Fernandes needs to retain possession in certain scenarios, I don't want to detract from his creativity but maybe reign it in a bit. I feel he, and Pogba if we go forward with these 2 need an absolute workhorse next to them with 3 lungs. Fernandes will lose possession, you just have to accept that, it's part of his game. Pogba won't charge around making tackles, he just doesn't. Problem now is, we have Matic as their cover, his positioning is good but once it's beaten he hasn't got the recovery pace to track and make a challenge. Give them 2 the proper cover they need and both their weaknesses won't be so evident, esp when they are feeling the pace, as both are undertstandably showing in recent games.
I accept the fact that Bruno will lose possession a lot, that is understandable when he is trying to get the strikers in, but he simply has to do a better job of retaining the ball when the pass is not on. I have been watching him lose the ball half the time he receives it, thus creating more of a problem for his teammates to win the ball back. He needs to pick his killer passes, and other times play simple passes to teammates when the team needs to retain possession.
As for Pogba, nothing against the guy, but I feel he is producing nowhere enough for a player of his standing and reputation.
