Welp, was THAT my claim? Or was it...
Are those two statements the same? You know, "not press resistant" and "not a very press resistant player" relative to his technical ability. I would argue that you are setting up a strawman while mischaracterizing my point.
Please debate in good faith...
Now, Pogba can escape and run off with the ball but he is rarely under control and often it ends up with him in an awful challenge. He can be harassed quite easily into an error while on the ball. Search any Liverpool-ManU game for incontrovertible proof. And though folks of bad faith may be tempted to shout "but that's liverpool blah blah blah", there are many players that don't brick it against Liverpool.
So what does this point have to do with anything? What is the correlation between international football success (with the most talented team on the planet) and him 'thriving' anywhere else he goes? Again, one of my points is that you are talking about a player that you have not identified why they suck in the PL. You say it's motivation. You are wrong. Folks say similar about Dele and why things are going wrong for him. but they are wrong too.
If Pogba goes to italy he will be provided the time and space he needs to play his game. If he goes anywhere else he might have problems depending on the situation/setup/supporting talent.
He's press resistant relative to any technical ability. I'd say he's one of the more press resistant players out there. Whenever he's dispossessed it's almost never because he's pressed, but because he's being overly elaborate (As is the case with the situation you describe..) and tries to take on too much. He creates problems for himself by being too much of an individual. I see that less for France, so can put it down at least in part to the system at United, and him feeling too much of a burden to create. Sometimes he doesn't even look particularly bothered at all in a United shirt.
If you're starting pretty much every game (and probably the top performer, whenever I watch France anyhow..) for the best NT in the world, you're probably pretty good. I don't think there's any real comparison with how Dele looks and how Pogba looks. Dele wouldn't be capable of doing what Pogba does for France in a million years. There's a reason he's being picked up by Everton whereas if Pogba was to be available for almost no fee, a top club would certainly pick him up.
