Pogba or De Bruyne? (Historical)

[Manchester1894]

Pogba is highly skillful/athletic when he wants to be but I think as Charlie Adam said very well (after Stoke held them), he's not disciplined and they targeted him when moving the ball around, knowing he'd wander. He's also very slow and meandering and others team mates carry him through matches. KDB is hardworking and intelligent, does need to use flicks that often, just win the ball and put it on a plate.

Going back to the discipline, Pogba's injurys to that hamstring, also partially blamed on his refusal to adhere to the clubs strict programmes. Hence icy stance from Mourinho in the conferences when talking about him.

Looks like he'll be back after the international break, think that could be the difference in the title race, the dream was good whilst it lasted.

i'm shitting it, they are only 8 points behind and are already stronger in every position.

I'd love to see how Pep could integrate him and what a player he could be under him, got a feeling it could be a case of what could have been though.

De Bruyne every day for me.

Pogba is very inconsistent - if he plays his top game nearly every game he'd be phenomenal. But he continues to be inconsistent - so that's probably innate.

KDB is perhaps a bit less talented when both players are at top form - but Pogba often isn't at top form. KDB for me, is far better than Pogba.

KDB a bit less talented Ffs are you for real ?
