Gerrard pisses all over Pogba. Pogba is more like Deco at Chelsea. Overpaid mercenary.

Agree. Take away the moments of brilliance and leadership, and they are pretty much the same

A better comparison would be Pogba v Aquilani.

Can’t believe I am saying this, but I would take Slippy over Emoji any day.

The only comparison is they never won the PL and that’s about it. Gerrard was everything Pogba is not. I hate Gerrard more than any other player ever but this is laughable.

Gerrard scored 120 goals and got 92 assists. Nuts to compare them.

I've never seen this much appreciation for Gerrard on the caf. :lol: Can't disagree with any of it though.

One of the strangest comparisons I've ever read.

I love Pogba because he feels like one our own to me but Gerrard was legendary and imo was the best English midfielder ever at his very best

Pogba is just an overhyped crap player. Top players can play in any system, he can’t. He’s a central midfielder but you can’t give him defensive duties because he’s lazy and when he does track back he can’t tackle. So that suggests he an attacking midfielder. How many goals and assists does he get?

He has never looked a £90m player for us and it’s no coincidence he looked good for a dominant Juventus team playing alongside the true world class player in Pirlo. We should have cut our losses with him a long time ago. Bruno contributes far more in CAM and our other players can play the defensive midfield role. Van De Beek is a proper CM as well.

Ha fecking hell. I hate Gerrard, and I actually had a good opinion of Pogba (it’s dropping rapidly) pre this season, but the the thread might as well be locked, it’s a joke.

One will take his team out of the frying pan, and the other will put them in the fire.

Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.

I agree with the perspective of Solskjaer struggling to accommodate him more than anything else. The reason Pogba is however unlike Gerrard is that he's excelled everywhere aside us. I think it speaks more about the managers we have had here.

Solskjaer has quite easily got the best form out of Pogba and he was world class but you compare him positionally to where Solskjaer has developed him over time and its like comparing Ozil (Madrid) to Essien (Chelsea). The only element I'd question with Pogba would be his on field attitude but performance wise its near impossible to criticise him and NOT include the manager in the same sentence. A story of drastic misuse.

Massive disservice to Gerrard here. You might as well be comparing Scholes to Danny Murphy.

You know your putting salt in the wound by even having this thread. It’s like comparing Keano & Pogba.

fecking hell. Not even close. Gerrard has more class in his left bollock than this utter fraud. In fact the hair on Gerrard’s gooch has more about it.

I used to think that Gerrard was the most overrated player in the history of the Premier League.

Not I think Paul Pogba is the most overrated player in the history of the Premier League.

I have an irrational dislike of both Gerrard and Pogba. That is all they have in common.

You heard Martin Tyler comparing them didn't you?
Thought he was out of his mind.

Not in the slightest. Gerrard did stuff. He scored goals. He got assists. He made tackles. He ran

Pogba isn’t a footballer. He can’t do anything. He’s like that kid at school who could do 1000 kick ups, a “round the world” and then catch it on his neck but couldn’t get a game in Sunday League.
