So Payet and Erikssen retired after 2015/2016?

From what you shared, they both scored 4/8.

The only football attribute Payet beats Eriksen is dribbling.

At that point, Eriksen had 24 apps to Payet’s 20 apps.

Payet is clear. He created the most chances in the top 5 leagues of Europe for a decade.

Not KDB, not David Silva and not the midget in PSG.

Expert17:
Lol,

Passing - Eriksen
Assisting - Eriksen
Goals - Eriksen
Set pieces - Eriksen
Chances creation - Eriksen

But Payet is better, okay

Where is Eriksen on this list?

I rest my case.

You probably didn’t watch Payet at West Ham. He was a bigger influence to the Hammers than Bruno was for us and Bruno was huge.

This was their head to head stats in 2015/16 for context. You know I always have receipt for this type of discourse.

There you go…..

Expert17:
Yeah, and Matuidi played with 8/10 CM at PSG/Juventus/France.

He's currently struggling in MLS.

He’s 35.

Where should he be?

Expert17:
Payet better than Eriksen?

Shaku shaku with no output, Eriksen beats him in everything.

Matuidi?

Payet is better than Eriksen.

Englishisamust:
Why do you think Brighton and Brentford give us wotowoto.

They wouldn’t acknowledge this point.

Eriksen did not win any PL game with Maguire/Shaw but Pogba is a flop when all he had throughout were those clowns?

How football fans cannot put context in their argument makes me laugh. They are the same people that said Ronaldo was the reason United finished 6th last season.

Without him, United would have won the PL at a canter.

Englishisamust:
Who did he want to bench there?? . Despite pogba injury Deschamps still dey chase pogba for world cup.

The last Euros was when I raised my hands and gave up Pogba is truly world class.

The kind of passes he was spraying from deep, KDB couldn’t reach that level of ingenuity.

He was too good. Profligacy in front of goal killed France. Pogba was the star of that competition.

Expert17:
But Matuidi,Payet and Rabiot made the team.

Matuidi/Payet are better than Eriksen.

Rabiot was left out in their 2018 World Cup team, placed on a reserve list and he took himself out of it.

In 2020 Euros, Rabiot only made the squad cos it was increased to 26 players(COVID reasons) and he only played as a left back after France’s 2 left backs got injured.

Brendan Rodgers could get sacked on Monday.

Expert17:
Pogba was great for Juventus and France and not Man Utd.

In our books, he's behind Herrera and Bruno.

Eriksen won’t make the French squad.

Son Heung-min.

What a goal!!!!!

odizeey:
You look at some claims here and begin to laugh.

Same people that are expecting Martial to cook under Ten Hag are talking trash about Pogba. To them management was the problem of Martial. "He was run down"

A lot of people here use their personal issues to rank players.

I can hate a player but acknowledge his talents. They are two different issues.

Over here, if they don’t like a certain player. Everything about him must be bad.

There are MESSI fans here who think Elanga is better than Ronaldo.

Expert17:
Herrera carried Pogba, In fact Herrera and Romero were better in that competition.

Bruno won all his awards on the pitch not by votes, goals scored, assists, etc.

After Maguire, Pogba is our worst signing

Herrera carried Pogba in 2017 Europa but it was Pogba that won 5 MOTMs in the competition.

Once again, the jokes write itself.

Bruno won all his awards on the pitch but he couldn’t get past the farmers of Villareal in 120 minutes of football.


Pogba, however, scored against a very good Ajax side in a final to win the first Europa competition for Man Utd.

There are levels to greatness.

Expert17:
But Ander Herrera was our best midfielder and player of the season 2016/2017.

I will take Herrera at Manchester over Flogba

I said Pogba won the Europa trophy and he was the best player of that competition.

Bruno didn’t win Europa and he was never considered the best player in Europa - he’s played in it twice.

Pogba is the better player.

Expert17:
Bruno flopped in Europa?

The same person that won

Highest goal scorer
Team of the season x3
2nd best player X2

Bruno didn’t win the cup
Bruno wasn’t the best player

- Pogba won everything in 16/17 and half of the first team were on crutches.

Leyqute:
How often was Pogba injured when Mourinho signed him?

Inconsistency was the reason he was played all over the pitch. And he failed to excel in all those roles.

He was one of our best players under Mourinho.

Inconsistency wasn’t the reason he was played all over the pitch. The lack of quality players was why Pogba was moved round to compensate for the weakness in the team.

Englishisamust:
I forgot add uefa Europa best player of the year 2016/2017 playing with mediocre players.

Let give some respect to pogba abeg.

Bruno and Eriksen have played in this competition many many times with a much better squad, they all flopped.

Meanwhile, Pogba……

Expert17:
Doesn't matter what he has won or not. Is Giroud better than Kane?

Kane won a golden boot in the same competition Giroud starred in.

Expert17:
How many World XI has Paul Scholes graced? Is Toni kroos better than him?

We would never know cos your analogy is wrong. They played in different eras.

Pogba/Eriksen + Kane/Giroud are all playing in the same era. We should be able to form a more accurate comparative analysis between them.

Expert17:
Pogba is a big scam, scammer of the century

This could be true but he is still better than Eriksen.

Expert17:
Absolutely nothing.

An AM playing CM as if he has played there for years.

Yet, Eriksen has won nothing for Spurs. When they were in a title race with Leicester, Eriksen managed to come 3rd.

Eriksen hasn’t pulled trees for Denmark either. Eriksen has never graced the top XI players in the world. I can’t remember him scoring in any final. When he faced Liverpool in a CL final, he was eaten alive.

Please, Pogba is clearly the better player.

raumdeuter:
Most of those pollsters are not even eligible voters

Every presidential poll I have seen on twitter does not have up to 50K votes and people bandy them about like it’s the gospel.

Another funny one is using thousands of supporters to prove candidate XYZ would win the elections. Nigeria is so highly populated that just about anyone can pull such crowds.

Did GEJ not have a crowd of supporters when he lost in 2015? Even Portable or Davido can pull a crowd of million folks. Does that mean they would win an election?

Nigerians are funny people.

Expert17:
Herrera was the main man when we won those trophies, I think he won the player of the season that year.

Bruno has won nothing thanks to De Gea ( errors in FA cup vs Chelsea and Villarreal in Europa final) and OLE.

A player with 91 G/A in 132 can't be the reason a team is trophyless

De Gea was the reason Bruno couldn’t find at least one more assist against the farmers of Villareal?

The jokes write itself.

AdisaOwala:
Bar Mctominay whose improvement is glaring for all to see, the other players you mentioned are now benchwarmers.... rightfully so.

Pooorgba wouldn't accept a role on the bench - instead of accepting his shortcomings and look for ways to improve, he would rather moan all day like the Prepubescent biîtch that he has always been.

Thank God the "virus" has been neutralized

Pogba would have eaten under ETH. The competition would have driven him. Who doesn’t want to play next to Casemiro, Eriksen, etc

AdisaOwala:
Jack of all trades - master of none...
That signing has to be the worst in the history of the club

Pooorgba is almost certain to be in the list of "players with potentials who never quite hit the heights"...and he only has himself to blame

Pogba won the World Cup.

He even scored in a World Cup final after many of his critics said he was being carried by Kante. He scored and improved the team after Kante left the pitch.

How many United players won the World Cup?

#Crickets#

PDPGuy:
Kwankwaso is gradually catching up

I like how people use these polls of 35,000 to predict who would win 2023 elections.

One LG in Kano would wipe off these 35,000 people.

Nigeria is too complex for any poll to work.

95% of Nigerians aren’t on social media.

Expert17:
1. They all won player of the season at Man Utd (Herrera, Carrick and Bruno)

2. Bruno has done more for United than Flogba.

3. You are even comparing Carrick with Pogba

Bruno has won nothing at United.

POGBA won trophies with inferior players, scored in a European final.

Leyqute:
What about consistency?

When you are regularly injured like Pogba does, it’s hard to find consistency.

Good form -> injury -> good form -> injury(again).

I have never seen Eriksen on this stage of elite players.

We need to stop disrespecting Labile. Eriksen is doing a very good job right now, we don’t need to start comparing a very good Christian Eriksen to a great player - Paul Pogba.

AdisaOwala:
Pooorgba cannot even be here now because ETH woulda kicked him out even before preseason.

Tbhv, it's good riddance to very bad rubbish - he should continue his dabbing in Italy upon discharge from whatever hospital he is atm

ETH didn’t get rid of Fred, McSauce, Maguire or Shaw, but he would have kicked Pogba out?

I like that you are making jokes out of a serious issue.

Expert17:
Herrera, Bruno, and Carrick played well with these players and ex-coaches, are you guys not tired of daily excuses? Coach, Players, Ref, Condition, media, Padlock, Key, Dm etc

None of those trio was as good as Pogba.

Pogba thrown around the pitch because of quality players. In his time at United, he played as a DM, CM, AM, LW.

Eriksen could never.

Expert17:
Tackling? All the ones that lead to PK right?

Pass? 1 good long pass in 5 games. Lol

I laugh in penalty kick.

The disrespect Labile gets on social media is disgusting.

Expert17:
I can't remember anything spectacular in his game.

Just list his attributes so we can put them side by side with Eriksen.

Passing
Dribbling
Defending
Shooting
Heading the ball
Vision
Technique
Agility
Balance

I can’t think of one attribute Eriksen has over Pogba. The only attributes you can think of are off the pitch. Like agents, the circus around Pogba, etc.

On the pitch, Eriksen has nothing over Pogba. Under Mourinho, there were shit players. When few quality players were added, Ole was a shit manager.

This is the first time in a while United had a decent manager with a crop of quality players and you can see the changes already. If Pogba were to be here now, you would be singing a different tune and wondering.

Expert17:
List the everything

I am not sure you have seen Pogba play because this question is funny to me.

Expert17:
Pogba is the better player by a country mile? If I ask you to prove it, hope you won't start mentioning raw talent?

An attacking midfielder with half life playing well with GhostMctominay, the same player affecting Pogba's game. Pogba is an overrated piece of shit.

Even GhostMcTominay has improved because of the quality full backs and centre halves behind him. McTominay is receiving quality training from Ten Hag to the point that a world class Casemiro can’t get a look.

Pogba is 100 times better than Eriksen - in everything.

Expert17:
You are using a still image to judge, why can't you show us where he was when the ball was played?

Just look at the farmers getting called up ahead of DDG. If he likes he should turn to prime Van Der Sar, no World cup for the mugu

De Gea has represented Spain at the World Cup. De Gea was once adjudged the best goalkeeper in Europe for several seasons.

Henderson is already 26. When will he ever become England’s #1 or be adjudged the best in Europe? If Henderson at his peak cannot touch the lowest form of De Gea, why are we even having this conversation?

Expert17:
Lol, English is a must

No unlocking, unblocking theory with Eriksen despite playing with a knocked engine

The team has improved as well. Pogba would have eaten with a backbone of Licha and Varane partnership.

A midfielder doesn’t work in isolation. We saw how Maguire/Shaw gave Eriksen plenty of problems in the first two games.

Pogba is the better player by a country mile but he was let down by poor recruitment. We all saw Pogba at the Euros and the World Cup, he was eating opponents like macaroni.

Henderson keeps drinking goals like lager beer.

Dude was covering his near post before retreating for a back post shot.

The worst goalkeeper in the entire division.

odizeey:
He should have gone to where suits him more. Less stress. If city was it, fine. Who their loyalty help? Na them dey feed am?

They are always looking for the person causing their downfall

Ronaldo is still their father.

Ronaldo’s problem can never be as bad as scoring 6 league goals in a farmer’s league for an entire season.

Those idiötic United fans that support Messi are the ones driving this narrative of “Ronaldo doesn’t press or Ronaldo doesn’t get involved”.
