and is still overrated as fuck he's just being exposed for who he is this season an inconsistent decent player

so the real question is:

Will united try to build a team around Pogba or not?

It will take another couple 100 million to make the team function with pogba playing like this each game.

Fuck. I'm crushed today.

>>74493206

just shut up and enjoy the play. the process takes time

they were counting on scoring two or three goals in that period. it didn't happen, bad luck. couldn't scrap the result either. doesn't matter, cause the league is worthless at this point as you can see be the experiences (no starters in the back, no herrera, no miki)

the focus is on the cups to win trophies. winning a league requires building a team and you cant turn shit to winners in one season at this time and age.

If you'd actually watched him last season, you would have never made this thread

Most overrated meme in years.. and like others have said, he went to a shit team (especially midfield) that can't carry him

>>74493677

>>74487406

Worst bit of business ever.

>>74494669
Fergie was criticised for selling him.

He must be livid.

maybe its because Mou has him doing this

track back into the the top of his own 18 and wait for defender ot play him ball, immeadiately he must pass the ball and run forward

softly jog into open space at the top of other team's 18, sit there and wait for a pass and then pass the ball to teammate

rarely will shoot and anyone who watched him try to be a number 10 at Juve in his final jersey saw that the kid becomes unglued mentally...

he is one of those guys who thinks about scoring a goal before it happens and that is why his shots go wide or are bulleted right at the keeper.

>>74487878

EPL is full of Niggers. He is just one more boy in there.
