Defending and defensive awareness is not his game. Just amazing how ignorant some people are even discussing well known players. I think it comes down to how you define box to box but you are absolutely correct. Defensively he is not that good. If you want to get the best out of pogba he need to play in 3 man midfield and let him bomb forward without thinking too much about defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was arguing the same thing with a utd fan on another forum that said that he is the definition of of a box to box player. Told him that he's not defensively solid enough to be one. As communicate said, it really depends how you define b2b, for me it means someone that contributes to both sides of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thought Leroy Sane is a direct and fast winger but he looks more like this slow winger that I hate Fernando, xPetrCechx and The Rising Sun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him in a 433 like De Bruyne today & he'd thrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogba is a central midfielder. If you want to consider him a box to box midfielder, then the term loses its meaning and every CM should be considered "box to box".

Pizy 18,897 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 We've gotta win these "easy" ones against the likes of Swansea to keep pace with City. There are so many great sides this season that title challengers can't afford to drop points against teams that they're far superior to.

Fernandinho looks brilliant, KDB was fantastic last season, under Guardiola he is even better. Even Otamendi looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Guardiola is such a better coach it's not even close. The impact he has had in such a short space of time is clear to see and City will only get better. Other than buying players what has Mourinho actually done?

They'll utterly dominate those sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did great job, but United as big club as it is, has alot of deadwood in first 11 still. I will wait until city plays big boys in CL, then we will see.

Mourinho wanted to keep several of those players like Fellaini etc. It's clear as hell that one guy actually has ideas and coaches the shit out of his teams and the other guy doesn't.

communicate 2,703 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 One thing that I don't understand from Manu is how in the heck Wayne Rooney is still in starting eleven. Is it stated in his contract that he has to start x number of games ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
