this building team around nonsense only exists when speaking of United. City went without KDB for most of this season but they have enough quality to do without him. Silva x2, Sterling, Aguero, Fernandinho, Sane, etc. I don't hear this "build team around" waffle anywhere else.
saying "Pogba needs quality around him to get value out of him" might as well say nothing because all players perform better with better team mates. But for some reason Pogba is expected to be Herculean in all facets, dribble the ball into the net, be a fusion of essien + makelele, all the while putting on a plate for players that hardly move (which he does more often than not).
Matic came out today and outright stated he was the problem, but somehow on redcafe, Pogba, the only one that had a decent performance today, is the issue.
