Another thing about pogba is the myth of his strength, yeah he's a big lad but he's like the guy in the playground who just throws his weight around rather than being pure strength like dembele for example. Leaves his elbows out, throws his weight in and tries to win a FK
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There's no "myth" about it. Pogba is a strong presence. The number of duels he wins is immense. He loses the ball more than Dembele cos he takes far more risks than Dembele.

Looks like you've believed the myth. And how do you judge risk? Because dembele drove into the chelsea half and towards the box numerous times against us.

According to the stats at the ever reliable Football whispers website, Henderson has won a higher percentage of his duels than Pogba.

Kante and Cattermole are also similarly matched, I should do a thread on them.

Nah....that's ballacks. To say Pogba's strength is a myth is demonstrable ballacks.

He takes more risks than Dembele making things happen. He creates far more than Dembele does and averages more dribbles. In any case, using one of the strongest midfield runners in the PL to denigrate Pogba would be silly. It's like saying Hazard's dribbling ability is a myth because Messi might be a better dribbler.

It's close.

Drogba often lost the ball a lot compared to Berbatov. Drogba's strength is a myth. Great logic.

posted on 13/1/17

The question is....is pogba the new depay or di maria?? Because i remember both being signed and utd fans having the same hysteria they now have for pogba.

No it isn't.

It's as ridiculous as the comparison between Pogba and Henderson.

posted on 13/1/17

Nope.

posted on 13/1/17

It is. Anyway I'm off this is as boring as a sideways Henderson pass

posted on 13/1/17

I know you want Pogba to be far and away a better player because he's Pogba and he cost loads and he dabs but the fact of the matter is he's not been far and away better than Henderson at all (although playing different roles).

You keep getting Pannini stickers and I'll follow football.

But he cost £90m

posted on 13/1/17

I don't even have a problem with the cost but Henderson has been playing very well indeed and did two seasons ago too. The heel injury (plantar fasciitis is people want to read up on this awful injury) has held him back last year but for tackling, work rate, passing, tempo and creating chances their have been few, if any, better in the league this season.

Are we talking since the beginning of the season?

Then it has to be Henderson.

Sky are doing an analysis on the two players on there webpage which I think shows that Pogba is performing better now.

If we are talking before this season then it's without a doubt Pogba. Title winning teams don't have passengers and Pogba was pivotal for Juve winning multiple league titles and reaching a CL final.

"Paul pogba do you consider yourself a better footballer than Jordan Henderson?"

"I think so, I'm faster, stronger, better passer, better shot, much quicker speed of thought, better tackler, better all round really"

"Jordan Henderson do you consider yourself a better footballer than Paul Pogba?"

"Aaaayyyyeee, I do like you naaaaaaa"
