I know we've looked secure in this result the whole time but I've seen a few moments of complacency that we can't afford to have. Going forward, we need to be more deadly.

kinda reminded me of Utd earlier today

game was sealed by the first half, so you'll naturally take your foot off the gas

:mjlol: like i said. None of those players can do the combination of things pogba can at a high level. And you blatantly reached with AM and purely DM :laff:
We were talking about MIDFIELDERS
an AM and a DM are midfielders as well


but oh well... keep ducking my question about what the fukk are those things exactly what's combination Pogba can do but nobody else can do. :mjlol:
I guess it would be hard to just admit that you shouldn't have spent that much money for him. He is the most expensive player rn but not top 5 in the world --> he is overrated. I kept telling you that this doesn't mean that he is outright bad just that he isn't worth the money you paid for him but noooo... you want to make it out like he would be the fukking best player in the world and would worth that fukking 100 MM or what... :aicmon:

I get that you're a MU fan but c'mon now...

He's got one really good match under his belt and one solid introduction game this season and y'all start to talking about him not being overrated... :sas2: If that's not reaching then what is it?
Guess he brought back his price just cause he played well on one fukking game doesn't matter that he was bad or mediocre at best on his last 3 games

you have to compare him to box to box midfielders, which in a way is a combo of a holding/defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder/no. 10

you may be able to find better passers and creative players e.g. Ozil, Mata, Silva etc. and you can find better pure holding midfielders e.g. Kante or Busquets etc.

but no midfielder in world football is as well rounded offensively and defensively and can cover the pitch as well as Pogba can at that skill level, and what ultimately gives Pogba an advantage over the rest is his speed and strength and height. He has the ability to dominate games like nobody else can and once his skill develops over the next few years he truly will be unstoppable.

nobody saying he's worth 89m but in this inflated market we paid what we had to pay for a 23 year old world class player who STILL has room to grow and could be the face of this team for a good 8-10 years

I don't think he's the best midfielder in the world but his skill set is the most well rounded, taking into consideration his physical attributes too

I still have questionmarks but at least this was a reasonable, well argued answer

Yaya Toure still has to play football before I can comment lol

Besides not that this is the beacon of truth, but the Fifa World XI thing that they announce during the Ballon D'Or had Pogba as one of the three best midfielders in the world alongside Modric and Iniesta.
