Manchester United (MU) helpless when facing Manchester City in the Manchester Derby, entitled match at Old Trafford, Saturday (10/9/1999). The Red Devils lost 1-2. Thus, where the role of The Red Devils, stars Paul Pogba?
The above reasonable if made into a big question for the stronghold. Joined from Juventus with the status of the most expensive player of the world, has not been considered so far Pogba shows the significant role in Jose Mourinho's squad for the game.
A variety of satire and criticisms then sticking out after the defeat of the City. Somesupporters, including a number of United Kingdom Football observers, questioned the effectiveness of action in three early Pogba in the Premier League.
"When you break the record transfer to recruit Pogba and players that you are selling are able to become Man of the Match #DeBruyne," wrote a Twitter account owner @BMRisingTV, when Mourinho insinuated, after the match.
Facing an army Pep Guardiola, Mourinho fielded Pogba as a holding midfielder Marouane Howard shared with the formation of the 4-2-3-1. Both players were shoring up the midfield, occupied by Wayne Rooney, Jesse Lingard, Henrikh Mkhitaryanand.
However, throughout the first half, Pogba looks less keep the ball with a good defence. In fact, according to Squawka, the average successful bait Pogba only 69 percent, while tekel success and won the duel of the air is also far below the standard, i.e.67 and 60 percent.
Meanwhile, the role of Pogba in helping attack The Red squads Devlils alsosluggish. Throughout the 90 minutes, the France midfielder is only releasing one shot which is not right on target. The effort he did in the early minutes of the match.
Indeed many of the factors that make performance Pogba was not maximal. Mourinho's decision to play the Lingard and Mkhitaryan, for example. Both players that had often sat on the bench, turned out to be less effective.
They some times look often lost the ball in the side wings. With the position as a holding midfielder, Pogba pun several times seen feel free to give feedback to both players. One way out is to drain the ball through to Rooney in the middle of the field.
Unfortunately, the presence of Fernandinho in the central position of the City quitesuccessfully stem the movement of Rooney. As a result, in the first half, the playersCity had seen far dominant. According to the Premier League Mancheser able BlueTeam, possession of up to 67 percent throughout the first half.
Therefore, it is not surprising if you thought pulling out after the Mkhitaryan and Lingard coming down to drink. Ander Herrera requested to help Pogba and Howard, while Marcus Rashford worked piercing the heart of the City defence from the left side.
The presence of Herrera and Rashford ever make the game MU develops. Mourinhothen enter Anthony Martial and pulling out Luke Shaw. However, reasonable if that tactic changes arguably late classmates for Manchester Derby
So, Pick any very observant to notice a change of tactics Against. See his team startdepressed, Pick any Kelechi Iheanacho pulls out to replaced Fernando. Arguably he was applying "False Nine" to moor row middle of fierce player.
"I'm not happy with the performance of the players in the first half. The first half is far more important than the second half. We like to give them (Manchester City) profit for 45 minutes, "said Mourinho, after the match.
Where the best position Pogba?
Unfortunately, although gotten assignments as an attacking midfielder in the second half, Pogba hasn't been able to play the role with a maximum. It also adds a big question about where the position right for the performer.
After officially joining MU, Pogba claimed to prefer playing as an attacking midfielder, the position when he lived the role at Juventus with the formation 4-3-3 a la Antonio Conte. What about the holding midfielder? France's national team appearancecan be used as an example of a problem if the playing Pogba.
On the 2016 European Championship final match against Portugal, coach Didier Deschamps also play 4-2-3-1. However, for most of the game, play the ball more oftenPogba in defense area with its own stream feeds into two side wings of the squad of Les Bleus.

In addition, Pogba also often looks too playing into France's attack so impressed blunt against Portugal. Recently after they conceded a goal Eder, Deschamps raise position Pogba as an attacking midfielder.
Unfortunately, the decision is considered late Deschamps. Although considered one of the versatile quarterback in midfield, fatigue became one of the reasons it makes sense if talking about less maximum Pogba appearance.
In the middle of the second Act, for example, Pogba tekel several times that bad against some players Portugal. In terms of attacks, sometimes just keep silent, looking at the flow of the ball in midfield.
