Its not really all that hard. There's plenty of quality workman midfielders that can work alongside Pogba.
At the WC, he played next to Matuidi and Kante often...two HOLDING midfielders. It is really not a crazy concept. As you illustrated, with Juve, they had Vidal and Marchisio. Two GOOD but not generationally stellar talents. But they did the work and Pogba was allowed the freedom.

I refuse to make Pogba the constant scapegoat of a team that can't defend for shyt, and haven't been able to for almost 5 seasons.
For real, this is relegation form. Imagine what Mane or Aubameyang would do to this team. :wow:
Wilfred Zaha embarrassed them. Let that sink in.

Or just move on from Pogba. Don't build around him, he hasn't shown much since he's been back.

Honestly he can be replaced for less than 90mill.

Pogba isn't the main issue but he hasn't done enough
