memeing him good but lets be serious for a second. why did he fail this season? will he be better next year?
>Manchester United spent £120M on the dabbing Jake Livermore
not even memeing but you can see he's trying to play positive attacking football in a team that's all about negative football
He needs protection.
At Juventus he had the following players behind and beside him. Pirlo / Vidal / Marchisio or Khedira / Pirlo / Marchisio
Most of those players are superstars and won the ball back when Pogba would fuck off to the left wing to try tricks and have long range shots.
At Juventus he never had to take control of midfield, and he has not adjusted to this responsibility at United yet.
yeah, he's definetely not used in his full potential, but even in his full potential he is not top 5 midfielder in the world, maybe not even in the Prem.

Literally the second best player in the league.
there's obviously a chemistry issue, he and his teammates don't know what each other is going to do
How much of that is going to ManU? And how many jerseys do they sell on average for a ManU player?
>And how many jerseys do they sell on average for a ManU player?
Apparently they sold just under 3 million in total last year, so I'm calling bullshit on over a million being from a single player.

Who shall I listen to?
Whoscored is heavily biased towards dribbles. In the Barcelona game where Suarez got a brace he was given a lower score than Neymar who had no goals or assists but some dribbles This is why Azzar always has such a high rating
>needing others to tell you what to think
Zorba pls.
And for defenders it's heavily weighted for tackles, which is why Otamendi is there. He's always making last ditch tackles, because his positioning is atrocious.
>literally hundred millions for james ward-prowse coated in shoe polish
The probably is that there's basically no way to quantify position, whereas with Tackles, Interceptions and Blocks you can
>Manchester United spent £120M on the dabbing (insert mediocre cmf here)
I am going to try to see if you can derive back the equation they use. I am going to assume it's linear for each stat and not some weird shit.
>derive
Maybe not the right word. Reverse engineer? I guess.
They also spent a shitload of money on the original (mixed) Fellaini
If you search the site a bit you can probably find it
I tried, it's described as something with over 200 stats in it, but they I can't find the formula and weights.
The real problem is knowing if each stat is weiighted differently for position and if yes what position what weight.
I give up, it's trivial but too time consuming with all the stats they have there.

shieeeeeeeeeeet
i should go to dab university to get my dabbing degree
>whoscored ratings
>a respect website
All in all the scores from whoscored are pretty accurate. I'd only call bullshit on Otamendi and Kolarov, and Pogba also was obviously not the second best player, but you could argue he is among the top4 midfielders. So as i said all in all accurate.
>The real problem is knowing if each stat is weiighted differently for position and if yes what position what weight
Which is another problem with trying to make an XI with just stats. It heavily favours players, who are good at easily quantifiable things, and also makes the assumption that players on a certain position should all be good at a certain thing, regardless of what system their team plays.
Buy now
Next to nothing, if anything at all. Adidas keeps the money, they pay Manure 70 million a year (30% lower if they don't qualify for CL) for exclusive rights and can print shirts with Pogba swininging from a tree with banana in his hand if that's what they want. Manure made someting like 40 million previous season on total merchandise sales, and that includes every mug and scarf Korean tourists buy at Old Toilet.

Kek, cheers based Chile.
stoped caring for whoscored and other similar sites ratings when Real Madrid got that game where opponents were down to 9 man in 20 or 30 minutes and some of them - Benzema, Bale, James iirc - got 10.0 ratings.
How can you compare this with let's say a goal and an assist in even match where both teams put high quality performances?
I mean if you dribble 2 times against great opponent, is it not worth more than dribble 10 times past literally whos? How can you compare this with use of numbers?
...
That's inherent flaw of any statistic, not just those comparison websites. But whoscored's problems are far worse, to the point where their ratings aren't even orientational but simply worthless. Anons already pointed out how weirdly tackles and stuff are evaluated, but what's worst is their value of successful short passes. Hypothetically (You) could become an attacking midfielder for Bayern, do nothing but stand 5 feet away from Lewa/Muller/Thiago whoever and just pass them ball 60 times a match doing absolutely nothing else and you'd end up with 8.9 rating. That's how Pogba gets his points, because as we know he's the Passing King™ (36th in making key passes, but we're not going to tweet that are we)
