France's tactics are ultra-defensive. They approach all games in a very cautious manner and when the opposition plays with 10 men behind the ball, they just rely on the quality of their players to win a narrow contest. They play types of games where Pogba's weaknesses can be swept under the rug if his two or three moments of magic do the job for France. If we wanted that, we might as well have kept LvG or Mourinho since they understand tactics such as these more than Solskjaer ever will.
And no, we don't have the personnel to create the best environment for Pogba and we don't have the personnel to attack with three and a half players and win matches, like France, either. That's why Pogba fell out with Mourinho and he still considers leaving us. And because he is a player of undeniable quality and we are/were a club in disarray in which good footballers look like pub players because we can't create roles for them on the pitch, there's a debate to be had. Do we build a team around him or do we let him go and invest the money elsewhere? Which is the best way to move forward? We still rely on him to do a lot of things for us in all thirds of the pitch. All the stick he gets on here by our fans is because, whenever he starts and we drop points, he's not the one who gets on the ball in deep areas, carries it forward on his own and then serves an assist on the plate for someone to score a goal. This is because we have fundamental issues as a team in all those areas. The French have similar issues but nobody talks about them because they play in competitions where a 0-0 scoreline with very few chances created isn't exactly the end of the world.
I won't get into a player by player comparison, I'll just say that i don't agree either with the Rashford-M'bappe comparison or with the Kante-Fred one some others mentioned. One of the things that make the Frenchman special is that he can be a menace even if he receives the ball out-wide while Rashford's influence deteriorates as you move him away from the box. That's why his best position is on the left where he can cut inside and occupy the left half-space. Get Sancho, yes. Start messing with Rashford's position, please no. I've had enough of managers tinkering all the time with players' roles like alchemists in search of the philosopher's stone.
I'm not arguing that Pogba can't play deeper. In fact, i believe that's his best position. The question of the OP was whether our current midfield options allow us to play both Bruno and Pogba. My opinion is that we can't and i explained it in another post. The notion that it can work ignores the fact that Fred has started to look like a proper footballer with either Matic or McT and it shoehorns him in a role that is not his best. It also ignores the stability and the options a holding midfielder who can drop deep an operate as a defender, like Matic, offers in terms of maintaining a solid back-four line and allowing the FBs to move forward.
Solskjaer wants Pogba deep because a) his vision is sublime and b) in his system the RW hugs the touchline (James), the forward and the #10 interchange positions and with Rashford lurking in the left half-space, ready to attack the far post, they all can push the opposition defence back. This can open up space for Pogba and give him time on the ball to either cross, look for a neat one-two or attack the box himself. The problems start to occur because our attackers can't protect the ball under pressure and our defenders/midfielders can drown in a spoonful of water when Pogba's marked and the have to move the ball forward on their own. The other problem is that Solskjaer's a very courageous plan. Not like Descamps'. At all. At full stretch, it looks like a 2-3-5 with the deepest of the three in the midfield and the one who will have to drop deep and defend in the box so that we can maintain a back-four being Fred.
As i mentioned in my first post on this thread, it will be madness to go into next season with the same midfield options. We had found some good form but the big wins against piss poor sides like LASK, Tranmere and Brugge have created a sense that everything's been worked out which is not the case. Being in an upward trajectory and actually achieving your endgame are two entirely different things.
