You bunch of lovely dolts, can only seemb to name forwards, who can be substantionally good early in their career
Attackers, generally get more chances earlyer, cause if they fuck up, you perhaps dont score. it its a defender, you might lose cause of his blunder.
Central or defensive midfielders, defenders, now thats a diffrent story.
There is so much to learn, that isnt based on talent and tricks. Positionning, anticipation, reading the game. criticial things that get notably better with age.
its why defenders or controlling midfielders usually peak MUCH later then attacking players.
Pogba has shown at early age, he is like 4 years ahead of big quality players. that is massive, but now he's still just 20. You could instandly see the diffrence between him and marchisio, in how much efford opponents had to make to penitrate our half. that is offcourse normal cause marchisio is tactically one of the best in the world, hence why conte rates him so highly.
If we play pogba now, a positional mistake could cost us goals. and him having to focus far to much about "not fucking up" costs precious development time.
You guys need to stop pretending a bunch of talented juniors can go and win shit. this is not south america.
THere is a BIG reason why in italy, "23 is youngster", its because of the very tactical play in italy, where fuckups lose you games.
Its so easy to have a forward play. Hence, its a missed chance if he fails. a goal against... thats something else.

He has the passing, technique, vision and strength to be able to replace Pirlo in the future and I think it's gonna be Andrea who we see playing less games this season to make room for Pogba. Under Pirlo's tutelage, Pogba could easily become the next guy to play that deep-lying playmaker role.
And i very much agree with this because the BEST thing to do, is simply have him rotate with pirlo, cause he has much more freedom, can learn from the way vidal and marchisio move and read the play but mostly, he'll have them both backing him up.
THIS, is why you will never see "oh play marrone and pogba togheter". Thats not enough cover, conte wont do that. Hence, he played giac and padoin in the center before he'd consider marrone next to pogba
