Pogba didn’t play for the crew in that half. He performed for himself. Granted, everyone seems to be enjoying poorly, however he’s extra all for successful private duels than launching assaults. Ego is inflicting him to carry onto the ball to point out he can overcome challenges himself. And he cannot.
