I get what Lampard is trying to say, and it's undeniable that he's been right on some points where at times Pogba does make stupid decisions in his own half. His nature, when he has the ball, is to make something happen because he has the ability to create danger through a long ball from pretty much anywhere on the field, and I think there's partly his fault for leaning too much in that nature when he needs to be more conservative. The flip side to that coin is that you want to have a player like Pogba on your team because you need someone who's willing to make those unexpected pass, or that dribble out of trouble that suddenly opens up a counter-attack, but it has to be properly covered by the rest of the team whether it's the defense and midfield backing him up, or the forwards making those runs that will create a dangerous pass.
Ideally, you want Pogba to be able to manage himself the dangers of some of his decisions without having to put it on his teammates to cover him up if he screws up, and I think the best recent example of that has been Pogba for France in the WC during the knock out stages, but he had a solid midfield and defense to back him up in case of failures, and it's ended up creating a ton of dangerous occasions for France sparked by him making those daring passes.
Pogba's far from a perfect player, but with the right teammates around him, he can easily be this team's best player without as much of the drawbacks. The issues he has can be ironed out, especially when this new midfield gets familiar with one another, and I wouldn't replace Pogba with any other midfielders because he can do things most of them can't while being a player that's physically suited for the premier league. I can't wait to see him back out there now.
