I don't think it is a waste of talent that Pirlo and Scholes were transformed from attacking do everything box to box midfielders to Registas in their later years. They contributed heavily to their team's domination of their domestic leagues.
.There will be riots in Manchester for that.Exactly. I don't know why "fans" shit on other players just to praise the player they like, fecking hell every player represent ManUtd and these are our best players. It's a joy to watch them play together, instead of enjoying that few wants to find a way to moan about other players.
Is there a player in PL or other leagues where players can ping passes like that with both feet? I mean not just to wings, he creates chances with ease from deep, dribble past players with little effort. Just a brilliant player, now that we have lot of movement and awesome attacking mid, it makes Pogba job easier.
This. Different players, obviously they can play in each other's roles (Pogba as a 10 and Bruno as an 8) but the current system gets the best out of them. No one is miles ahead of the other, Bruno is rightly getting all the plaudits because he is scoring and assisting and those elements will always be seen as more important than the rest (not saying it's fair but it's how football is viewed in general).
It is a little bit understandable when Lingard and Pereira are getting the stick for Bruno's terrific performance. But it is certainly weird when people are comparing and making imaginary tribal camps of their favourite player from the same team - players who are performing and complementing each other.
Because he's in his prime and he's got a lot more in his locker. I mean if you're supremely talented, how long are you satisfied playing a restricted role when you have the ability to contribute a lot more?
Meh, our fanbase wouldn't have a leg to stand on considering the amount of abuse they've lobbed his way for the past 2 years. You only have to look at the last home game of last season as a prime example.I don't think it is a waste of talent that Pirlo and Scholes were transformed from attacking do everything box to box midfielders to Registas in their later years. They contributed heavily to their team's domination of their domestic leagues.
Don't even mention Pogba moving to City in his prime
His contract should be United's priority now.
Just read his recent words on his current situation, it will give you a good hint.
It depends on your view of that role. You say it’s restricted, I don’t see it that way. His role is to support and provide for a great attack and currently he is doing that in some style. It’s an important role and he’s currently doing it very well. He will be happy I’d have thought.
He isn't playing restricted role. Maybe on paper it's restricted but on the pitch it's anything but restricted.
Exactly. It isn't restricted. He is playing awesome passes from deep, dribbling past players, he is getting chances from edge of the box and he even makes runs into box sometimes. People forget football is a team game.
Maybe some fans can't enjoy when things are going well, they need something to complain about.
It would be restrictive in the sense that Pogba's best game includes late runs from midfield. Registas can't do that, their role requires them to almost always stay around the middle of the pitch and not go too high, that's why Pirlo was moved to that role latter in his career, it was a way to protect him and the team. Now I wouldn't mind it because he has done it on a few occasion for Juventus during his first or second season and he was excellent, he has done it for France once too and he was really good.
Like I said, it depends on your view of that role really and besides, he’s not playing that role strictly, Pogba will always get chances to burst forward in this set up.
But that setup doesn't use a regista. Pogba current role is I believe closer to a mezzala.
It wasn’t me that said he was playing Regista, I just questioned why someone thought he was, or would be, playing restricted football and wasting his talent.
I’m not so keen on this comparison thing myself. I mean, as has been mentioned earlier, player comparison is natural, but the belittling of one of your own players to campaign for another one is counter-productive.
It's because he as well had world class stats for us when playing further forward. So while I've come around to the fact that the team benefits more from this setup, it's easy to wonder if there was a way to push him further up and get the benefit of both Pogba and Bruno's stats.
He plays slightly further than Matic imo. And Pog does not have enough work rate to play up there with Bruno.
To be fair, I'm not seeing anyone shitting on Pogba to put Bruno on the spotlight, only the other way around.Here we go, full madness is on now. We had to pit them against each other nowLet's enjoy both and what they each bring to the team.
They love playing together but it takes certain crazy fans to wanna justify why one is better or more important than the other.

When in his game Pogba can literally steam roll teams when playing 10 as he previously did against arsenal and city.

If you tag a user you should in the very least, be right about what they posted, in none of my posts have I disparaged Fernandes's ability. What was stated was that he needs to do more than score penalties and hog freekicks to be considered the best player in this team. I also stated he is a good player who has had a great impact and one that tracks the ball well however he is not a patch on Paul. Therefore when you have posters stating that Paul is the 5th best player in the team and nonsense like that then some people will defend him. If criticism of Fernandes is not wanted; a lesser player, then put some respect on Paul's name. The best player I have seen at this club and in this league since the Ferguson days, not sure how long he will remain though if he is forced to continue in such a restrictive role. It is one thing to play like that for your country but an altogether different scenario to do it at club level.
Case in point. Media packaged and delivered by so called fans.
1. There are so many more players out there who can do things in the #10 position than players who can do what Pogba can do in central midfield. Utterly un-pressable, passing range to make the gods weep, will dribble right past you from a standing start, and a physical and aerial beast into the mix. You think that's a 'waste'?
Some of the comments around here disparaging our best footballers, you'd think Neville and Carragher constantly post on the Caf.
The Athletic said De Gea is on significantly more than £350k a couple of weeks ago. I expect Raiola will be looking for £500k+ for Pogba.
I tagged you because I think it's the right thing to do when you mention someone. It makes them know they've been cited and given an opportunity to respond, which you did.
Because he had one bad game?
Bruno was even worse but...
Not all the time but definitely today.
No, I think he’s referring to the brain farts he has had over the past 3 seasons also.
