To be fair Matth I had been somewhat underwhelmed by Pogba based on his performances at the Euros and, admittedly few, games I saw for Juve plus highlights so far this season ... but he was very good indeed on Saturday against us ... possibly the best individual performanxce against us this season, just edging out Adam Lallana, who was also excellent ...
What impressed most was his abilty to pick a pass over our defence and into the area for the runs of Mata and more so Ibrahimovic ... the Pogba / Ibra combination looks capable of unlocking any defence.
Pogba and Mata as a pairing certainly worked on Saturday ... your problem reamains the defence - we should probably have scored another if not two in the second half ... and probably should have been a goal to the good at the 20 min mark ... but that 20 minute spell before half-time, albeit against some woeful defending, was very good indeed ... and Pogba was orchestrating everything ... still a lot of money to have paid... but if he continues to control games like that (big if) then it will have been money well spent, particularly given his age ...
