El Profesor Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I find these young generation of players so frustrating to watch Rashford, for example, he definitely has a lot going for him, very good player, big potential, but his technichal gestures are so imprecise. I fear this is part of a general trend and in the long-term, football will be a defender and midfielder's game, since the gap of ability between them and forwards becomes gradually smaller.

The Artful Dodger Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I rate Pogba but it’s hardly outrageous to say Fernandes is as talented. The whole ‘naturally talented’ stuff is bollocks, you work hard for talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 17, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 17, 2021 I thought Liverpool would come out and batter Man Utd to be honest, they would flurry them early doors and get an early 2 goal lead or something. It hasn't happened though. Man Utd have defended well. Actually think they might pinch this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Take away Bruno's penalties and I wouldn't say he's rocked the world. Anyway, if I wasn't confident before I'm certainly not now. Utd have to improve on that first half and they will. We as per usual recently just don't look like scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I am gonna back @Danny. Influence does not mean natural talent. Pogba being a "luxury player" specifies his talent on it's own. Not having consistency is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better passing short and long, better dribbling, better long range shooting, his technique, all round just more talented. But mentally I don’t think he’s the player Bruno is hence the impact Bruno has made on the team, and of course Bruno is actually a brilliant player.

Pogba for talent is genuinely one of the best in the world, for talent he’s up there with someone like Thiago. But the difference his clear as day between them, Thiago much like Bruno has an elite level, world class mentality and Pogba doesn’t, which is why the actual output is so different.

The whole ‘naturally talented’ stuff is bollocks, you work hard for talent. You can have talent but it doesn't make you a good footballer. You have other things to take into account like physique, discipline on and off the pitch, if you're mentally strong, decision making, work rate, hunger to win, influence on and off the pitch, etc. Having the talent is a major factor but if you don't have the rest you won't end up in top tier football.

Don't get why it has to be 5. You said arguably the most talented player in the league. I disagree. Why are you getting so defensive about it ?

Rick Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 First half hour was good, played the ball around well and got into the last third plenty. Firmino should have done a lot better on a couple of occasion when he really should have scored. Utd got back into it in the last 15 minutes, but it’s come from our own pissing about at the back. Get it into midfield quicker and let Thiago & Shaqiri dictate the game like they were early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted January 17, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 17, 2021 I was one of those at the beginning when he went to Juve then came back to United banging about how talented Pogba is. But how can long can you say someone is talented whilst they continue to underachieve and not influence their team consistently the way they should? It gets boring saying “yeah but he’s talented” if he was that talented he’d be a consistent performer in a team that’s been under achieving. And you’d see the improvement and impact a genuine world class talented player should have. The same way an actual elite talented player such as Gerrard consistently performed well in his Liverpool team and dragged them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between being talented and a top tier footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how you are able to make such a definition to be honest. Talent is only evident in performances, unless you have access to their training? I see nothing to suggest Fernandes is a level below Pogba in terms of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
