I have been impressed with Pogba, and his stats in recent games have been immense. But, and I’m not looking for an argument here, I don’t get the MOTM awards and the plaudits he receives. He’s been great but he does still drift in and out. Take last night as an example, Herrera was immense, here there and everywhere yet Pogba gets MOTM, Phil Neville says he’s the best midfielder in England, and the Times had him as 9 out of 10.

He’s really stepped up and looks a different player but not to the level he is being lauded. Am I not seeing what everyone else is seeing? I’m really not fishing I’m looking for genuine opinions. I’m happy to have him in the team, he’s starting to look the part, and who knows how good he can become. But others talk about him at a level I’m not seeing. Just me?

{Ed002's Note - Who would you look to replace Pogba with as he still wants out?}

Lets play one game without pogba and see what happens.

Ajh, I saw it the same way, herrera was motm, pogba proably got it for goal and assist, but like you said he drifts in nd out, and if he wants out let him off.

He is playing well and has been the real difference maker now for the best part of 12 games. He is scoring and creating chances weekly
Yes he has defencive lapses and lazy moments but he is trying much harder.
Scoring and making goals dictates that he will get the plaudits. Very few if any difference makers have stays as good as his over last 2 months.
If he still wants out at least he is increasing his value.
It will be an interesting summer that's for sure.

002 as for the pogba replacement, are still looking at SMS?

{Ed002's Note - THose thoughts have gone.}

19 Feb 2019 20:51:50
Can't be persuaded to stay ed? I thought Jose was the problem?

As a replacement? Well you're not going to get a like for like. I'd focus on getting a busy CM, niguez, veratti, Kante? And look to add a pacy forward who is comfortable as a no.10 but also drifting. Easier said than done.

{Ed002's Note - Saul would be the one but the asking price is very high.}

Absolutely no chance Pogba will be sold in the summer! We don't need a replacement we should be looking to build the team around him. He's our best player by a mile.

{Ed002's Note - He wants to leave.}

19 Feb 2019 21:21:18
I'd be absolutely gutted if he left this summer. Hopefully he'll give us at least another year, see we're building towards something and he can be persuaded to stay. I would imagine any deal will be difficult considering his current form the asking price must be outrageous.

19 Feb 2019 21:29:13
He may want to leave but realistically to who? There's probably 4-5 clubs in europe that could be thought of as possible destinations but all of them have issues that rule them out.

{Ed002's Note - No they don’t.}

I am not a huge fan of Pogba's antics. He still has lapse in concentration and strolls around the pitch at times.
BUT. BUT. If Pogba is out of the team, the team loses almost all the creative spark.
Nobody in our squad can provide those inch perfect killer pass to forwards other than Pogba.

At times he is unstoppable while marauding forward. He draws fouls while skipping past players. He is strong in the air.
When Pogba has a good game, the team is almost certain to win. That's his importance.
First time in 3 years, he is being used in his preferred role and he is showing his true ability.

His goals and assists ratio in the last 12 games from midfield are one of the best in the world.
He is starting to be a difference maker in the games. Hopefully he can maintain this form and sort out his negative aspects.
