Fred job is to keep the ball moving. He's not going to give you goals or through balls. What he's going to give you is the energy to keep our midfield on top. I can point to many other midfielders in that role in other top teams. He made a total of 3 shots of which 2 were off targets. Should we look at how many of Bruno's shots were off targets? Before that particular Fred shot, Bruno just hit a shot very high but you didn't say anything. The moment Fred hit his own off target, lamentations started.

Hopefully very soon, you all will appreciate that energy in the midfield. Someone that is available to hassle opponents and try to cut them off. He was dribbled a total of 2 times, Tom once. But you're saying it like he was beaten throughout the game while Tom was winning the balls back. Go and check their ball recovery stats.

I hope OGS puts Fred on the bench till the end of the season so that we can lament over a slow midfield that can't keep up with the opponent pace.

The inability to play line breaking passes by some of our midfielders is why we have difficulty with breaking down teams. True, Fred provides energy in the midfield but he over commits when trying to intersect passes and he usually comes up short thereby needed much time to recover and putting more pressure on the team.

If he does not improve of these aspects of his game he should be phased out of the team.

Stats should never be the main factor when accessing a player, you mentioned that he was dribbled twice. Why dribble him when he will over extend while trying to cut out a pass but fail to do so thereby falling out of position.

Pogba is a fine player but he is just not suited for such role. If we need our defenders bombing forward, we will definitely need midfielders that can sit and neutralize any counters

eph12:
By the way, looks like something is wrong with Arnold at LFC. We don't see all those spam crosses again. He's taken more defensive role. In fact it was Henderson I was seeing down that wing most of the time

PSG use their full backs to push forward and create width. We will most likely be chasing and closing down their players for long periods.

Not a Mata game.

I would play a 3-5-2 and leave Martial and Rashford up front.

Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw as CBs.

Telles, AWB as wingbacks.

Matic, Bruno, VDB in midfield.

Cavani, Greenwood, Pogba, Bailly, Fred, McTom on the bench.

Nothing is wrong with him, he just had to curb his attacking forays forward because he was becoming a target for opposition wingers worst off, he isn't blessed with pace like Robertson...

Which role is Jogba suited for? He has been played in every single midfield position, snd with several midfielders, some bought specifically for him, in all he failed to do anything significant. All the midfielders we signed could not unlock Pogba, his mates like Mata, Bruno, Mctoms, Herrera etc excel in different midfield positions. Yesterday Bruno went to the Left wing immediately James went out and pogba and VDB entered and had a hand in all 3 goals scored after that, Mata played from the right too and excelled. But for Jogba we are still looking for the best position for him since 4 years now, he is 27 now and doesn't want to have sense. Even Havertz and Mount that are much younger than him have been played in variety of midfield positions by Lampard and still excel, but for the foo.l we still need to use almighty formula and schrodinger equation to figure out the best position to play him and best players to unlock him with. If not that Ole is another I.diot on his own right, that Virus would have been booted out long ago. V

Teams have figured him out, he is poor defensively do teams just load that his position with balls, giving him more defensive work to do, he is now more concerned about his defensive duties now. With VVD getting injured now, he will be on a long thing. TAA has been on my fantasy team, he has consistently disappointed me. I will sell him eventually

Pogba will be much better with less defensive work. Two solid CDM behind him will bring out the best in him. He shouldn't be playing from deep unless the team is playing defensive football

Pogba was not a 10 as a youth player, he wasn’t a 10 in Juve, he does not play as a 10 for France.

When he was used as a 10 for a short period under JM he struggled to get involved in games and people said he had to be played in a deeper role so that he can influence games.

Now you are saying he should be moved back again to 10?

In Juve, he had Marchiso and Vidal playing beside him in the midfield or Marchiso and Khedira in midfield beside him. In the world cup winning squad, he had Kante and Matuidi. Who was the 10 among these players?

They also said Mou only plays defensive football but Spurs have scored 16 goals in their last 3 matches...
