Paul Pogba is one of the most highly-rated young footballers on the planet, but how many of the standard football crowd have actually seen him play? Well, it's a fraction of the enormous group of fans who talk about him, for sure. He is a supremely-talented player, there's no doubt, but he's yet to truly prove himself on the very highest stage. He cracked under the pressure of the Champions League Final against the mighty Barcelona who could claim to boast the best midfield in the world at the time. He looked like a level below the elite so while I'm not saying he's a terrible player, an improvement on his 84 rating would be premature.
