I will always take a consistent 8/10 player who gives his all every game and works his ass off for the team before an overhyped, overpriced and overpampered player who can pull off an occasional world-class 10/10 and put in shit 4s and 5s in some other games. You will need both, and the one with flair will always be harder to get, but consistency is the pre-requisite padding around flamboyance.
The Milners have to come before the Neymars. The latter might push your best to a different level when things are going well, but the former defines the minimum you can expect from your side, even when things aren't rosy.
No doubt Neymar will have a ridiculously good game soon, but today he massively let his team down with his lazy, disinterested attitude. It was always going to be difficult without Verratti and Buffon, but they were playing without 3 of their superstars today, and with 10 men on the pitch most of the game.
Edit: Just realized that you could replace Neymar with Pogba in that post, and it'll still hold true. FML.
