Yes, talent is not everything - plenty of talented players who never hit the top of their game or indeed the game.

Do you think his talents are being used well by your managers?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably not, but I don’t think that’s the biggest problem with him.

Yeah fair enough. I don't watch United anything like as much as I'm sure you do but I still think he's miles better than everyone around him. Biggest problem I see is he gives away possession a lot but also is far more dangerous in terms of creativity than others.

To me playing him further up field and not expecting much in the way of defending would see him at least be the creative outlet United are desperately missing most of the time
---------------------------

This is exactly how he should be played. He is too much of a liability when he plays deeper. He doesn't rack runners and he also takes too many risks in dangerous areas when he is on the ball. Play him further forwards where he can take those risks without it being so dangerous and where he isn't expected to do too much defensively. I really don't understand what Ole is doing with him this season.

We play on the break with lots of pace and only Pogba capable.of playing a long pass. That's why he plays deep.
