Latest moments? He has been awful for 2 years now.

And of course SMS played several big games with Lazio. He's not as talented as Pogba, but ralent alone isn't enough. His career is heading to Cassano's level, but with more superstardom mainly also because of the club he plays for.

Pogba with us was better than SMS and few were better than the French at that time, but as of now, it's not even a competition.
Put SMS in a big club or a big nations dysfunctional NT (top players most positions, but no one fighting in this game, no game plan) like it's the case for Pogba, and scrutinize everything he does (and yeah he is mentally retarded player), only then can we talk of wether SMS can handle the pressure.


I really like SMS, but I don't see a player who is in Pogbas level of skill and ability. Put him under Mourinho as DM instead of free roaming box to box who just attacks, and I can see him be even more of a bust for Man U too.

I agree but these players are ridiculously overrated and overvalued.

Mainly because they barely want to fight for the ball.

:agree: thought they would be favorites but watching their display today ( not taking anything from an awesome Australia) they are nowhere near being a team that can win this.

Allegri got the best out of Pogba. He needs everything going for him like he had with us.

You're saying it's not Pogba's fault he has been average in the past 2 years, however making it soud as if it's SMS fault for playing at Lazio.

Sometimes it's good not to see those stupid celebrations that he does.
Or his stupid face.

:agree:

Absolutely dreadful commentators. Lawrenson clearly hates any kind of technology and still going on about the penalty decision because the Australia guy might have barely touched the ball before bringing down Griezmann.

yeah he kept going on about the penalty for way too long :agree: and then about the right back France has who plays as a CB in Stuttgart :inter: the other guy was equally annoyed because he had to explain to him why :lol:

considering their history, it wouldn't be surprising, but now they probably have the best youth system and arguably one of the strongest squads. i thought i wanted dd back to juve at some point, but if it's the best he can get out of this france squad...

Pogba is a high demand player, in terms of needing the perfect role and tactical set up, but he is a top class player. He is responsible for his performances, especially since his focus is poor and lacks in decision making, but equally as important is your coach tactics or lack of it. You should know what you have and how to use it. And Mourinho has no clue how to play Pogba, the freedom and set up to give him to maximize his ability.


He is bailed out by his freakish ability in terms of what he has done for Man U despite that set up. Pogba has it in him to be anonymous or lacking in games but somehow decide things for you when it's needed, since he do that quite a bit for Man U too, and he did that alot for us.


And imo SMS would suffer even more in Man U playing as holding mid, because he doesn't have the game changing skill Pogba has in final third while needing the same exact free roaming role Pogba requires (they are essentially same player in approach a bit).



And yeah SMS is fantastic, but he is unproven in top top level unproven because he is in Lazio, so why are we talking like he is so better then player who has been expected to amongst the best in top football? Pogba absolutely dominated Serie A for us in a way SMS hasnt done yet.
