While I don't really find myself disagreeing with anything here, you could probably do with your own advice in regards to McTominay as well. He is very dynamic, and imposes himself in games, which makes up for a lot. The same way you can forgive Pogba for giving the ball away due to him trying something out of nothing, you can forgive McTominay giving the ball away because he never gave up on it and won it back for us. Both are useful skillsets.
There is a lot of things to do in midfield without the ball at your feet, and I feel like that's where Pogba never really developed right. I firmly believe if he had developed those parts of his game, say to the level McTominay is seemingly doing right now, he wouldn't have consistency issues and he'd be the best midfielder ever. I use that word because it is the best word for it. As fitting as to say Rashford is inconsistent, world class in moments yes, general level is fluctuating from great to awful, depending. You can line up excuses about these types of players like are they mismanaged, whats their best position, etc. but either way those questions comes from inconsistency no matter whats the cause for it.
Thread is rightly dead, not much to discuss about his injury until its done, so probably okey that we went a little off topic here. Also, as a disclaimer I do think De Bruyne is getting hyped for his moments in the same way as Pogba and definitely not criticised to the same extent. I also found Hazard a bit overrated, in a similar way, in that he had established this image so every time he did something amazing he was the best player in the league, and in periods he didn't contribute much, nobody talked about him. Next time he did something, he was the best. That is not the way it is with Pogba, always in the limelight for both the good and the bad.
