He played great 4 games at start of last season before getting injured for 2 months, returned and played 2 good games against Arsenal and Newcastle before getting suspended, then his problems started to happen with Mourinho at Spurs match, then the season went to shite.
At Juve he had Pirlo and Vidal with him. Will be impossible for us to acquire a midfield of such quality to cover for everyone. I don't think most English teams bar City can. He will simply have to play as a proper midfielder if he wants to succeed in England. No team pays 89m for a player then needs to pay 150m more millions on his teammates for that player to be consistent let's be honest.
I really don't find any problem with him trying to tackle or press the player who cuts the ball from him. What's hard in this ?
Cant agree with that. It doesn't need to be big names... we don't need to go out and buy the next Matthaus and Xavi. Liverpool are performing with a midfield of Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Georgino Wijnaldum. You don't need stars if you have a consistent lineup and drill a specific way of playing. Forgetting the form of any of our players we have:
Matic - likes to hold the ball and take it through midfield
Fellaini - likes to get forward and win headers
Pogba - likes to dribble, create chances with incisive long passes to runners
Herrera - likes quick one two passing around the middle
Mata - likes quick passing and short through balls to create chances
Fred - seems like he's all about quick short and medium passing
When you look at the usual mix of styles we put on the field its no wonder we look disjointed. 150m on another random assortment wont help but 50m on players to fit specific roles would do. We already have the star, a player far better than anyone Liverpool have in that midfield.
We all focus on Pogba not performing as though he's the only one. Nobody is performing, it's just because he came with the price tag.
