Agreed Kel. He'd probably be widely recognised as the best in the business if he weren't injured all the time. Bloke always seem to pop up with big CL performances too. In the last year alone he has singlehandedly dismantled Liverpool and United, and Barcelona in that first 4-0 leg.
Agreed. Could be the best in the business. He was sweating quality last night. The injuries have done him an injustice, as they have Marco Reus.
I wouldn't say 'far better'. Different players, so direct comparison doesn't work. However Pogba is more skilful, better in the air obviously, better long passer, better final pass and generally strikes the ball better (and scores more goals). Verratti is much better at running the game, better short passer, and better tactically. Thus it's a matter of taste. In a deep lying role, Verratti wins everytime, but in a box to box role, it's Pogba IMO.
