West Ham will be kicking themselves as they should've been out of sight in the first half.

Bruno is just incredible. Still can’t believe he was £47MM base fee. He is so important that the team seems to be over-reliant on him. Reminds me when it was only Rooney running the show in 2009/2010 and 2011/2012.

Rashford seems to be clawing back his midseason form from last year when he broke his back literally carrying the team. That will help a lot with balance

looks like the pasta addicted agent of Pogba’s wants another payday so Pogba is probably leaving sooner rather than latter

Fernandes is who Pogba wishes he was - goalscoring and creative all action midfield general.

After all this time it looks like Jose was right about him.

Pogba saga is getting dull now, just get rid. This guy has been a complete dissapointment.

I agree.

I've been saying it forever now. The guy is and has been over rated for so long. Flashy player with a lack of the core concepts of how to win games. He wants to be the central player and have a team built around him but he lacks the level of skill needed to carry games.

indeed
he was at his peak at Juve when he had prime vidal and a flourishing pirlo to get possession and maintain the ball, allowing him to function in a free advanced roll with limited actual midfield responsibilities

in france NT he is/was protected by kante and matuidi and not expected to do as much given their offensive firepower

if he goes to madrid or back to juve for a good price or player swap then okay fine best of luck. a talented player who always had loads of potential and can raise his game when he feels up to it, but unfortunately very much a luxury player as well

I think that's what he needs and we cant provide it for him. Very strong finishers who can make use of the few opportunities he provides. But then again, what team doesn't...

Hes not a terrible player, just not as valuable as some think. Starting to remind me of Neymar a little, not in terms of play, but more his hype and how a flashy style can add to that.

the main problem is that for years there has been this sort of notion that pogba needs better than ‘average’ players to raise his own game. this excuse carried on for 2+ years until bruno fernandes came in mid-season and seamlessly fit in. they literally are best deployed at the same position so it’s made it glaringly clear what was up.

a midfield of bruno - dvb - proper dm is probably the way forward
