Big game flop? Pogba's record against elite is dismal but we can't expect 30 goals a season

The world's most expensive player needs to do more in big games but people need to accept that he is not a complete player - at least, not yet

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera issued a warning ahead of last Sunday's crunch Premier League clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford: "Paul Pogba can change a game in one second." How prescient the Spaniard proved to be, with his midfield accomplice turning the match in the visitors' favour with one dreadfully uncoordinated swing of his arm in his own penalty area. Zlatan Ibrahimovic ultimately rescued a point for United with his late equaliser but the post-match discourse was dominated by Pogba and the backlash was as predictable as it was brutal.
