I think Buffon has given more reason to be dropped than Pogba but that's just me and I don't know about tactics.

No one is talking about the bench...Though its funny that even discussing the possibility of it seen as sacrilogious by some.
Yes, a lot are mentioning he should be dropped for Marchisio. And I don't want to call them Marchisio fanboys but that's a pretty ridiculous notion imo. One of the most promising midfielders in the world benched.

Ofcourse, we start with the simpleton approach of us vs them, yeah I am a some Marchisio fanboy because I acknowledged he is excellent at positioning/movement, woopty doo.

Umm, because there is nothing to discuss about him in terms of things to improve? He is already the perfect player? How is it unreasonable criticism to notice he lacks in positioning so far, jeez.
It's funny because it's one thing! When he shines then people shut their mouth, but then they have to find something else to bitch about.

Hopefully Marchisio shows his excellent positioning on the bench, switching one place to another. Hilarious how much credit he gets, usually over absolutely nothing.

Why?

I could present an argument as to why in particular games (aside from Buffon, Tevez and Vidal, probably) any Juve player could legitimately be dropped.
But we never talked about any particular match here, it's just the basic idea of Pogba sitting on the bench and being a rotation himself.

Umm noticing that a young player lacks in some parts of his game and is not perfect is bitching? And that acknowledging Marchisio is excellent in some other skillset then Pogba, is hilariously giving him too much credit? Honestly, can you be more exaggaredly biased in what should really be a simple topic?

since you rate ferguson so highly, let me present you this argument:

ronaldo was pretty inconsistent in his first 2.5 years in manu. in fact many manu fans were calling for his sale, saying he was all flair and no end prduct. then boom he explodes into the player he is. but it is mainly due to fergie playign him every match.

same must apply here.

Not that, but people always finding something to criticize Pogba. It's pretty hilarious.
Isn't this actually the first time ever there is some serious criticism for Pogba? Not talking about single individuals or posts (mine included :D) but some actual agreements.

Which is odd, considering he wasn't THAT bad last Saturday.

It's because they are tactically sound. Peasants like you and I can't comprehend these truly complicated issues. We only notice flair and fancy.

Absolutely.You can only improve with 'real' match experience.

He hasnt done anything that warrants him to be benched.Positives by far outweigh all the negative criticism towards him.He didnt even have a bad game infact.

In my case my view of his positioning/movement has nothing to do with last game but overall impression (nor am I of the opinion he should be benched), except that when he took Pirlo's role for 20 mins, it reminded me of it, how Bonucci had to point to him where to go etc.

Overall performance for him was subpar-ish and average. Like most of our players more or less.

He's been good overall since Marchisio got injured. Some would say blessing in disguise. From what I've been reading on Italian sites most people would want Pirlo benched when Marchisio returns. The old man needs some rest. He's been playing practically non stop for Juve and Italy in the last 2 years.

Definitely. Pirlo is becoming a double edged sword. Good for us on his day, but counterproductive and even dangerous on his bad days.
