Mourinho should get the sack, he has lost the support of the players from what I observed today...We were second best to every ball...

Why can't they just lay off Man Utd, they concoct all sort of lies just so they sell.

hopefulLandlord:
Your point is?

What varieties of positions can pogba play and still be at top level? last I checked even United fans were saying Pogba is not playing so well because the formation doesn't suit him or he needs 2 defensive players to mop up

Put Kroos in Man Utd and Pogba in Madrid and your argument will favour Pogba

liveLongNprospa:
Yup that's why One of them has 4 UCL and a WC and the other has well EPL and a bronze WC medal

When comparing players, do well to separate individual achievements from team success...Kroos is definitely not better than Xavi in his time who didn't win 4 UCL neither is Pedro better than Griezmann or Giroud better than Diego Costa...We're on about individual quality here bro.

At this point, I think neither camp is willing to shift ground thus to each, his own...For me and my family, it's KDB over Kroos any day...I'd understand if the argument was all about Pogba but KDB?Common, you can't beat the best...

liveLongNprospa:
Please squawka is free for you to check

I have had no reason to question my vision, the guys over they might have other opinions based on what they have seen thus far but for me, KDB is the way, the truth and the best AM at the moment.

spartacus11:
Why is KDB having some negative -ve scores on those stats

I saw it and immediately thought it was manipulated

Roland17:
100% no questions asked, it does not diminish KDB’s quality either because he is a good player, but in comparison to Kroos? Not for me.

In what area do you think Kroos outshines KDB?

liveLongNprospa:
YES!!!!... HELL YES!!!!... HELLLLLLL YYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!

Your call, for me and my family, it's KDB all day, I'd even take Pogba and Erikson over Kroos and for those folks who think we only watch the EPL, I have followed Kroos all through his Bayern days. It's down to preference now rather than ability on the field of play, a shame as that how most opinions are built here.

Roland17:
The interpretation of skill and talent is purely subjective my brother.

That is why, even if Hazard wins the World Cup, he would never be considered a great player in Dayo’s books.

So you rather have Kroos than KDB?

Melvyn11:
bullocks..... Modrić and Kroos are untouchable. When in
form, they’re the two best midfielders in the world plus they’re usually very, very
consistent. No one comes close.

Why so pained? It has nothing to do with the EPL as your utterly myopic mind would have you think, it's based on talent and skill and that alone...

raumdeuter:
KDB cannot displace Casemiro as a DM, but he can displace Kroos

By anywhere, I meant club not role on the pitch...Kroos is the one that is dispensable no doubt

larride:
His own comparison sef get as he be.

Lol some the players he listed are not better than Kroos.

Coutinho14:
the Bleep is this guy saying? xavi at 28 was already the best midfielder in la liga , Kroos isn't as indispensable as you think.A whole lot of midfielders are better than him (Coutinho , KDB, Eriksen and possibly Veratti) and you dare compare him to Xavi? you need help

I saw that odd comparison and shook my head...

Vanquay:
Let's be honest. I dont see Pogba or De Bruyne displacing anybody in that Madrid Midfield maybe Kroos...a slight maybe.

KDB will play anywhere he finds himself, he is that special.

madrid5:
pogba is a more creative hahaha,bros abeg nor vex do you take weed regularly?

Well, we're not having any headway so let's just end it here...

raumdeuter:
Take away the price even if they buy them for $1. ABility wise, KDB over Kroos and potentially over Modric if he drops performance due to age.

Pogba I cannot guarantee

Pogba vs Kroos will depend on the coach involved, while Kroos is better when it comes to keeping possession, Pogba is the more creative player and his passes are more daring that why he might lose possession more easily.

madrid5:
pogba and kdb will start over kroos,Jesus Christ if you are not busy come and look at this nonesense,lol,you premier league fans can talk nonsense sha,Debruyne never bath to start for that midfield,you think say kroos na smallboy abi,he is a better playmaker than even even modric seft.except your albino and French nigger can play defensive midfield over casemero them not go start that midfield especially pogba.

I don't subscribe to name calling in an argument, tagging the argument of others as nonsense is rude.
Kroos a better play-maker than Modric just to justify why he should keep his place on the team? I bet you do not believe what you just wrote, as I pointed out earlier on, saying KDB is better than Kroos isn't a knock down on Kroos in anyway.

hensben:
Ehen Thanks for the info.
Please can you give me any team that did it? I just want to be clear on it.

Arsenal has done it before.

Madrid5, KDB and Pogba are very talented but apart from talent, they'd cost any club a fortune, one that puts pressure on the manager to play them. If Bale wasn't always injured, it'd be shocking for any sane manager to have him on the bench. James is quality but he isn't like KDB or Pogba who can be used in a variety of positions and still perform at top level.
KDB is at present, the best AM midfielder in the world and he can even play as a CM without a drop in quality so too can Pogba who isn't as influential as KDB.

hensben:
Yes ooo

No, an English player must not play but must make the bench at least.

liveLongNprospa:
Okay...tell ua who they would bench na in a 433 formation of last season..
Cr7 benz bale
Kross Case Modric


So how we doing this?

The best you can say is they will get rotated well..
But not as starters..nope
Those 3 guys will be ahead of them steady.

And if its a 442 diamond then pogba and isco will rotate... This is not taking into account the fact that the coach might decide to play Bale in the hole or also play Asensio too..
Because i don't see how Pogba is getting to start ahead of the holy trinity of Kross, Modric or Case

Why you keep listing Bale as a starter last season is what I don't understand, same Bale that was rumored to be considering his option in the team after Isco was preferred to him by Zizzou is the one you're are bring up here in a bid to win an argument.
Even if I accept that Bale was a starter, KDB will easily displace Kroos in that midfield (no disrespect to Kroos but KDB is just excellent). Also, for his personality and ability, Pogba will start over Kroos.

Unlimited22:
Isco.

KDB is better than Isco and Pogba will most definitely have a place in the team...

madrid5:
no they won't, not at real Madrid of last season or the season before that.

CR7 Benz bale
Modric case kroos
Mar Ramos varane carv
Navas.
Who they wan bench here

Any coach that has KDB or Pogba will alter his formation to accommodate them and note that Bale was not a guaranteed starter last season.

madrid5:
debruyne and pogba wont start at real madid

De Bruyne and Pogba will definitely start anywhere they find themselves...

zicoraads:
Simple majority is not what the constitution says. Either your party comes with two third or they should forget it.

But Saraki didn't get in fairly so I care less if he is served his own medicine...

Punstar:
Wake me up when Messi takes on a challenge as such

How exactly is going to Juve a challenge? A team that has won the serie A trophy for more than 4 times consecutively...It's like saying Messi joining a team like City is a challenge when City are so good, packed with world class players.

eph12:
Gayners nko?

Mid-table team...

No big team lost this weekend...

What a weekend, no big team lost...If you know, you know...

Every other season, you find Arsenal fans in their numbers here during the preseason with so much optimism before the season kicks off but when the season begins, they desert this place like it's a cursed thread...

We die here...Sane - Silva - Mahrez...Arsenal defense legbegbe
