Is Pogba truly struggling at United? (self.reddevils)

mondaysmydayManchester United が 投稿

I would like to share this fantastic article over at Stats Bomb that addresses a question we've all been grappling with: Is the Utd v2 Pogba worse than the Juve one? Has he been a good player and simply let down by poor play from his teammates? Is r/soccer right about him?

The article does a great job comparing his output (goals + assists per 90 minutes of play) vs. his inputs (Expected Goals + Assists)

What is actually happening is that Pogba is playing at the same level, if not better than, as at Juventus. The real issue is that his teammates are struggling to capitalize on those opportunities.

While he is not without blame, particularly defensively, it matches my eye test in that Pogba is always good for 3-4 good chances a game. According to Sir Alex, that is what a world class player produces for you night-in night-out.

That is worth 90 million in today's market for me

If he scored half the shots that hit the woodwork & got assists for half the real clear cut chances he's created, his stats would be crazy for a CM. Yeah I know, if my auntie had a dick etc but really fine margins have stopped people seeing his season as amazing.

Came here expecting to put a sarcastic "No", was pleasantly surprised, thanks for sharing.

Great article. Thanks for posting! Two things that I didn't see mentioned (though I did skim a bit since I'm at work) are the crazy amount he has played this year and the fact that we don't have an industrious CDM behind him. Not bashing Carrick, but someone who could cover more ground would help.

Watching our midfield without him is literally scary. he does so much it is truly incredible. plus if he had converted even half of his shots that had hit the bar this "debate" wouldn't be happening

No he's been great. This line sums it up:

Pogba to Ibrahimovic (19) is the most common key pass in the league this year, and Ibrahimovic to Pogba isn’t far behind (14).

When so much of the onus are on two of our players to create something it is a hell of a lot easier to focus manpower on them to demote the club to a LVG side. Give them the service they had in their former respective clubs and the task would be much, much easier with that extra split second and yard of space to act.
