Im not responsible for the dumb thoughts that run through your head. Pogba played as an 8 at Juve usually on the left flank of a diamond with an attacking player in the hole ahead of him and Pirlo in the defensive hole behind him or as the left box to box midfielder in their 3-5-2. That attacking player in the hole is what I was in general calling a 'creative 10'. I don't give a fig if it was Vidal, a second striker like Tevez/Dybala, a true 10 like Pereyra or runner like Sturaro in the damned role.He spent 4 seasons at Juventus and the only #10 was Roberto Pereyra, he wasn't that creative and only played 2 seasons as supersub...
But if you think that Pirlo is a #10
Or Vidal ? Marchisio ? Tevez ? Anelka ? Bendtner ? Llorente ? Vucinic ? Matri ? Mandzukic ? Cuadrado ? Morata ? Dybala ? Zaza ?
Let's just that Pogba from France and Man United are very similar in performances pre Word Cup like you said. He's clearly elevated and matured his game since the start of the tournament. Kante is still our best and most consistent midfielder though
Oh yeh that’s for certain! Don’t get me wrong he can be an incredibly frustrating player but in comparison to the other players he’s still on another level most weeks.
But but wasn’t he so impressed with Spur’s training ground he wants to play footy for free?
Agreed, it's nonsense just for a few retweets.
But you are responsible for your lies, Pogba rarely played with a creative #10 ahead of him and played 4 seasons not 3 in Italy.
And Pogba's best season ( 2015-2016 ) wasn't as #8 but mainly in a free role behind 2 strikers in a false 352 and sometimes in the CL as LM in a 442.
I ask you again..in what world Pogba played at his best as an 8 playing behind a creative 10 ?
Maybe in your foolish dream ? Or do you really think that the best Pogba was with Mata ?
Absolutely agree with you. It's weird seeing this Pogba. The flash, self indulgent boy was gone and he is playing like a man who wants the team to prevail, irrespective if he looks pretty in the process. Maybe its United fault. We put so much into marketing, advertising and raising his commercial star that perhaps he feels he needs to live up to it and do all these extra bits "for the gram". At France, it was "is he going to even be selected?" and he seems to have just knuckled down, focused on getting the win and doing whats best for his Nation. When I 1st saw him as a youngster at Juve, I saw him like this. Just doing a job that's requested of him, even a defensive shift. Before someone says "Jose doesn't give him a defined role" I am certain Jose does not tell him to dilly dally on the ball, get into pointless physical tussles and skills in his own half.
Definitely. I've noticed this as well. Pogba has played on the right and I think this is better because it makes him more unpredictable. He can stretch the pitch but also cut inside when needed. On the left he is much easier to close down. This would also get him out of Sanchez's way and give us threats on both sides instead of just one.
fecking hell it would be hell. That's our combo. We were supposed to have them AND get Dybala. Imagine i f Juve ever pulled that off! snowballs chance in hell though
As I said earlier. I'm not responsible for the idiocy running amok in your head. For example I never indicated Pogba was in Italy only three years. A working brain would instantly understand I was referring to the 3 seasons there that rose him to prominence. For that reason I wont even bother with your number 10 malarky again....
hes coming home
People I knew were creaming over him and saying he's gonna sign for Barca or City and they would dominate for years and he'd rack up the Balon D'Ors and then he was a terrible player from the first Manchester derby and hasn't had a good game since.
