And the difference was the positioning after jose got sacked.He was great yesterday. But the issue has never been his top level. It's been his average level and his bottom level.
At United, we don't see his top level anywhere near often enough. Meanwhile, his average level is what you'd expect from a midtable midfielder and his bottom level is barely PL standard.
The issue has always been Pogba's level of commitment for the Manchester United cause. He did it for a string of matches after Jose after he got sacked as a 'feck you' to the man who called him a virus; and he also did it yesterday during a big game on French soil against PSG. But what about when it isn't a glamour match?
Pogba's potential departure should be judged against how well he does in the bread-and-butter matches of the PL. If he can keep up this level of performance during a wet and windy Wednesday at Stoke® then I'd love to keep him at the club.
He wasn’t played as an deep lying playmaker/holding midfielder.
He was either played as a left cm in a diamond or in 4-4-3 and as cam in 4-2-3-1.
Yesterday he came in and played with a freedom and made runs into the box and was outside the box.
