I don't intend to persuade you that you're wrong about Pogba, because as I see it you've created that unfalsifiable position. However I can prove that you're wrong about my attitude to Pogba, because it's perfectly easy to find the evidence.
Here you'll find me on the other end of a discussion with what you'd call a "Pogba fanboy sycophant", saying a number of things you'd agree with. He's no Roy Keane, his head wasn't in it, and he attracts more criticism than someone like Matic because of his talent and status. Immediately before that I called him
embarrassing. So a) I conclusively don't always "speak up" for people you stick in that category, and b) I don't only ever pop and spout "Pogba's da best".
You've got this idea that I have a one dimensional view on Pogba, because you have a one dimensional view on Pogba. And because the handful of times we've discussed him I've held an opposing view, you've just categorised me as being in the opposite end to you, equally far from the centre. That's just not the reality, man. I really don't care about Pogba. I never have. He's the most fun footballer we have in the team, and also the most frustrating. I care much more about the former than the latter. I'm not one of those people that spends hours, days or weeks after a bad game stewing over it - I barely think about the game soon after it's finished. So the joy Pogba brings in the games when he's on form, which on the whole is more often than not, is much more important to me than the games where he's totally lost. Except in the big games, where I think he still has a significant issue. So I'll be very disappointed when he leaves, but can see the positives that could come from it to (losing the media circus, having more flexibility and possibly reliability in the midfield).
My view on Pogba contains plenty of positives and negatives. It might be full of contradictions - feel free to judge, as you seem so keen to do on this subject - but it conclusively isn't the one note view you've imagined. I think Pogba has the chance of
being as good as Bobby Charlton, who's up there with the most graceful, influential midfielders to play the game, and I also think
we should expect him to be more consistent.
He's been pretty shit in finals, but in his most recent one - and quite a big one, it's fair to say - I thought he was the MOTM. I think he could be better than Keane, Scholes, Vieira, Gerrard and Lampard, but he
clearly has a long way to go and he's
far more immature than they were. I think Pogba's got one of the most impressive passing ranges ever seen in a United player, but
he can't dictate play like the "simple destroyer" Keane could.
As far as I know, I've only ever tagged you once - and I'm surprised if you think his performances and productivity last year didn't warrant an update to your evaluation of him. For me, he clearly established himself as one of the best players in the league, even with his embarrassing response to the Mourinho drama. When Pogba got two assists against Chelsea, one of which highlighted how easily he can cut through a team, I didn't come in here tagging you. I didn't come in here talking about him at all, based on a quick search. So that would be why I didn't tag you then - regardless of whether Pogba was doing great things or terrible things over his 140-game career with United, I generally didn't tag you. But in your own mind, I was on some relentless journey to prove to you how good Pogba is, or how right the sycophants are, or any number of other weird things.
Don't you see why that's weird?
I legitimately don't even know what Pogba has done in the last month, on any level, and you've come to the conclusion that I've now forgiven him for what he's done, and fallen in line with the other Pogba fanboys. I honestly have no idea what that line is, what he's supposed to have done to require an explanation / excuse, or what the subject of that explanation / excuse was. I find what footballers say off the pitch, and the narrative built around it, mind-numbingly boring. But for whatever reason it seems easier for you to think something entirely different. Each to their own, really. I thought you deserved a response but I think it's a pretty boring discussion, truth be told. I'd rather just watch the footy.
