When I wrote it they were about 25-30 minutes in, right before he had that one really good run up the middle, before that he looked straight garbage in possesion and defense. He was better at the end of the first and into the second half, but he was still not one of the 8-10 best players on the pitch. He got lost in defense often and when he went to the wing he sagged off way too much and gave up easy balls into the box. On offense he had some really nice moves, and some bad giveaways, his shot was... as always... not very good.Aside from literally the first minute of the game you guys didn't think Pogba looked good?
His shooting will still suck though, because it always has, but at his best he can get away with not being a scorer.

He was acceptable, but certainly not elite. It's early though, he'll probably improve his defending as he gets more comfortable with teammates, and less sloppy in possession. His shooting will still suck though, because it always has, but at his best he can get away with not being a scorer.
Nice to see he has a David Tyree-esque view on the worldGray is really good. So quick, and seems to be ok with either foot. Has trouble staying onside but that's partly because of his pace.
I didn't think that one was a penalty, looked like he touched the ball first.Yuck! He's actually worse than Vardy. Hopefully he has evolved in the last four years.
Meanwhile, too much deference by the announcing crew for Clattenberg. I thought that was a clear foul in the box.
